</div>Unlike most schools (or at least most other schools I've heard of) my high school hosts its class reunions as part of the Homecoming celebration every football season. This means that the reuniting classes get to ride on floats in the Homecoming parade and walk out onto the football field for a pre-game roll call (see photo).

The class reunion was fun. My favorite part was riding on the float in the parade; I could have done without the line-up on the football field. It was nice to see my high school chums, most of whom I hadn't seen since the last reunion ten years ago. Some I would like to have seen did not attend, and I would have liked to have more time to visit with several who were there. Unfortunately, since we didn't have an evening dance party like last time, I wasn't able to share my homecoming dance iPod mix with my classmates. One of them pointed out that I'd left off an essential tune: "Fire Water Burn" (aka "The Roof is on Fire") by Bloodhound Gang. Yes, this was an unfortunate oversight. I thought I had looked for this song and found it on an album-only download at iTunes. I see now that I was wrong and must rectify the playlist situation pronto.
