2) Where Did Cynthia Go This Past Weekend?


This past weekend was the All Alumni Reunion Weekend for my High School DuSable. Friday was my c/o '84 Meet and Greet. Then on Saturday was the BBQ and our younger classes from the 2000s took over.. they packed the school field. After that I was tired.


That was my weekend
