I attended a reunion tonight for almnus members of the theatre group from my university.
What I[ve noted about reunions, or at the very least, myself at a reunion, is that no matter what I've been able to accomplish since I last saw these people. No matter what I've done, or been successful with, when I am together with these people, I seem to be no better or no more than I was when I last saw these people (about 20 years ago) -- a boring, pathetic, wimp.
Perhaps this is why I don't usually go to these kinds of reunions.

Stix's musing on everything from fine art to literature, drama and videos, and quite possibly way too much about his children.

I may be a bit prejudiced, since you've been pretty much my best friend since Junior High, but I don't think you're either boring or pathetic. What distubs me about this post is the underlying sense of needing to be "better" or "more" than you were 20 years ago. I know what you mean, and avoided class reunions until just recently (I feel more of a success now with my teaching position). It's just a bit sad that that should define who we are.
