Reunion.

Synonyms: homecoming; reconciliation; assembly; get-together; making up; reuniting.Yes I’m here in Flint doing all the above. With my mother. With my sister-in-law. With my long ago classmates…

For the heck of it, I tried to find a word for negative reunions .  It’s the way my mind works- I’ve been looking for a word for negative nostalgia for years*. The above all assume there is a hopefulness and positive aspect to getting back together.

Fiona1The closest I could get was ANNEXATION. Fiona is staying with Lauren this week. This is a photo of her luxuriating in Lauren’s bed. When I get home it will be more annexation and less reuniting…

 

*I like to keep my verbal options open ended…

Today I’m not drinking because I am reuniting!

How come you’re not drinking?
