GAPA Reunion!

Robert was in Northern California last weekend, and he and Rosanne got together with some friends and went to a Chinese restaurant. Photographic proof inside!


Rosanne looking frolicsome, as usual. Note impeccably curly hair, a result of her strict conditioner-without-shampoo regimen.


Robert looking considerably less frolicsome than usual because he had to get up at 3 a.m. Washington time to catch his plane and now has been on the go for 20 hours straight. Don’t be fooled, though: he’s really enjoying himself immensely.

  3. *sings*

    She won’t grow up.
    Not a penny will she pinch.
    She will never grow a moustache (?!)
    Or a fraction of an inch.
    ‘Cause growing up is awful-ler
    Than all the awful things that ever were.
    She’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow u-u-up,
    No sir!

    Rosanne works at Stanford. We got together in the Monterey Bay area. You’ve probably eaten in the restaurant. (Chicken with dates and yams. Yum!)

    Veralidaine (9),

    You should have seen the dance routine that went with it.

  8. Yeah Roseanne, I wish I had hair like that, even though it would probably look horrendous on me personally. It looks really good on you though.

  10. Em, video camera? Rosanne looks like mt aunt! exept for the hair. The hair is amazing. “conditioner-without-shampoo regimen.” hmm… how does that work? i have yet to hear about just using conditioner! i suppose it would work but how does it make your hair “impeccably curly “?
    i did a report on sleep depriveation robert! you look like you could use more sleep. travel is a living heck.

  12. We’ve decided to get younger every year. It seemed so boring to grow in the same direction as everyone else. I don’t recommend that any of you try it for a while, though: you do not want to be three again, believe me.

  14. GAPA reunion! Exciting! I must agree, Rosanne has awesome hair and Robert looks sleep deprived. He also appears to be squeezed in to the picture. Only half his face is showing…

    Enjoy your reunion, GAPAs!

  15. 12: GAH! Mental images. Wow.
    I think all a counter-clockwise clock would do is confuse me, not make me younger. Not that I want to be younger- 14’s just fine, thank you.

  19. Rosanne looks younger in the pic, but i think robert looked younger in the clip. Mebbe it’s the sleep deprivation.

    Oh, I usually look a lot better than I was looking that night. At least, I hope I do. That was zombie territory, there. But it was worth it.

  22. it was a camera phone. i meant to say camera video.

    there is this book about old people getting younger, but i can’t remember the name. this sucks, as i desperately need to read the rest of it.

    I’ve stopped using shampoo ever since one of my cousins suggested it. I wash my hair with conditioner instead. After an approximately two-week period of extra frizziness, my hair calmed down. Cutting out shampoo makes hair like mine more curly and less frizzy. Yay!

  24. Conditioner with no shampoo? I need to try that. Hmmm…

    I’ve stayed up for almost a day once and it was AWFUL. -dead-

  27. (33) yes! that was it! thanks. i knew it was a conundrum. occasionally i have to stay in my chorus teacher’s atl, and she’s reading us this book.

    actually, now that i look at both the clip and the pic, i think robert looks the same. probably it’s the bad pixilation in the clip.

    stanford? right. where is that?

  28. Cool! You look way tired. I always get really bad jet lag when I fly somewhere, ’cause for whatever reason I can never sleep on a plane when I’m leaving for vacation, but when I’m coming back home (if it’s not a midday flight and it’s either night or I had to get up unusually early) I sleep way better. Weird.

  31. You guys look great!

    Ms. Spector’s hair is actually just as curly as mine. Except for the fact that mine, at the moment, has been soaked with olive oil and done in a plastic-wrap bubble that looks like something out of “Loonies Gone Wild.”

    I’ve been in that restaurant. In fact, it is the time-honored meeting place of my family and my father’s coworker Allan’s family, a bunch of really cool froods who LOVE Sturgeon and Asimov. I also like the Purple Enchilada, a Mexican place with awesome live mariachi music Saturday nights and complimentary dancing lessons, and a noodle place also in Redondo Beach whose name I can never remember. It’s got really awesome mismatched dishes and live geishas. I recommend it.

    Mr. Coontz, you look very intellectual. And your grandfather came up in my Social Studies class today, so you can burst with familial pride. I fell asleep. JK! I hung on my teacher’s every word.

  32. olive oil? um. why?
    i hate flying (in a airplane, i am sure real flying would be dynamic) i fast on airplanes.

  33. My post disappeared. anyways, i probably have eaten at whatever the restaurant is. if you ask me, rosanne’s hair is more like the perfect mix of curly and wavy.
