Needless to say, we are considered "Old Geezers" among the Egghead Community. And for good reason, some of us have reached the "Old" part and even gone past it.
But we don't all reach one of the definitions of "Old Geezer" - "Old geezer is a somewhat insulting term for an older person, especially one who is no longer cool, hip or with the times. An example of an old geezer is a grumpy old man who sits on his porch all day yelling at neighborhood kids. "
Quite the contrary. We older Eggheads still like to eat well, abide in adult beverages, do fun things and hang out with the Egghead Friends we've made over the years. The truth is we are fun-loving people who just happen to enjoy cooking on their Big Green Eggs.
With that in mind, it is no wonder that only a few days after it was announced that we Old Geezers were invited to a 'ReunionFest' in Fredericksburg, Texas in February 2020, people started coming out of the woodwork to say they love the idea.
And the response has been great. There are at least 30 couples and a few individuals already signed up at the hotel.
A few more say they are bringing their RV, or driving in for the big day.
The difference in this 'fest' is we will not be cooking and serving food all day to strangers like at Eggfests, but just enjoying the company of our many Egghead Friends.
And Fredericksburg is a perfect place to pull it off. A small town with old German roots and plenty of touristy things to see and do, eat and drink well, and relax in peace and quiet. And of course, talk about the Big Green Egg that magically brought all of us together.
The best word to describe our anticipation of this wonderful gathering of old friends is 'EGGcited.'
The best thing we can say to the Egghead who set it all up is "Thanks Mike "Lawn Ranger" Schweitzer, you did good."
