The Nostalgia Tour Begins
I went to college at Northwestern, where I met Helen. And I grew up in Grove City,OH, just outside Columbus.
At the moment I'm blogging in Evanston, IL, two blocks from Northwestern's campus and where we had our wedding celebration. Tonight Helen and I strolled around campus a bit; we saw the dorm that contained the dining hall where we met, and discovered that the student center now has a Starbucks. (Perhaps Helen already knew this, and it was my discovery alone). I kept trying to distinguish what was new on campus (at least to Class of 1999 graduates like myself) from what was old. The recycling bins seem stable.
Tomorrow morning we're renting a car and driving to Ohio for a few days. Mom and Bob are leaving soon, for permanent retirement in Arizona. And even the Columbus Clippers are moving into a new stadium, leaving behind the Cooper Stadium I grew up enjoying. So tomorrow night we're watching the Clippers at the old stadium, while we still can.
For all these reasons I'm feeling more nostalgic than usual these days. Blog readers beware! :)
