Homecoming Weekend

Hope everyone is enjoying the fabulous fall weather on this spectacular Homecoming Weekend.   Go Lynx.  Or did they change the mascot too?   I went to visit the college I where I graduated yesterday.  After I purchased a few items in the bookstore I began to stare at the wall of floor to ceiling windows in the back of the room.  I could tell the young sales clerk thought I was having a senior moment or something.  The problem was force of habit.   When I went to school there, this building was the student center, not a store.   This room was where people hung out between classes and played cards, picked up a newspaper or bought a snack.  And there were glass doors that led to the patio outside where professors often sat reading, not windows.  This building was a passageway.  Naturally, they had closed it off when it was converted to a store selling books and alumni gift items.  The student center is now much larger, nearer the new gym and swimming pool which didn't exist before.  So there was no door I could exit through where I was staring.  It was a bit like the name of that play I performed in while there, No Exit.  Happily, at this point, I can still remember where the other doors are.
