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.
