I remember when...
So this weekend I was in Kalamazoo. It was great to catch up with some fraternity Brothers. I missed a few like Vic who I thought was in town but he is still not back from NY, and Rey who I just talked to on the phone instead. However I made a strange realization over the weekend. It is official ladies and gentlemen... I am old.
My plans were to hit some of my old hangouts. Top on the list was Burdick's Bar and Grill. Which is on the first floor of the Radisson Hotel. It was the place I would always go with the IFC guys. On Sunday's WMU students got half off and we ate like kings. The cheesy spinach dip is awesome and the prime rib... well you all know how I feel about well cooked meat. The food was the same, but the entire place changed. They remodeled everything! I had to call my best friend (counterpart as we call eachother) Megan and tell her! I felt all old after I heard myself say, "Man this place has changed since I went to Western." I sounded like those 50 year-old alums you would see in the bookstore over Homecoming weekend talking about college before there were computers on campus...
Then I took a quick tour of the new engineering college. They built a new campus for the engineering college. It started when I was there but it is now finally all coming online. The buildings were awesome! Then I said, "Man I wish they had this stuff when I went here." Another old person comment. Kinda like wishing cars had been invented or something so I did not have to walk to class.

It was a weekend of good memories. I looked through all of Geo's photo albums of his engagement, weddings and his last India trip. Man I had not been in his apartment for over a year! I remember when I used to go there like everyday after class to chill with him and Vic. I remember when you needed a place to stay over the summer... call Geo. I remember picking him up, and then heading over to get Vic for Club Soda every Thursday for Latin Night. Good times.
The guys had a little Superbowl gig at the house. I remember the days when I used to see them all the time. Now they don't even email (yeah I am talking to Gary and Rudy!) anyone. It was fun having to rush out and get Ish cause his car broke down, nothing like a last minute roadtrip like the "good old days"...
