The UPPER Midwest, eh? Brrrr! But I've been to Wichita Falls, too, and I agree with your assessment... No, the bonfire <s>is</s> was on the southern side of campus in a large open area that is now a parking lot. *sigh* Howdy, GL! The UPPER Midwest, eh? Brrrr!

Ok, I am from the UPPER Midwest, although I was stationed in Wichita Falls one time.

Yes, I think I know what you mean. In fact, it gave me a great post idea. There are times when trying to 'force' meaning out of something before it's time is a mistake. I think this might be one of those times. Thanks for the input! Y'all come back, y'hear! Hey, welcome, Alistair! Yes, I think I know what you mean. In fact, it gave me a great post idea.

There are times when trying to ‘force’ meaning out of something before it’s time is a mistake. I think this might be one of those times.

Thanks for the input! Y’all come back, y’hear!

I've had similar experiences, of a sort. And I think part of the deal here is just to sit with it and not force the meaning out of it... it will come. There are experiences (profound ones) that I had back in 93/94 that I am still digging the meaning out of... and well, 14 or so years later I'm getting clarity. I don't mean to over-profundify (!) my point, except to say that you can't for these kinds of revelations. Strange how the human spirit works, isn't it?! -Alister Sweet post, this one, Robert.

I can't believe how much the ol' campus has grown, though. Back when I was a student, Kyle Field was still just a dinky stadium. It's humongous now. Oh, and Whoop! back at ya'!

That's a good Texas tradition! Or Blue Bell Ice Cream. I hear the 'little creamery in Brenham' has about 2 million sq ft under roof these days. Perhaps a sasparilla then!

Actually, I'd probably say something along the lines of: "we learn from a very early age that time is linear, and some of us unlearn it as the years go by." Not that I'm doing much time traveling, but I've seen the future at times (because I wrote down stuff that made no sense at the time, but made complete sense some months later). That's about all the philosophizing I've got in me today. See, I told you we should have had a beer. Cheers, Mike “I wish we were visiting over a beer.”
