I rode down to Brown County, then met a buddy at The
Ordinary in Nashville, IN for a quiet beer.
That put me in a great mood for cruising into Bloomington. For all of us that went to school here, there is simply no better
place in the world to be. We checked
into the Union, then went for a walk and re-lived a bunch of great
stories. I love the old part of campus –
had most of my classes there the first semester of my freshman year.
I also lived out on "the extension" and liked to hang out at
the bell tower, it was always quiet there. A buddy and I climbed it
one night, and we were able to get into the control room and play the
bells. Well, it was more like “clanging”
the bells. It's a carillon, with a keyboard. So,
it’s like playing a piano – but I never took any piano lessons.
Of course, we dominated the space at Nick’s. What a great place to catch up with
everyone! After closing time, it was off to the Waffle
House.
