No work this weekend for me! I'm going to go out and play, but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do. Maybe photography early in the morning. Hopefully all of you have fun plans!

At any rate, he went to the front desk of the Cavalier to get a new key. The girl behind the counter noticed his DUKE shirt and said, "ooh, that's the wrong color shirt." He asked, "what is the right color?" and she said, "carolina blue, of course."
He looked at her and said, "if that's such a good color, why is YOUR shirt Duke blue?" (In fact, the Cavalier staff was wearing something along the lines of a royal blue.)
They all laughed, except for the sheep lover, and another girl said, "Oh, no, it isn't Duke blue. It's Kentucky blue."
He said, "Oh, Kentucky. We haven't paid much attention to them since Christian Laettner came along."

I think I'll keep him.
Turk is closer to Philly than Pittsburgh, I believe.Lavabe wrote:The best part of the tour at Duke was meeting up with Tilly Galore afterwards.ArkieDukie wrote:Hope they all went well! Any favorites?

The best part of the tour at BU was meeting up with Boston Devil afterwards.
Did not think of it at the time, but shoot, I could have met up with Miles when visiting Charlotte.
Hmm... how far away from Pittsburgh is Turk?
Shoulda gone to Atlanta. Then you coulda met up with, never mind...Lavabe wrote:The best part of the tour at Duke was meeting up with Tilly Galore afterwards.ArkieDukie wrote:Hope they all went well!

Would have rendez-voused at the Folks restaurant in Cobb County. ;)devildeac wrote:Shoulda gone to Atlanta. Then you coulda met up with, never mind...Lavabe wrote:The best part of the tour at Duke was meeting up with Tilly Galore afterwards.

Sounds like you had fine folks to visit at almost every stop. Is there going to be a St. Louis trip for the college tour? It would give you a fine excuse for trips to Ted Drewes, Schafly's, and Blueberry Hill.Lavabe wrote:The best part of the tour at Duke was meeting up with Tilly Galore afterwards.ArkieDukie wrote:Hope they all went well!

Thanks! All systems go for one participant. Further strategizing to come this week. It will take careful navigation of political waters, and that's all I'll say for now.

It's so cool that your work is going to Monaco! Someone there has fine taste in art.CameronBornAndBred wrote:Love the Rev. Lawgrad story..that's awesome.

WashU was last summer. That went a little better than did the Duke tour, but mostly because of the Hill, Ted Drewes, and one of my former students ( who babysat LL, and is now an Anthro prof there).ArkieDukie wrote:Sounds like you had fine folks to visit at almost every stop.

Alas, Turk has set up shop in the wrong end of the Commonwealth outside of Philly (Mrs. Turk doesn't think this is so bad), a mere 4 hrs or so from the ancestral (?) Turk roost. Am just up the road from Villanova, and know a little bit about St. Joe's and the other Philly Big 5 schools if they ever wind up on anyone's list. (Are you still keeping an eye on Ursinus, CathyCA?). Swee'Pea is liking Pitt very much; she kicked butt her first year and landed with a good group of kids in her dorm. This year she takes on O-Chem, which I understand is what separates the pre-med pretenders from the contenders. I am about as objective as Dookie V here, but I'll take the kid and give the points.Lavabe wrote:The best part of the tour at Duke was meeting up with Tilly Galore afterwards.ArkieDukie wrote:Hope they all went well!
