A parade of one

Hello all you students of life

Wendy and I went to Campbell's homecoming earlier today. We arrived on the campus around 10:15 in the morning. We found a place to park and proceeded to meet some friends. I guess the parade had just ended. We saw evidence of the ground crew picking up trash or leftover candy in the streets. We would see a crowd of people and then it would be a ghost town or campus.

We walked around the campus some and ended up in the bookstore. I am glad I am not in class anymore. Books were extremely expensive. At least to me. Wendy did order a class ring, 10 years after graduation.

Then we had lunch at the campus grille. It was alright. Wendy got a chicken cheesesteak and I got a regular cheesesteak. Then we sat around and talked with our friends. We decided it was time to leave.

It is strange that with all the people on campus, in the crowd, we did not see anyone we knew. I guess we were in the wrong spots.

On the way back to Cary, Wendy and I stopped at an ice cream shop. A friend was kind enough to pay for our scoop because they only accepted cash or check. Wendy and I had neither. I got one scoop that looked massive. I was wondering if the person scooping was going to stop putting ice cream in the my cone. It was pretty good and cheap.

The good news is that the rain held off. It was sprinkling some when we left but cleared up around Campbell. It actually got pretty warm. Then as we came back to Cary it became cloudy and the rain continued.
