Alumni Weekend, Part Two

12 April 2014: Some of my best friends, their terrific kids, and a baseball game? What could be better?

Alumni Weekend, Part One

11 April 2014: When you have an awesome weekend with some of the best friends you could ask for, you also find yourself with an embarrassment of riches when it comes to "what you are thankful for" posts. So here and now, with a couple of days distance, I'll just pick what comes to my mind first for each day of my visit back to Roanoke College for my 15-year reunion.

For Friday, I'll pick the fun and ridiculous ride Jane and I shared as we drove down. She is my ideal road trip buddy, I think. We can be silly and serious, talk about the mundane and the profound, and there's never a dull moment. And she makes amazing playlists.
