We're home now after a trip to visit our daughter at her new
collegiate home, and I'm jealous. It's an endless cycle of reading,
naps, pick up games of flag football, and lots of nighttime
entertainment like Gypsy Jazz bands and improv comedy. I'm not quite
sure it prepares them for a world of working, paying bills, and
vehicle repair, but who cares? Let them have their fun.
Our daughter supposedly has two roommates, but we have only spotted
one. The other one might be a decoy to get a bigger room, I'm not
sure. However many girls actually live there, they all live at the
same level of sloppiness, which is a good thing. We wouldn't want our
daughter to feel pressured by pockets of tidiness around the room. Our
daughter has a lonely fish that mostly plays dead at the bottom of its
empty fish bowl. It's lack of activity has earned it the name Stoner
Fish.
The other thing I love about campus life is that everyone either rides
a bike or walks to their destination. Our daughter wanted to take us
to her favorite restaurant, specializing in pumpkin pancakes, but she
only knew how to get there by walking on the railroad tracks. She
seemed disappointed and a bit disoriented when we took the car. I
tried to explain, "We're not walking on the tracks in the rain. We're
just going to breakfast, this isn't Stand by Me."
