XA Reunion


My Crew

Well, as many of you know... I made the trip down to Mobile, AL while I was in Alabama visiting family this past Christmas.

While I was there I managed by some miracle to successfully get a large number of old Chi Alpha folks to come hang out with me at O'Charleys. It was so good to see everybody together again for a little while and to catch up. We all are so busy in our lives, but it's so good to know that we can come together at anytime and it's just like old times again. More or less...

I had a really wonderful visit to Mobile and it made me miss the place if you can believe that. I typically am quite happy not to live in Mobile. I think that since it wasn't summer time, that tended to help make me more amiable toward the place.

To me personally, there is nothing in this planet that can be any worse than Mobile, AL in the summer-time... OMG! It's like 100 degrees and the second you step outside you're pouring sweat. I despise it. The only thing that I found to be worse was Lafayette, LA in the summer time. I'd rather cover my body with duct tape and have it violently ripped off.... uh, well.. maybe not that bad, but that's an interesting mental picture, right?

Well anyway, I had a wonderful time and I miss everybody so much. I can't wait to see you guys again next winter. Until then, I guess I'll just have to enjoy myself up here.
