Home Again

I made the long drive home in one night. I stopped once to take a little nap (about an hour and a half) because the rain was too heavy for me to see too far ahead and I didn’t want to get in an accident. I pulled over at a rest stop and leaned my seat back. After that, I walked around a bit outside (the rain had died down enough that I only got moderately soaked) and got back on the road.

Last night I had a few buddies who were driving through here on their way back home and we went out to the party that is downtown right now for dinner. I’ve never seen any of these bars, pubs, restaurants or clubs so packed as they were last night. And I was amazed how many older people were out there. It’s not that I don’t think older people can’t party with the best of them, it’s just that the music and atmosphere of these places was not … geriatric appropriate.

I’m exhausted and I’m headed to bed in an hour (two o’ clock) to try to catch up on some of the sleep I have missed over the last six weeks (especially the last two days).

Horray for successful graduation and getting back home!
