Good Dates
A- and I spent yesterday visiting James Madison University as part of his ongoing tour of potential colleges. JMU is about 2-and-a-half hours from our house. We did it down-and-back in one day so there were times when we could have some nice father-son conversations. (Like for 45-minutes straight on the way home once the 1-liter bottle of Code Red Mountain Dew he drank leaving Harrisonburg kicked in.)
Turns out his dinner party prior to the Saturday night homecoming dance consisted of 5 couples. All of the guys are on the cross country team. None of the dates are.
I asked him "You guys didn't talk about running the whole night, did you?"
"Well, not the whole night."
Those poor girls.

Good looking boy. As a professor, I see a lot of athletes & runners & swimmers have always struck me as the most intelligent & thoughtful. This year, though, I have a couple of very bright female Lecross players in a freshman class. I was completely unathletic as a kid & now get my exercise walking my dogs, but I love the idea of physical excellence, at least.
