The weekend started with a tour of TW's college -- Colgate. I was exposed to the locations of where she had many "drunken" (hard to believe since she is perfect -- even in demoted status" evenings and where she ate pizza late at night with friends and where she would study and read for 10 hour sessions.
As many of you know, I graduated with a degree in history. During the tour (she was a tour guide in college), muh wife pointed to a building and said... "That building has historical significance." and then... tried to walk away. I didn't know what happened... you just don't tell someone that graduated with a history degree that something has historical significance and walk away. I called her on it and she got embarrassed. She forgot and tried to pass it off. It was cute. The building is below.
The tour was awesome and I enjoyed how much it made her happy to show me everything and how happy it made her to see all of her memories come flooding back.
That night, we went to a hockey game -- the top sport at Colgate. They had the pep band playing and townies all over the place. I couldn't believe that there was that much excitement and over hockey! Take a lookie lookie.
We crashed out at a local inn and made our way to Syracuse for the 12:00 game the next morning. We noticed the day before and for the entire ride up that there were more "Subway" sandwich shops than subway cars in New York City. Fascinating how some franchises just dominate some areas.
The game was fun and Rutgers won... but the highlight of the game was sitting near my RU hero's family. Brian Leonard. Here's a picture of the family. Notice the torn game worn jerseys that had grass stains and the likes.
After the game, we checked into our hotel and then went out to Dinosaur -- a barbecue joint recommended to us by SZG. It was worth the 1.5 hour wait. Thanks SZG. The best part was hearing my dainty wife order the "Big Ass Pork Plate." Hee hee.
After that, we walked over to a bar also recommended by SZG. We enjoyed a beer and realized that the bar was filled with people going to the Tori Amos concert next door. Tori Amos fans are a rare breed and watching them interact with each other was like being a voyeur. There were people who travelled from Norway to see her and someone was there from ENgland. She's got her fans... lots of them.
Sleep came next and the 5 hour ride home.
Why was it so long?
We stopped at Hot Dog Johnny's. I love that place and not once... did I think of Steakbellie ...
