april 30-may 3, 2009

my third and last trip of april was back to ann arbor to watch the last group of kids i went to school with graduate, and also to visit old college and high school friends.  i usually visit AA twice a year, once for graduation and once in the fall for a football game.  however, i skipped the fall visit last year due to a dismal football season.  that made it the longest time i’ve been away from michigan since high school when i was living in korea.

one of the first thing i noticed as soon as i stepped outside DTW was the awesome clean air.  i’ve never noticed breathing ‘clean air’ until this week… i guess it’s hard to explain what it feels like, kind of like explaining what good water tastes like… but it was a very refreshing.

in a nutshell the trip constituted a lot of beer, food (a lot of no thai in particular), friends, not enough exercise, not enough pictures, and not quite enough no thai.

it’s always nice to see old friends and familiar places, and this trip was no different.  i got my fair share of michigan with going out to bars with locals, visits from my high school fob friends, trip to novi for ahjishin, trip to downtown AA and of course the graduation ceremony at the big house.  i only wish i drank less and took some more pictures… -_____________-;;

i’m looking forward to some more refreshing air when i visit again in june for the alumni conference.

it only seems like yesterday you were a frosh… now you’re just, old
