Gift Frenzy

Thanks again to Suzi and Marge! Here are some pics of me with the new t-shirt and my immediately beloved teddy bear. It's just my size.



And here is another photo essay as I reflect back upon my time in Wilkes-Barry. I want to take a moment and talk about the faded grandeur of the "Diamond City". It was once the center of a massive coal mining industry, in addition to Planter's Peanuts and Woolworth's (local Fred Kirby was a co-founder). Because of Wilkes University, some of the grand old mansions from the WB's heyday are preserved....






I also went to a couple room parties at the hotel. There's nothing like a room party to make you feel like you went to college. I got to know some of the biped's classmates, like Scott here.


And George, too. The biped thinks George's facial hair makes him look like Custer.

Here's George.


Here's Custer (and his beautiful wife Libbie)
