Separation Anxiety...and Then Some...

No matter how much you don't want to adapt to a place and become part of it, you do. I never considered myself a "Bender," but little by little, it creeps into your pores and there you are. You know all the back ways and little "hot spot" places - as well as the place to avoid like the plague on game days.

You have some recognition of the head coach at Notre Dame, whether you want to or not and you know what draft pick the QB was. OK, well, I took a little liberty in this one...I actually don't know this info right now...and I often get razzed for it too. I can, however, still sing the Superbowl Shuffle and tell you the Bears starting line up for the 84 (or was it 85?) team.

Home. It has become home. I love this house, I love my friends. I am going to miss having them in close proximity. They, of course, are always near to my heart.
