Happy Friday Guy

So today was nearly a disaster. I went to change in the "Scooter Lair" and the scooter decided today was not a day to scoot.... at least not under its own power. I really wish I would have eaten my Wheaties this morning. In fact I wish I would have eaten anything. By the time I was passing by the Student Center I was already exhausted. I never realized how much of an incline there was on all the roads around campus. Its uphill both ways. ;)

I normally look forward to the first big "HAPPY FRIDAY" that I belt out around the Whitinger Building, but today I was sucking wind by then, and yelled, but it definitely didn't have the some shocking volume that is normally there. Oh well, the effect is the same, its just not as far-reaching.

By the time I made it to the Scramble Light it was already noon, meaning I had missed most of the crowd. Drats! That also mean the TComm guys would be gone already, and that's a bummer too. I look forward to them every week.

Well, my efforts didn't go unrewarded. I got to take a bunch of pictures with folks, and decided that walking beside my scooter wasn't a half bad idea. Especially after a guy in from of TC gave me an untouched ( I think ... it was rather full) Hot Chocolate. I wonder if he bought it in anticipation of my arrival. How sweet, and how sweet it was... and hot too! That was nice. As I slowly moved through campus, there was a much more personal feel to the rounds. I got to cruise along at the same pace as the rest of the folks. I think it was nice for all parties involved.

It was a pretty standard day full of honks, yells, and fists pumping all accompanied by ear-to-ear smiles.

So I got to Lafollette. 10 minutes later, and some old friends came running out to greet me! I remember them. They gave me the sign way back in October I think? Well, your pictures are up now! Oh... and they gave me some of those valentine cake thingies. The same Little Debbie treats that come in the Christmas tree shape, but these were in the shape of hearts. Then one asked me to be her valentine. *blush* Sure. I guess I didn't really blush, but I should have.

I took my time home, and was trying to get a ride. I kept looking for some nice person driving a truck to haul me and my stubborn scooter back towards, but not to, the lair (we wouldn't want anyone to find out my true identity).

All along the way I chatted with the people and took advantage of the slow speed of the day by taking more pictures. It was nice seeing you all.

I hope you all have a good week and a Happy Friday. I gotta get busy on getting that dumb scooter fixed.... if I don't, I'm going to have another Friday next week where my legs are jello from all that pushing.
