Adventure

One moment I was at Rocky Run, enjoying a reunion with an old friend in town from Tuscon for the big game this weekend.

The next moment, I was traipsing through the deep woods in Baltimore County with four other guys, European ("can't get 'em in the states") beers balanced in our hands. I was still in my tie and dress shoes, and I was slip-sliding down the leave-covered hill.

Everyone needs a little adventure.

However, we don't need the kind of adventure that happened to a colleague last night on the school grounds - getting robbed at gunpoint on the running track. Scary, surreal shit.

Tomorrow is going to be a crazy day. The big game is Saturday at Ravens Stadium and tomorrow the celebrations will be all day. And I'm being observed...

A fire would have hit the spot. Alas, there was only the stars and warm beer. It was still nice, though.
