Lessons

I have returned from Chico having learned these things:

• It is really really really white on that campus.
• I didn't realize that it is a really really really white campus when I was there.
• Things do change in 29 years.
• It is hard to move buildings but easy to add buildings. Therefore, I could still find my way around.
• I went to school with some wonderful people, especially Art Thompson and Wayne Miyamoto.
• Memories are good as memories. Going back to Chico, California was nice to do but I have no reason to go back again. I will always remember Helen's Donuts opening at 10 PM for the stoned college students to go and pick out our donuts in the back. I will remember being a successful sports writer but that person is gone. And that is just fine.
• A college town is just a town, it is not superior to the surrounding communities.
• I am still a student of life even after leaving college. There are many more lessons for me while I am here.
