Afternoon from the Boardwalk. Most of the guys left yesterday with Randall, Jodi and a few others leaving later today or tomorrow. A quick update on the last few days. In short, a good time was had by all.
Bit of a pain driving up Friday. After little sleep, I left a 5am and dense fog followed me much of the way. Felt a little tired so I pulled off to cat nap and finally got up here around 10. Friday night was the bar crawl. We started at Jock's had a couple there and some munchies. The weather started to turn so at the Boathouse most of us decided to beat the rain and headed out. Needless to say I was dead tired. Unfortunately I gave DD and her roomie the bedroom and I was stuck on the pull out couch. Terrible sleep the whole weekend.
After canceling the half, a few of the guys that didn't need to get up at 3, decided to instead play at the party room. Heard but did not witness large quantities of libations were consumed but no one was seriously wounded. Saturday came the Ohana dinner. The mood at the pre-meet was subdued, I think because of the Friday night consumption. They had a huge table for dinner and I think the Gulf of Mexico was emptied of shrimp.
Sunday was Marathon day and there were no casualties to report from our runners. I know Paul ran a very good time and Andriana also did well. She was a few minutes away from making her goal but seemed to be satisfied. While they were slogging it out there in the course, a number of us trekked our way to Kona for our annual breakfast. I was a little disappointed in the food, not hot at all and they were off on the home fries. Last night, Randall organized a dinner at Cape May for a few of the stragglers. We met them at Martha's vineyard for a couple of drinks and said our final goodbyes.
Finally got some sleep last night (or rather early in the morning). Felt much better but the pull out is doing a number on my back and posterior. Did a quick trip off campus to gather supplies for the game tonight and had decent Mexican for lunch. About to go check out the scene at ESPN.
I am so glad that I decided to he11 with it and drive up. It was great seeing old friends and meeting some new guys. Had a fun time here. My only regret is that I missed the BBQ on Thursday. That looked like it was a party. Also would allowed more time to catch up with everybody.
