Old haunts and haunted new ones…

Boiler Up! We stopped at Purdue University on our drive from Batesville, IN to Brooklyn, MI. It was fun to see where C went to school and while we couldn’t get inside to test the temperature (hmmm – suspicious?), I can confirm the existence of the Cold Air Dorm. C can explain sometime if you’ve … Continue reading

Lovin’ Batesville!

Thank you, Ted and Shannon, for a really fun mid-week weekend!

Boiler up!

C had a mini reunion last night – even Dalf was there (via phone). We’re stopping by Purdue on the way to Michigan. I am looking forward to seeing this “cold air dorm” I’ve heard so much about…
