Sitting in Littlejohn Colliseum I asked for a few suggestions for today's blog title and have gotten next to nothing from some of our support staff and managers. Birthday girl Lauren Bryant suggested something about Tiger Pride and another staff member thought she was hysterical making a pun about their Littlejohn Colliseum and our Big John Thompson. As you can see I am working with very little today. Anyway, on to the trip...
After boarding a plane for Texas this weekend, I never thought that the D.C. area was going to get as much snow as it did. Like Ryan, whenever they talk about the blizzard of "insert year here", I just assume it will snow some, turn to rain or the dreaded freezing rain, and ice up/melt within a day or so. Flash forward to Saturday and turning on the hotel tv.......bummer for all the people who were stuck in the blizzard. I received text messages and pictures of the streets and scenes (a grocery-store line a mile long, people buying things for the armageddon, etc.). At this point I just figured there would be some flight delays and changed the channel to some hoops.
Greetings from sunny California,
where I am with the Hoya men's basketball team as we get ready to play the University of Washington in the John Wooden Classic on
Saturday.
It's getting to be Finals time here at GU and I have got a final presentation on Thursday and next Tuesday ... along with having to run over for a presentation meeting with our one professor innnnnn a few minutes. So, along with some other people in this department, we sympathize with the students a little more at this point.
Hello Georgetown fans! Hope everyone had a great weekend and that our inch of snow for those in the District didn't slow anyone down. We had another outstanding weekend here on campus as both the men's and women's teams were victorious. I was finishing everything up for the women's game so I wasn't able to make it down to Verizon, but I heard it was a balanced win for the men over local-rival American.
Hope everyone had a really nice Thanksgiving and got to spend the holiday with people they care about. Turkey Day consisted of sleeping in, eating good food and watching a Bronco win to cap it all off. My parents have moved from just outside Philadelphia to Allentown,
Pa so the drive has turned into a 3 1/2 hour trip up I-95 to a 3 1/2
hour trek across I-83 and I-76. Not that this matters to many, but the
scenery is definitely different.
