As a change of scenery, Doug loaded Oakley into the car and we took a Saturday drive up to Miami University in Oxford, home to the majority of Doug's illustrious undergrad years. We drove around campus, picked up food at Bagel & Deli (I stuck with the Wham-O that Carrie introduced me to long ago, while Doug opted for a Tanya Harding), ate under a shady tree and strolled around until rain moved in.The highlight of our day was driving past a college house where a couple students were seated on the front lawn, equipped with an inflatable pool, a slip-n-slide, music, beer, and a hanging spray-painted sheet that read, "You honk, we drink." Of course, we obliged--to great cheers--and it was all I could do to keep Doug from circling the block and honking all afternoon. Ah, college.
