War Eagle


Dear Scott,
It's day two in Auburn and I'll tell you one thing, I'm ready for a nap. We went out to the Mellow Mushroom last night for "pint night"- beer for three bucks a pint! I couldn't believe my ears! After I regained consciousness from stuffing myself with pizza like a Thanksgiving turkey, we headed over to a bar down the street where we played pool. You wouldn't believe it- I was a pool champion! Who knew!? Just for kicks I'd lay backwards on the pool table and try and make the shot...needless to say, my pool champion days were short lived...as were the legs of the table.

Last night Carrie, Jenna and I all shared a bed, I felt like an elephant in a phone booth. We got up early this morning and went to lunch at Big Blue Bagel, afterwards we wandered around Auburn for a little while and did some shopping, this town is a slice of Heaven. Jenna wanted to go into the football stadium but I was ready for a nap, and everyone knows that my attitude gets ugly without sufficient sleep. BUT this is an adventure so I pulled myself together. Carrie works for the Auburn Sports Network and has an ID tag that gets her in to Auburn sporting events. So she put her ID tag on and we walked right past the football stadium "security" with authority. The security guard was much too invested in his subway footlong to object. Before I knew it, we were standing in the center of the football field. I ran and ran and ran with the cold breeze at my back and the sunshine on my face. Then I did cartwheels across the touchdown line...or what I consider cartwheels, they may have been closer to summer salts, or even log rolls. I made snow angels in the end zone. It was liberating. We just got back to Carrie's and now it most certainly is nap time.

Until we meet again,
Liney
