“Dude!”
4.24.09
On Tuesday, it was 33 degrees and snowing. On Thursday, it was 40 degrees and raining. Today it was something like 80 degrees and sunny. And boy, were the students out taking advantage of it — lounging all over the Kohl Center lawn and playing some mean sand volleyball in the Witte yard.
I also had a bit of a chance to take advantage of it as well: I had lunch with an old friend from college. It was great to see him and catch up.
Afterward, considering the nice weather, I decided to take a break from the work I should have been doing to go for a stroll up State Street — up one side and down the other — to see what had changed since the last time I’d strolled. (Turns out, a lot.)
Among the notable things about the stroll was a conversation between two young men who crossed my path. Says one to the other, “Dude! I spent $80 last night, and I only had one beer.”
I’m not sure what to make of that, other than… that guy apparently is not affected by the recession.
