Sing, Sing a Song...

Kenny Rogers' The Gambler came on the radio while i was on the way to work. Singing along with it took me back 16 years, to my many weekend visits to Cornell, where a lot of my friends went to school. Where I would stand in the stairwell of the North Campus student union and sing country and western standards while other danced. Happy times that. I don't get to sing enough nowadays.

I'm not much for country and western but yay for sudden happy reminisces!

I lived in Donlon Hall from fall 1992-1993, and Dickson from 1993-1994, so I spent a *lot* of time going up and down the stairs of Robert Purcell Community Center (which is what the student union got renamed, I believe in '92).

Any chance you knew Jennifer Johnson, Kate Brody, Alex Benton, or Viv Holt? Jen is/was Pagan and graduated in 95 or so. They were the more musical friends I knew from then who were older than I.

Or, for that matter, did you ever wind up at the Prospect of Whitby housing co-op? (Dave *mumble something* was a folk musician who lived there and had a cluster of musician friends...)

My friends all lived in Umoja and Donlon, and graduated in `92, though Kate Brody's name is familiar. So mayhap, but i don't right recall.

Kate was my Resident Advisor, and we stayed in touch (we travelled in the same Queer/geek circles) until she moved to Israel in '96 or so.

There was another gay geeky RA who I was friends with, but I don't remember his name. (We ran a local Amiga Developer's Group).

And everyone I knew in Uj was younger than that. :)

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
