Back to school

So the kids are back. Durham is awaking from its slumber. Even though so many of us who stay in town during its slumps complain quite a bit, I can't help but point out that there's something nice about the tranquil little city. Need I point out that the risk of being held at an intersection by a long line of drunken college students is minimal while we complain of boredom in the summer months?

This weekend I can anticipate avoiding Main st. as the bars and restaurants fill. Your days of quiet conversation while having a drink are gone for the next 9 months. Get ready to yell, or just stay at home. I think that yelling over a crowd in a bar loses its allure once you have no need for a fake ID, but that's just me talking.

As for myself, I have a lot of work to do. I shouldn't forget the fact that I'm spending this time being unproductive right now too. I should probably stay home, but... the mechanical bull at Shooters will be brought back from the dead. No! I shouldn't! I guess I'll be missing out.
