i stole from jay paterno

I totally stole this twitpic from jay paterno, yeah, that JayPaterno: QB coach for the Penn State Nittany Lion football team, Son of JoePa...JayPa. Yes I follow him on twitter.

this is besides the point really. The point is I saw this picture and almost cried. Tears sprung to my eyes and I wished that instead of waiting for Nick to come home from BCK I was waiting for him to come over after a long day in the larch studio. We would walk downtown from my apartment or his to go play darts at Zeno's. Or maybe I'm homesick for Arrelaine and our long chats at the Dark Horse over a tasty Tonto's Demise. (which only became deeper on half priced nights)

I just get homesick, sometimes, for that town. My friend, Lee, referred to it once as "oz" and I truly believe it (as in wizard of...not the prison show). There were 60,000 of us college students there but somehow you found your "people" and made your world.

Thanks, Jay Paterno, for taking this picture. I wish I was walking downtown for a beer at the Sports Cafe to watch the Yankees game today.
