On Campus

Out of town and walking around a university campus. The contact person for my workshop recommended scouting out the location ahead of time and she was right. The place is a maze. I asked three students for the location of the building and not one of them knew. Fortunately, I had some rough directions and was able to reckon the spot by using stars and reading animal sign. Eventually, I could ask at a front desk and not get blank stares. Plenty of other stares came my way, of course, since my passport to the World of the Young expired years ago. Unfortunately, it cannot be renewed and so I have a visiting alien status.

Those of us who are older (and I'm not that old, saith the geezer) live in a different world from the young. We have other points of reference, heroes, music, and interests, although the last item may be closer than we realize. The age gap needs more exploration.

Anyway, I'm ready for my class and expect to get there with time to spare. If I can just get these roller blades on.
