Proof that Ken and I did exist in the University Pub, the main hangout near campus, together. The Pub has a wall or two of Polaroids taken over the years. We stopped in on our night in Fort Worth and split a pitcher with our friend Ron. Most of our time was spent searching for familiar faces in the photos. Shocking how many swimmers were in the photos. In this picture: Ken, Laura, Ryan Kling, Courtney Gardner and Ron Forrest (guessing that's Homecoming 1995)
We had dinner with Ron at Joe T. Garcia's, a legendary restaurant in Fort Worth's Cowtown. It's legendary for a reason. The Mexican food was outstanding, portions were generous, atmosphere is beautiful, and the margaritas were yummy. Joe T's is also simple. They offer maybe five entrees, so menus aren't necessary. And bring cash.
Us with Ron on the patio at the Pourhouse, another one of our old hangouts. We parked it here most of the beautiful evening.
Me next to the newly renovated Frog Fountain, on TCU's campus. A new student center and several dorms have just been completed (behind me). The campus has completely transformed in the short time since I graduated. I think all the changes are good and I am rather impressed! I particularly liked the new fountain, which was never my favorite.
Goodbye, Main. The student center was demolished just a few days before we visited campus. The center housed the Main, which was the main cafeteria on campus. I ate many, many meals there.

My own five things:
1) Happy (belated) Birthday! I've been a crazy woman lately with travel and work and football and completely forgot on Saturday. Blame it on Ramey. He made me work that day. :-)
2) The CCI dinner during the conference was at Joe T's. I forgot how good it is!! All Michael Taylor, Mike Hamilton and I did was eat while we were in Texas.
3) The background of the photo by the fountain looks totally fake. I had to look at it three times before I believed it was real. The UT campus is the same; I barely recognize it anymore.
4) Sorry your Frogs lost to blOw U. I was cherring for them. I fear my Horns will suffer the same fate this weekend. I had tickets to the game but ended up selling them because I have too much to do at work and can't afford to take time off. I'm going to the Missouri game in Austin the following week, though.
5) When are you gonna ditch all the boys and come visit? Miss ya!
I'll take #5 first: I would LOVE to. Maybe this spring. Ken's going on a NYC getaway later this month, so my turn will be coming soon.
On OU, yes, it was sad. I think I still had the text message from you, was it '05, when TCU beat OU. Of course, lost it when I moved to the iPhone.
I'm so sad I missed the conference! I am sure it was fun. Joe T's sounds so yummy.
Thanks for the bday wishes!! I will blame Ramey. How dare he make you work on my birthday!!
Miss you, too. Stop working so hard. You are turning into who I was becoming just a few months ago. So scary ...
