Trip to Williams 2003

Hey everyone. I just got back from Williamstown, Massachusetts where I watched the Ephs beat the Amherst Lord Jeffs. Maybe I’m lucky but I’ve never been to a Williams-Amherst game where we lost. 

The weekend was a blast as Heather and I flew to Boston starting last Thursday. We stayed with Noonan and his girlfriend Amy in the quaint little Back Bay area of town and took a driving tour of Cambridge on Friday. We even stopped by her place of employment‘s Cambridge branch and discussed fancy stationary for a while. Of course, lots of memories of the old days driving back and forth across the state came back to me but the all quickly disappeared whenever I looked over to the passenger’s seat. 

When we got to Williamstown, we drove up and down the streets. I pointed out buildings and landmarks. The dorms where my bands played. The places where I lived and the places to avoid. I started talking too fast. I wanted her to know everything that had ever occurred in my time there and I had to stop myself.
