We went to Kalamazoo today (after we finally finished painting the Credit Union, can I get a Woo-Woo??). Central played Western (for those of you not Michigan savvy, that's Western Michigan University and Central Michigan University, MAC team rivals, the latter being Bill's alma mater). Originally we were going to go to the game. Thankfully we did not waste, er, spend the money on tickets. Western beat Central 44-14. Ugh. That's not pretty.
Instead we went and watched Maria play soccer for Kalamazoo College, where she is a Freshman (they won in overtime, beating Albion). Then we went to dinner with Gary (her dad) and Maria. Then Maria gave us a lovely tour of "the zoo", as they call it. It's a lovely, quaint campus. By quaint I don't mean Realtor talk for "small and cramped" but I mean it like storybook talk "pretty and charming". Yes, it is small. But with only 1,800 students, what would one expect? Western is right next door, so you can get the big-campus feel if you need it. Or you can wander around this quiet, pretty campus that is nothing like a zoo.
We had a great time, even if we were in enemy territory. Thankfully no one recognized us as Central fans, so eggs were spared. Now if only I could figure out how to navigate ESPN's website to find other scores...
