Exit 9

Being back in Cincy is nowhere near as strange and awkward as it should be since it provides a nice balance between old and new. Last night, I got a chance to see Freshmen 15, an all-male a capella group from Northwestern, which was great. They provided quite a concert to the small crowd at the Madisonville Arts Center (MAC) putting their own twists on traditional songs. We hung out after the show, which was great, and celebrated Steve's (Bubbles) 20th birthday.

Today I headed back down 71 to Exit 9 again to visit teachers and the kind at 7 Hills. I was having lunch at Wooster with Duke (AD) and Glen (transportation director-i.e guy who decides on snow day closures), and the snow began to come down. For those of you not familiar with Cincy, when it starts to snow, people panic and act irrational to the max. At lunch, they were getting all sorts of calls from postponing tonight's basketball game @ Lockland (damn, I wanted to see that game) to seeing half of the junior and senior class leave school to keeping the 1:06 fire drill in place despite the snow.

While 7 Hills may have had fewer students today than normal, it was still fun going around and talking to former teachers and the like. Great stories all around and its encouraging to see the place still up and running. While the Internet situation may be Soviet and the food worse than awful, it is still one heck of a school, and today proved that point straight home.
