Weekend Observations

The first weekend of my vacation had me visiting my college roommate in Normal, Illinois.  A few fun facts and a few observations:

• In Normal, a wrong turn leaves you smack dab in the middle of a corn field (and dealing with “Children of the Corn,” “Signs,” and “Field of Dreams” flashbacks);
• The Beer Nuts factory is not open on Saturdays;
• Illinois State University used to be a teachers’ college, with The Fighting Teachers as its mascot.  I want a retro t-shirt with that on it; and
• When you wake up really late on a Sunday morning, it is completely appropriate for a not even three-year-old to mock you with a bright “Good Morning.”  You just have to laugh when she looks like this.
