Last weekend: Hometown friend and transplanted Texan comes to town for a wedding in Walworth County, WI featuring a Neil Young cover band. The groom made a subtle comment about his new wife's pregnancy. It was taken as a joke by most of the attendees. That was fun.
This weekend: College friend and soon-to-be Texan comes to town to visit for the sake of visiting. Upon passing a group of Navy cadets on the street, I asked if he could stop them dead in the tracks and start yelling at them. He said he wasn't the kind of naval officer to do that to people. He did offer up a story about meeting a guy in Maine who claimed to be a former marine officer. The gentleman proceeded to challenge multiple members of my friend's group to a fight...over and over again. That was a funny story.
There's a wedding in two weeks that will feature more people from the hometown. It's reunion month!
