I moved to the shore and for a while I felt weird when it was Tuesday night and I wasn't out shooting pool in the league, and when Wednesday night rolled around, and there was no mug night, let alone Friday's Happy Hour at Jim's Tavern.

After almost 2 years, two surgeries and extensive physical therapy, I am now going to NCC as an Education major and plan to become a teacher, which as a child is what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I have reconnected with some old friends and we even go to the Hilltop for Happy Hour on an occasional Friday. Maybe I'll see an old friend there...
