His room has a spectacular view . . . of the Galleria skyline . . . For the last 12 years of my working career my office was on the 27th floor of one of the Galleria office buildings. It had a south view, so I could see the oak-lined Rice campus and the nearby Texas Medical Center which looks like a small city itself. It was indeed humid this weekend. I even perspired in church. Speaking of which, one of my single church-lady friends works in the administrative area at Rice. I'll have to give her a little grief about her elevators. Was glad to hear you made it thru the weekend okay.

Wow, what a great story. I've got tears in my eyes, just reading it. Good for CW that the school has thought of all these activities to get the kids involved in the school scene. It made me realize one big difference between Tulane, and LSU. I started college at LSU, of course that was back in the 1970's, and I didn't live in a dorm, but it wasn't at all like that, with the activities, I knew people who lived in the dorm and it just didn't happen. But Tulane, where I finally graduated from, does stuff like that for entering freshman. I suspect that Rice and Tulane do it because they are both private schools, and can afford it, and LSU, a public school, can't. Although actually LSU is rolling in dough, and Tulane is strapped all the time. Or maybe it's just something that didn't get started until the 80's?

Such memories this brings back of my arrival at Baylor. In my case, my roommate and I looked everywhere for an elevator up to the fourth floor of the frosh dorm, Penland Hall (otherwise known less than affectionately as "Zoo II"), didn't find one, finally gave up and schlepped all our worldly possessions up four flights of stairs. Steamer trunks, the whole works. And then found the elevators at the ends of the hallways. And they didn't work either. Turns out they all broke down after the first day that the dorms were available for move-in, never to elevate again it seems, at least for a semester or two anyway. penni, my congratulations on the admittedly bittersweet planting of Number One Son at the college of his choice. Rest assured that he is undoubtedly having the time of his life, in spite of the fact that Rice girls are...well...Rice girls. Ahh yes, the Galleria skyline. I spent five years living right near there from about 1985 until 1990. In a one-bedroom apartment, maybe one thousand square feet, that rented for $375 a month. You're lucky if you can rent a downtown parking spot for that here.
