A Homey from Back in the Day
Tim and his girlfriend Patty came to Chattanooga this weekend. Melissa and I took them on the obligatory Sweet Basil/Clumpie's/Walnut Street Bridge/Art District tour while catching up on old times. We also caught a few notes of Riverbend at the UnumProvident stage.
Tim and Melissa and I went to high school together in Madison, Connecticut. Tim and I graduated in 1992. (Melissa graduated the year after.) While we've managed to stay in touch over the years, Tim and I hadn't seen each other since the fall of 1995 when we went to see Phish at the New Haven Coliseum during one of his breaks from the Air Force.
Tim and I were quite odd while in high school. For example: One Friday night, for no reason, the two of us (and our friend Mike) drove from my house in Madison to the Vince Lombardi rest stop in New Jersey -- some two-plus hours away. We ate some burgers and drove home. I still don't know why we went.
We also spent a few days in NYC during Spring Break one year, spending a night at a comedy club and an afternoon at the Museum of Broadcasting, which features free access to virtually every TV show and commercial ever aired.
Also amongst our stops while walking around the city was the World Trade Center. I think we used the bathroom before leaving after deciding an elevator ride to the observation deck was just too expensive. We eventually took the train home from Grand Central.
Good times.
Patty was nice and we had fun evening. Hopefully it won't be another 11 years before we see each other again.
