- Seems like half of my fraternity did the waiting tables on HHI thing. I always say I wish I had done it, but looking back on when I visited it was probably a good thing I didn't.
- And1 Circuit was pretty much one step above the Globetrotters, the YouTube videos don't hold up at all, but it was still pretty fun when it first became a "thing" and everyone was geeking out over it. Have forgotten a lot of the names but will always remember Hot Sauce and The Professor.
- Heard the drum line practicing for the first time while out in the yard this week, and my heart soared. I don't care if I let myself down at this point.
- Think it's been asked before, but anyone have a legit copycat recipe for Ovid's Spicy Beef Wrap? I still think about that all the time, wish I could still just walk in and get one. Glad I had a lightning fast metabolism in college with the Sigma Chi house being mere steps away.
- I just stick to what I know on investing, but kicking myself pretty hard right now for not buying up as much of my company's stock as I could a few months back. I know the same can be said for a lot of companies right now, but it's pretty much doubled since.
- Have a buddy that's up two stacks over the last few months just using the Keeneland Select handicapper's picks. Seems more efficient than trying to do it yourself, but what do I know?
- Speaking of dangerous stuff we bought growing up, highlight of one of my overnight Scout trips was when we made a stop at the actual U.S. Cavalry store (since acquired by Galls) after poring over that catalog for so long. I can't even believe they actually took us there now, but, man, they had some cool (and incredibly dangerous) stuff.
- I was a terrible Scout and didn't last very long, I wasn't dedicated enough. But passing the exam to get my orange card and being able to fire a shotgun for the first time at Camp McKee was pretty much peak scouting for me. Still remember the first time that thing kicked my shoulder. Ouch.
- Things You Never Knew Existed was another must read catalog. Pretty sure someone in there had hoverboards or crafts of some type figured out decades ago. All you had to do was the buy the plans and build it yourself!
- Daily bike rides to All-American Sports Cards in Stonewall were a requirement growing up on the south side to peruse the card booths and comic book racks. Trips to Tumbleweed were pretty frequent, as well. Having worked in the kitchen there in high school, I'm surprised looking back it was never shut down over a major health code violation.
