I love ND

Reason 32345 why I love Notre Dame: I am walking down Corso Vittorio Emmanuele after working out, in my ND gym shorts, just breezily walking along, when through my allegedly sound-blocking headphones I hear a loud "GO IRISH!". I turn around, and I had blown by a family of about six or seven, and nearly all of them are wearing some form of ND gear.

We proceed to have a 15 minute conversation. This is totally normal; when you have ND in common, it is really easy to have a long conversation with a group of complete strangers. In Rome. I would say it it's weird, but at this point I have gotten used to it.

It was some family just on a family vacation. Their kid was an ND transfer, came into Dillon, transferred into Knott (not. cool.), graduated last year. Of course, they seemed like charming, nice people.

Anyways, I just wanted to blog that, because stuff like that happens more often than one would think, and I might forget it. I'm off to go watch Michigan play Ohio State. Go Blue, send Lloyd out with a win. Of course, Lloyd, Mike Hart, and Chad Henne are the last remaining things from my old intense fandom with UM... it'll be odd seeing them go.
