Alma Mater

Southern Man spent a most pleasant evening at his doctoral alma mater this evening which hosted a banquet for six, count 'em, six retiring professors, almost all of who taught Southern Man at some point in the course of his first pass through grad school and some of whom number among his favorites. The turnout was astonishing; there were probably a couple of hundred there. Southern Man again got to re-connect with old friends, shake hands and reminisce with former professors, and even got to chat with his long-retired dissertation advisor. Those were good times and it's nice to see them all again.
