This past weekend was my 5th homecoming/reunion up at Albright. [Holy cow, it's been 5 years already?!] This was certainly a memorable one, and not just because there were a plethora of new babies around, but because of the rare October snow that came to join ruin the party! Well, I shouldn't say ruin, but the turnout was definitely lacking when compared to all the other homecomings I've been to.
We awoke Saturday morning to find the snow flying sideways, but neither my buddy Steve or I thought anything would stick. About 2 hours later we were trudging through slushy sidewalks as we made our way to the luncheon/tailgate that got moved inside the rec center. I had heard there was some rare snow in the forecast, but certainly didn't expect anything to stick, much less stick to the streets!
Despite the snow, and frigid tailgating conditions, it was still a lot of fun to be back up there and to see some friends who I hadn't seen in quite some time. I also made my way into the natatorium to relive some memories from the thousands of hours spent in the pool during my time at Albright. I took a picture on my old starting block and tried to get one of the record board, but unfortunately it's down right now for updates, but my friend informed me that my college roommates and I still hold the pool record for the 200 IM relay. Here's some pictures from the weekend, enjoy!
Driving through the one day blizzard!
The football game.
The water cooler got a little lonely.
The seats weren't quite as filled as normal either!

Waiting for mom to post a comment about that last picture making her tear up....
Such cool pictures, but I'm amazed at the snow!! It looks freezing! Worse than your senior year homecoming pouring cold rain I guess! I want to see you swim!!!
