Blast from the Past

A college friend came to visit Tuesday night. His parents recently moved to Atlanta, so while he was visiting them, he scooted on over to Athens to see us. We haven't seen him in about three years, when he showed up at our apartment in Lexington and said the quickest goodbye I have ever heard. Before we knew it, he was out the door and on his way out of town. We were sad.

Bob Kamm is his name. People at Asbury used to say that Bob was Xon's son, because they look alike, and they always thought Xon looked older than what he was--especially with his beard. Bob is the only person who can rival Xon's lightening fast speech pattern and dramatic storytelling.

Xon and Bob drove around Athens while I finished up work, and then we ate at Wild Wing, one of my favorite restaurants. We talked about tv shows and movies and where we want to end up in life. Bob took us back to our car, and then he was gone. Again.

We hope to see him again at Christmas when he's in Atlanta. And his sister will be at UGA next year, so Xon is hoping she'll take one of his classes.

Here are some pictures of the fellas. You can see they're involved in a very serious debate in one. ;-)
