The drive to Diana's house in St. Joseph, MI was full of catching up on the past 10 years that have gone by since we were in the Marine Corps together. It was good to find out she is doing well and has moved on from the Marines to Portland, OR for her undergrad, all the traveling she has done and the experiences she has had, to now living in MI and attending Notre Dame for her MBA. Congratulations on a job well done!

As we talk about her school, our lives and future, it is decided we need to go to the Notre Dame vs. Michigan State game. We did.

What an incredible game and what an incredible campus. I can't imagine what it must be like for an 18 year old kid to have Notre Dame as their first experience after high school; maybe something like going to Marine Corps bootcamp for your first experience? Hmmm.

The game was fantastic. Notre Dame wins by a score of 33 - 30. It appears that I tend to bring a lot of luck to the teams in the hometowns that I visit. The Twins won their game while I was in Minneapolis, remember?

Note: The Twins won the World Series in 1991 after I went to one of their home games after the Gulf War...interesting, huh?
