An architectural detail on the Administration building at Texas Tech. Although I’ve been on campus a lot of times (except for those two semesters when I was enrolled but sort of…wasn’t there…all that much) I never noticed these details.

Maybe the message here is GO TO CLASS WHEN YOU’RE A FRESHMAN. (I feel obligated to add that, since my granddaughter will shortly be a college freshman.)

But really, I think I turned out OK anyway, and I feel like up to maybe three* of my friends who agree that skipping classes that awful year didn’t really hold me back that much in life.

*Maybe four. But probably three is a more solid estimate.
