Last night I drove out to The Salt Lick to meet my parents for dinner. Somehow I got there early despite fighting traffic in rush hour. Anyway, I pulled into the parking lot and was waiting by my car when this couple pulled up in the spot next to me. The lady got out of the passenger's side and bolted over to my side of my car. She asked me, in a noticeably New York accent, "Did you go to Fordham University?" I immediately cracked a smile and proudly said, "Yes ma'am, I did." She had noticed my Fordham sticker on the back of my car and went on to tell me she had one son graduate from Fordham and two more there currently. Whoa. This is rare. I continued a small conversation with them for the next couple of minutes while I waited for my parents. I found out they were down from the Northeast attending a convention in Austin and decided to take the short trip out to try the famous BBQ. 30 miles out of a city that is over a thousand miles from their home, and our university, and we end up parked next to one another. Pretty awesome.
Happy Friday Yall!
