It's amazing how feelings can fluctuate... new information or body language can change a person's mood from elation to... well... crap. Crap is a good word for it. Not that your old pal CrazyJohn can be so easily manipulated... no no. I totally lied.
At any rate, I promise a whole long rant on Homecoming... including what it's like to be an old person. There is no way I feel better... I'm not sure that's going to happen for a while.
