Walex's Triumphant Return to the Lou

Alex:
Nobody ever said this blog was going to proceed in chronological order, did they?  No?  Good!

So, in October, I traveled back to STL for the first time since moving to ROC.  This was a business trip that I scheduled to extend through a weekend so I could have time to visit all the friends and family back in the Lou.  I arrived on a Wednesday afternoon and went straight to the office, and left right after work on Monday.  So what was I able to do with roughly 5 days and 3.5 work days?

Well, I mentioned I arrived Wednesday?  Of course that was strategically planned for Trivia at Tigin!  We've missed the awesomeness that is Tigin food and Pub Quiz.  We did pretty well that night, and caught some Cardinals playoffs while we were there.  We had a good turnout with L1, Ted, April, Chris & Abby, Val & Ken, Jeff & Kenny (see what I did there?  ha!), and Juicer.  Thanks to all for coming out!

For the weekend, Ted was able to get tickets for a few of us to go to the 100th anniversary homecoming at Mizzou.  We started by meeting some peeps at Harpos and having a few Hammers, then grabbing some Chipotle and walking to the stadium.






















It was an easy win, and a beautiful day.  I even got a little sunburned.






After heading back to STL, I had to crash in Wentzville.  I had stayed the night over at the Dierks place on Friday, and had to grab some rest after the long day!  Thanks guys for having me over and spending the night.

Yum!

I also want to thank Chris and Abby for letting me stay at their place for most of the nights.  It was good to see everyone again.

When I got home I had a surprise for Foof:  a Harpos cup and some delicious Pi pizza!  I had a lot of fun in STL, but it was nice to be home with my foof too.
