Oh, Ohio!
By First things first, the LGM Columbus Gathering on Friday night went fabulously well; an LGM fan showed up (“Are you Farley? You look a lot older than in your videos”), and considerable beer was consumed at a variety of Columbus locales, including the Elevator and the Columbus Brewing Company.
On Saturday djw and I moved on to Hocking Hills Park, Old Man’s Cave area, where we hiked about seven miles. Following this, we hit Athens, where we visited Little Fish and Jackie Os before finishing the evening (and the Oregon-Washington game) at the West End Cider House. While still at Jackie Os we caught the second half of the Michigan-Michigan State game, in the company of a lovely couple who divided their allegiances between the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio Bobcats. As soon as Michigan got the ball back in the final minutes, they got up to leave; I said “Michigan State can still get the ball back; you should stay and watch the end. You don’t want to show up at home and learn that MSU’s won 28-23, do you?”
I was trying to be helpful. I should never try to be helpful.
