Pete's Log: Mamie!

Entry #1370, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 26 years old.)

Mamie moved to Pittsburgh a week and a half ago to start classes at Chatham College. So last Friday I hit the road after work to go visit her. She's now about four hours away. I arrived shortly after 10 that evening and found her sparse apartment. She'd been sleeping in a sleeping bag on a hardwood floor, since she flew out to Pittsburgh with only as much as the airline would let her carry. That night I gave her hardwood floor a try, and it was not comfortable. So Saturday I drove her to IKEA and loaded her up with cheap Swedish-designed furniture. Now she's living in high style. Or at least she's sleeping on a mattress. I also took her to Target so she could buy some other essentials. And we had lunch at Steak 'n Shake, which is always exciting. A trip into the Midwest (and yes, I'm now East-coast enough to consider Pittsburgh the Midwest) must always include Steak 'n Shake.

So yeah. I'm sure I'll be visiting Mamie plenty more while she's there.

Charlie Weis will be coming to ND with four Super Bowl rings, which I'm sure is a good thing.
