Last week I spent some time on the campus of the University of Missouri in Columbia (Mizzou) where I did my undergrad. It was a beautiful early fall day, with sunshine, blue skies and moderate temperatures.
Students were sitting outside enjoying the weather, particularly on Francis Quadrangle, site of the iconic columns. These six columns are all that are left of the administration building that burned in the late 1800s. The original marker from Thomas Jefferson's grave also can be found on the Quad.
As I watched the "kids" enjoying the day, I couldn't help but think about my own school days and how it doesn't seem like it's been more than 20 years since I was in their shoes.
If you've never been to Columbia, it's a great town, full of surprises, including a culinary scene that has to be sampled to be believed.
