There's nothing quite like returning to your old stomping grounds to trigger a flood of memories. ( If you don't relate to that, you're not old enough yet.)
It was great to meet you and your family last night, and we enjoyed your talk. Even better was to see Ryan and come away with a better appreciation of both of you. Enjoy the remainder of your time in Oxford.

I am old enough to experience that memory "flood" and in some situations, those memories are painful.
There are good reasons for painful memories of times past.
Serious value system conflicts with mainstream tendencies and...
rank stupidity the common denominator.
Mean spirited people were rewarded.
At that time was anything but a supporter of anything military, for all
the right reasons. The forever wars were not about defending the homeland.
Cigarette smoking and alcohol were drugs of choice.
Discussions were not facilitated. Education was regurgitation. etc etc
Ahhaaa! To revisit the places where a lot of bad decisions were made in college, and realize that you ended up right where you needed to be! ❤️
