Friday, I headed into Wichita, Kansas and it was around lunch time, by the time I found Darren’s and James new place. I grabbed some lunch with them, it was really good to see the old gang again. After lunch I drove to this really nice Kansas hotel I found at this site: http://www.hotelskansas.net. and checked in. It was really cool, I’ll I had to do was show them my confirmation print-out and I was all set.
Later, in the evening, I headed to a local coffee shop where Darren was playing some music. That night, the coffee shop had different musicians play; Darren told me they do this once a month and he’s a regular player. It was great to hear him play guitar, I was surprised to see how good he was, he’s very talented. After that, we hooked up with James and looked over his gun collection, and played the game Settlers.
The next morning, I picked up Darren and we went to church at Whitestone. While there, I bumped into that guy who hires engineers at Excel. He asked me for my resume’, but I didn’t have it on me, so I’ll email it to him. I’m not really sure if I want to work at Excel, but it won’t hurt to keep in contact with this guy. I haven’t been to a Mennonite church service in years; I’d forgotten what they are like. I like some aspects of the service and then again, the rest is pretty boring. After church, Darren and I went out for some lunch and had pizza. By this time is was time for me to be heading on out to see other college buddies, but before I did, I made Darren come with me to Drubers, for old times sake. Drubers is the best little doughnut shop. I’m sure I’ll regret eating pizza and then a greasy, sweet pastry on top of that, but I young, I’m going to take full advantage of being able to burn off calories easily.
