So I’ve been sitting here at my desk all morning, humming the damn “I wanna go back to Ohio State” song. It motivated me to look it up online (so that I could hear it for real, not just in my head). Here’s what I found… note that the song actually originated from MICHIGAN! GASP!

More proof that the world gets smaller every day. I had drinks last night with some members of the OU Alumni chapter out here in DC; joining us were a couple folks who played on our softball team but didn’t hail from A-town. I was chatting with the roommate of one of the non-Ohioans, and when he found out I was from Mansfield, he said he knew someone from Willard. Apparently, this fella is pals with Sean Swarner. Though I didn’t know Sean personally, I definitely knew his name–he and his brother were kick-ass swimmers back in the day. Anyway, read his story; Sean was the first cancer survivor to reach the summit of Everest. Pretty inspirational.
