What a beautiful day! Otterbein had Homecoming today and I was drafted into service as an event photographer by the Office of Alumni Relations. Since my first assignment of the day was the Fun Run for St. Jude's at 8 am at the campus center; Andrew decided to go with me and participate in the fun run. He placed 4th -I think there were around 40 participants. Not bad for someone who hasn't run 3 miles competitively since high school. Anyway around 9:30 Andrew went home to work on the lawn mower and I hoofed it down Main Street to my next assignment-the gathering of parade participants. Luckily I was able to get a ride back uptown to catch the parade in time from my friend and co-worker Amy (the painter), whose son Adam and his dog Zen were walking the route. There was a huge crowd for the parade and it was all very colorful and festive. I drove home after that and got Andrew and Daisy and we went back for the big Alumni lunch which was yummy. There were lots of other dogs there and Daisy was right in her element wearing her Otterbein bandana and having many people around to lavish love and attention on her. After lunch we went home and about 2 hours later I went back once again to cover the football game and coronation of the Homecoming King and Queen. Two students from our department were nominated for King and Queen and I was excited and anxious to find out if they would be the ones crowed. They weren't but they came in as runners up so it was still a victory as far as I'm concerned. I home now, exhausted and going through 600 + photographs and looking forward to watching the British comedies and having a hot bowl of soup.
