Lynchburg

I was on the road in plenty of time to make it to Lynchburg by the time my friends were off work. I decided to make an impromptu stop in Charlottesville. Being a Virginia Tech grad it is a town that is hard to stop in, but I wanted to say a last goodbye to the CGI Federal college recruiting team who were in town for an engineering career fair. We met at a place right on a corner down town next to the university. Had a couple of beers and reminisced on past recruiting trips. I had done a few while I was at CGI. I left with a bag of CGI swag, they had recently changed the style of the logo after the Logica acquisition (its not the CGI I knew anymore HA, it's only been a week).

In Lynchburg I was staying with a friend I played golf with in college and Christopher Newport University. He had recently gone through a tough time and was getting back on his feet. I was very glad to see that he was doing so well in Lynchburg. Hate to see friends go through tough times. He has an awesome roommate true southern kindness type. A great person to be around. This was the same group that I did Vegas with in October. We kicked right back off where we left off. 

Thursday night was wing night at Bdubs. We were off to eat wings. Golf was on the agenda for the morning so we were not planning to stay out real late, but of course we did;).

I was a little hesitant about golfing in February, but it turned out to be such a beautiful day we played 30 holes! haha and if it weren't for the light issue we would have played more. I started birdie eagle, but quickly crumbled from there. Ended up shooting 80 and loosing money...dinner was on me. Hit some good shots though, enjoyed the day and only lost one ball (pretty good for me, half my golf game is just trying to keep it on the map). Wow am I excited to get to the southern hemisphere and play again!

We went to a place called The Neighbors Place that night, struggled through a couple of beers, listened to a really good live Jazz band and called it a night. Sleep is going to be precious for me (couch surfer) for the next few weeks so I had no problem calling it an early night.

Today, I am caught up! I have had to spend a lot of time on this blog to catch up, but I am finally there. I am going to be late to my next stop Athens, GA, but I needed to get this out. Photos to come.

Bfast/lunch was had at the T Room in Lynchburg with my buddies. Now south to Athens, UGA!!!
