Abilene High beat Southlake Carroll 22-21 last Saturday. I don't know if I am more excited that Abilene High won or that Southlake lost.
Through my 4 years of undergraduate studies in Abilene, I couldn't wait to get out of that city. Yet, after 3 years of graduate work, I never wanted to leave. What happened? Well, let me see:
Things I don't miss about Abilene:
-29 degrees with a 29 mph wind
-Loved it when it would rain, but the meteorologists would come on every time basically having to describe what rain is. They interrupted some of my sporting events.
-The flat land.
-City with no Pappasitos/Pappadeaux
-Road construction on the south loop
-Dirt!
Things I terribly miss about Abilene:
-The people.
-NO TRAFFIC!!!
-Highland Church
-The ACU community
-Flag Football
-Los Arcos and Abuelos
-My mentors and good friends (Mike Cope, David Wray, Jack Reese, Randy Harris, Chainsaw Charlie Siburt, and Steve Hare)

You left out Harold's! How dare you? And I miss that in the El Chico's at the mall, they gave you soapapilla's. (Okay, when we lived there they did...a bijillion years ago)
Miss many friends there too.
I don't miss living in the duplexes across from campus. With two babies at the time...it was not quiet enough.

Seriously...no Harolds??? I'm very, VERY concerned.
The list about what I miss in Abilene would be too long. But it all boils down to people and food! And, truth be known, I sometimes like to drive over to Sam Thomas Elementary when I am in town and just sit in the parking lot for a while.
Please, forgive me. I have sinned against heaven and against many of you. I failed to mention Harold's. Please don't tell Harold!
not sure...this one might be unforgiveable. Just sayin.
The GREATEST thing about Abilene was ..... I WAS IN SEARCY! Ha!
I only visited Abilene once and was not impressed with the city. I think that if you are in school there, you become involved with the people in the city which will make a difference.
What I miss... Harolds, La Popalar, Chapel, the people, Sing Song, Joe Allen's steaks, Cahoots catfish, the ACU bubble, Hamby Church, 9 o'clock...

I am more of a Joe Allen's/Lytle Land and Cattle kind than a Harolds, but I do greatly miss all the BBQ.
Also I miss:
Waterball
Jeff Berry leading worship on Tuesday nights (and Steven, Billy Bob, Frush too)
thats really it. And I guess friends/family.
I miss WIlhair Park. That's where Beverly and I would go and . . . study.
Hickory Street- come on Josh!!!
I second ole Chainsaw. That must really be his name - we use it all the time, and now I'm reading it over here on a blog of someone I've never met. :)
