Back in Champaign-Urbana

I’m back in Champaign-Urbana this weekend, for Xiaobin’s graduation. It’s great to see the Sims, and to meet Xiaobin’s aunt and cousin, who came for the graduation.
Champaign-Urbana seems about the same, and surprisingly comfortable and familiar. Same fights about the “Chief,” same sporting events (Uni High 5K, now merged with the “Twin City Twosome”, the News-Gazette Honor Roll track competition, etc.). I moved to the rhythms of this community for more than 14 years, have many dear friends here, ran around and through nearly every neighborhood in the town, and brought up my daughter in this community, so I guess it’s not surprising that there’s an ineradicable bond.

It is a big surprise to me that the “Chief” issue has not
been settled. Chung-Hui and I talked about it last week.
We both thought the tension should be resolved long time
ago.
