Flashback

Funny how such totally random things trigger such long, seemingly lost memories to come rushing back to the surface. The other night, while Brian and I were discussing the NCAA Basketball Tournament, I had this sudden, almost deja-vu flashback to a debate between Dan Rusy, Jon Savino, and several other members of my class from early high school. They were arguing about Syracuse, St. John's, and Georgetown. I can suddenly remember the look of wild-eyed disbelief and disgust on Jon's face when Dan disagreed with him. It seems to me that the debate was in music class. It also seems to me that we did not spend much time learning about music in that class. Alas, there were no winners in that debate... everyone shouted his case, shouted down his opponent, and left feeling more secure in his support of whichever team he had previously been supporting... hmmm... sounds a lot like Congress today.
