Boy am I out of touch, on some things

I flew to Santa Barbara today. On the plane from Denver to LA, there were some guys that looked like rock band members. One of them was carrying a guitar case that said "Fall Out Boy" on it. When I mentioned this to Amber Antholz, from the NU Foundation and who I was travelling with, she knew immediately the band name and said they were pretty big stars. Back in the day I listened to my share of current music but apparently not anymore!

I am in Santa Barbara to meet some friends of the college. I always enjoy traveling to meet alums. Their enthusiasm for their experience at UNL reminds me why I became a college professor in the first place - to help students reach their full potential.
