But I was hopin' not today

---------------------

We stopped in West Lafayette, IN to inspect Purdue University.  We parked illegally in an "A" sticker parking lot just long enough to take a peek at Mackey Arena, home of Purdue University basketball.

--------------------

Well I look in the mirror...what the hell happened to me?

Whatever I had has gone away

I'm not the young kid that I used to be

So I push the hair back out of my face

That's okay, I knew this would happen

But I was hopin' not today

John Cougar Mellencamp, from his song I'm On My Way.
