Well, not as an alumnus, anyhow.

I can imagine the Faulconer’s (although I’ve never met them) agreeing to meet you for lunch (?) at 12:30 a.m., but I cannot imagine a restaurant being open in Provo at that hour.

Obviously this whole thing is fiction.

It’s disheartening to me to see monstrosities like Provo Town Center and whatever that place is up on Canyon Road turn the area into just another location for all of the national chains.

Does anyone else remember fried pickles at Friar Tucks?

Especially if you want to keep on being the “cool uncle”.

Sounds like it was a good trip, mostly about people, not places or things.

That’s a good description. If I were doing places/things, there are plenty of better vacation ideas out there. The closest I came to “things” was rooting through the bookstore.

I think seven years is about right, though :)

oh, and p.s., if anyone wants high-res versions of the images, I can email them.
