Every Friday at 11am Michael and I get together to play racquetball at the rec center at Northwest. Since I'm not a student, I have to pay $3 to play, but it's well worth it. One of my hopes is that it will not only be a good time to get some exercise, but that it will be one more way for me to spend time connecting with students.
Fridays at 11am don't work for everyone, but I was hopeful that today would be different - tomorrow is Homecoming at Northwest, which means today is Walk Out Day. Walk Out Day equals no classes, which I expect is a great thing to students and faculty alike. Since there are no classes to keep people away, today would be a great time to get all kinds of racquetball going on!
So as I'm walking to the rec center, I get a call from Michael - the rec center is closed today. Are you kidding me??? Does anyone else understand the logic of this? It seems to me that on a day when students have no other commitments, they would be MORE likely to use the facility, not less. I wonder what else on campus has been shut down...
It's not just that I've been inconvenienced - although that's certainly a big part of it - but I simply don't see the logic here. I'm not sure that anyone out there will even read this, but I'd be happy to hear any thoughts if you do.

On top of of all that I was being rained on as I was running to both set of doors to make sure it was closed.
