Eli-
I remember that you bought me salt and margarita mix for my 21st birthday.
I don't know if you remember me, but I stumbled across this blog, and said, hey, that's Eli from Gaia House.
It's hard to believe freshmen year was thirteen years ago. Remember Medieval Studies? And inner-tube water polo?
