By this point in my life I have realized that life itself is just a series of lessons.
Some lessons are cheaper and others are more costly.
It seems to me however, that all of them have been expensive, digging deep into my shallow pockets, robbing me of my hard earned money for a higher education, or at least anything other than a donation to the state department of transportation. Sometimes I just have to learn by trial and error. So to this chapter of my life I've recently added another lesson. I was just trying to fulfill my responsiblities as an Iowegian when I went to support the University of Iowa Hawkeyes in their season opener against Kansas State University at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City Aug. 26. Now I am not writing a column to talk about the game, because I really don't think I would get very far in saying that the Hawkeyes faired better than many anticipated.
