Alison's last college class was yesterday. Ali is the third Pryor to graduate college, ever. I'm listening to her DJ & spin Glenn Tilbrook and the Kinks "Good Day" on her last radio show at Dickinson College. Got me thinking, Hunter College feels like yesterday to me, well, here's my Hunter ID. My yesterday & today.

Good Day (written by Ray Davies)
The sky is blue but there are clouds in my head,
With big decisions looming ahead.
The sun is out but the room is so grey,
The headlines said that Diana is dead.
She couldnt act much but she put on a show.
She always smiled even when she felt low.
I used to fancy her a long time ago.
So today has got to be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day.
Its no surprise that Im singing the blues.
So many holes in my life still to mend,
And someone just said that the worlds gonna end.
So today better be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Today has got to be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day, good day.
If we blow away the past with a bloody great blast,
Make it fast, make it fast.
So have a good day today because it could be your last,
Make it last, make it last.
Will it light up the sky?
Will it blot out the sun?
Well we've waited this long,
So it better be a good one.
Good day, good day, good day.
Yeah, its gonna be a good day.Hey baby,
if you come back home itll be a good day today.
They could drop a small atom bomb on the city today,
But if you walk through that door honey,
you know itll be a good day.
And now survival is my only aim.
I call friends and see if any remain.
Who was that girl who used to be my flame?
Id call her if I could remember her name.
So today is gonna be a good day,
Today has got to be a good day,
Today is gonna be a good day,
Good day, good day, good day, good day.
Hey Diana, Ive really got to learn to take a tip from you,
Put on my makeup and try to make the world take notice of you.
Yeah, its gonna be good day today.

When did you get out (as we put it) of Hunter? Are you involved there at all?
I just happened upon your blog and it brings me back to my days in Yorkville
(84th St 1971-1975, 92 St 1975-1989). But I'm still wrapped up with Hunter as current president of the Alumni Association.
