Parick McGoohan in The Prisoner

After taking my eldest daughter to attend Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, last week, me and the rest of my family feel very fortunate. Fortunate yes, but, Irene worked very hard to get into a good college and she has succeeded marvelously. We had never heard of Kenyon before her cousin was accepted there a couple of years ago.

Kenyon is intertwined with Gambier, a little village that seems to exist in the center of the college. I joked that it reminded me of “The Village” in the British TV series The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan. While we were there we bought a dozen ears of corn and a hand-made quilt from some Amish families that had brought some buggy loads of goods to sell.

Kenyon is part Hogwarts, part Harvard. Seriously. It’s old, and very cool. I feel some pangs of regret that I didn’t get to experience life at a college like this right out of high school. But, our kids seem to be getting ahead faster and better than their parents did, and isn’t that what it’s all about?

And just for Ms  Laycock, here is a picture of a Gargoyle on Mather Hall.

I am switching the mapping of the site name back to mistermcintoshsays.org. The site might not be accesible for awhile. Hopefully, by Monday it will have properly resolved.
