DeSales and Fairleigh Dickinson - Great Places to Eat

My grandson is a freshman basketball player at DeSales. Last night the team played and beat Fairleigh Dickinson in Madison,NJ, in their first conference game. DeSales is 4-4 overall. Because of my time on the road last night, I have little to tell you today. But I thought I'd fill you in on my pre-game routine.

I get there early. Then I eat dinner at the cafeteria. I have a close friend who goes to hospitals or bars offering free happy hours so he can get off cheap. He does not know about college food. I have to tell you the food is both outstanding and cheap. I've feasted on paella, shrimp lo mein and grilled steak. If you're a calorie counter, the selections list the calories.

I walk to the eating hole from the rec center. At DeSales, it's pretty close. At Fairleigh Dickinson, it's a hike. At Salisbury U, I got lost.

At Fairleigh Dickinson, it's all-you-can eat. Last night, I could have shut the place down.

In my wandering, I came across the statue you see above. it kinda' looks like me, although I'm a bit more muscular. Anyway, do any of you know what this statue is? I'm trying to find out. I know Ulysses was an archer and my guess would be him.

    I think it’s Wilt Chamberlain

    I think you might be right: it looks like Odysseus/Ulysses when he return to Ithaca and encountered the suitors of Penelope. I'll ask a Fairleigh Dickinson alumnus whom I know and get back to you.

    Bernie, according to my source, it is "Sculpture of Ulysses” by Ivan Mestrovic.

    You're seeing much better than Polyphemus, I must say.
