Buddies, Blizzards and Buckeye Fever

When Will got home from his visit with Dr. Edgely, he was greeted by Claudia Peterson, the mother of Bryce Peterson, one of his Bountiful buddies now attending Ohio State medical school. Claudia had been to the Iceburg and brought with her two giant milk shakes for Will to choose from, one chocolate chip and one mint chocolate chip. Decisions, decisions!!! He sat there debating which to go for and finally decided to wait until he was watching the BYU basketball game later in the day. They talked about Buckeye fever and the fact that the whole town of Columbus, Ohio shuts down on game days, even the store clerks won’t wait on you because they’re all clustered around the television sets at the back of the store. She also commented on all the cute girls in the Singles Ward and how lucky Will was to get acquainted with all of these outstanding young women. She thought he had shown great restraint in not tying the knot with one of them already. He had also shown perfect timing in getting out of Columbus before the big snow storms hit. Will acknowledged that Columbians don’t have a clue about handling snow, so it is good to be as far away as possible when they get a blizzard.
