The three-storey semi at 182 카지노게임사이트 Avenue has changed since Peter Chalkley, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션83, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션87, and his former roommates regularly littered its floors with the crumbs of the iconic banana bread supplied by the mother of Mike Gragtmans, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션83.

Its brick has the same pinkish cast that unsettled Mr. Chalkley in 1980, but gone is the long balcony running across the second-floor dartboard gallery that also served as Mr. Gragtsmans카지노 게임 컬렉션 bedroom. The balcony had been the perfect perch from which to gauge the lineup outside Alfie카지노 게임 컬렉션s, the pub in the John Deutsch 카지노게임사이트 Centre just down the street, says Mr. Chalkley.

Gone too is the pictographic record of the colourful university careers of Mr. Chalkley and his third-floor housemate, Mark Parry 카지노 게임 컬렉션 before Mr. Parry카지노 게임 컬렉션s transfer to York 카지노게임사이트. It was scrawled in pencil across one hallway wall and down the staircase to the second floor. In an era before smartphone cameras, the pair would doodle whatever significant moment they wished to preserve, says Mr. Chalkley: 카지노 게임 컬렉션Winning a football game. Going to Alexandria Bay and missing the bus ride home 카지노 게임 컬렉션카지노 게임 컬렉션 along with a few other moments that might have been better left unillustrated.

카지노 게임 컬렉션It was a very Picasso kind of thing: random thoughts of a misspent youth,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Chalkley.

He and his housemates had lucked out with 182 카지노게임사이트 카지노 게임 컬렉션 literally. The home had been part of an Alma Mater Society housing lottery in the spring of 1980 and was won by Laurie Lloyd, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션83. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I knew her, I knew Mark, Mark knew Ian [Friendly, Com카지노 게임 컬렉션83],카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Chalkley. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We weren카지노 게임 컬렉션t a big group of friends; we just came collectively together from different faculties.카지노 게임 컬렉션 The sixth member of their motley band was a one-time Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Journal business manager, Dr. Sarah Borwein, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션83.

Rent for each of them was $50 a month that first year. Mr. Chalkley remembers penning an indignant letter to the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Journal when it went up to $75 the following year.

They pooled resources for groceries and took turns cooking, regardless of culinary skill. Mr. Chalkley recalls how hard it was mashing potatoes for shepherd카지노 게임 컬렉션s pie the first time he made it. He phoned his mom and remembers her advice: 카지노 게임 컬렉션You just boil them first, sweetheart.카지노 게임 컬렉션

If they were lucky, they had Mrs. Gragtmans카지노 게임 컬렉션 banana bread for dessert. It was a regular part of Mike Gragtmans카지노 게임 컬렉션 care packages from home and much prized by the housemates at 182 카지노게임사이트. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Mike would share it, but if you ran afoul of him or pissed him off 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the big line was, 카지노 게임 컬렉션You are banned from my banana bread.카지노 게임 컬렉션카지노 게임 컬렉션

The best thing about 182 카지노게임사이트 was its location, says Mr. Chalkley: practically on campus. It invited school involvement and the housemates responded. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I worked at the bookstore, Laurie worked at the Quiet Pub, Mike worked at Alfie카지노 게임 컬렉션s,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Chalkley. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Sarah was on the rowing team, Ian was AMS president for a year, I was a cheerleader.카지노 게임 컬렉션

In their second year in the house, the housemates enthusiastically took lead roles organizing Frosh Week. 카지노 게임 컬렉션We were just in love with the [Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s] life, you, know?

카지노 게임 컬렉션We were all just so privileged to be there at that time with money and health, wide-eyed and making so many friends, and being part of so many different things,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Mr. Chalkley recalls of his time at 182 카지노게임사이트. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Everything just came together.카지노 게임 컬렉션
