Back from the Midwest

That's right. I went to the Midwest two weeks ago for what is turning into an annual pilgrimage to see a Marquette game and hang out with friends. Jessica came along with me as we celebrated a 201 and friends X-Mas. Good times were had by all and MU won a game against Providence easily. After Milwaukee we went down to Chicago and stayed with David and Emily and their wiener dog puppies, they're so cute. The rest of the trip was a leisurely drive through along I-80/90 to the Akron OH area, where I have an aunt and Jessica has family. It was a long but fun week.

To anybody I missed on my short trip through Milwaukee, I'll be back in March for the NCAA tourney so let me know and maybe we can meet up then.

I should probably post some of the pictures from the trip to the top of Rainier from a few weeks back plus any pictures I can steal from Jay of the 201 and friends X-Mas. I'll try to do that in the next day or three.

A little notebook is something that I have to look into purchasing because all these great ideas to blog about during the day escape me on my walk home. I do know that Broadstripe Cable sucks and if possible it should be avoided at all costs. The managed to miss an appointment TWICE, screw up and install, and only managed to correct said screw up after a few days and multiple phones calls to tech support by me. Awful.

The Vikings game this weekend took a few days off my life and left me feeling numb inside in a way that hasn't totally gone away yet. Brett Favre - I still haven't made up my mind how I feel but the lack of interceptions during the regular season was a red flag for me. Somehow, someway, he was going to throw a pick when it mattered and SOB, there it went.

Drew hates American Idol, and while I don't really like it, I do enjoy the early rounds when people are delusional and have no idea they're really, really, bad singers. Oblivious people make my laugh.

Blog written and I'm out.

Don't get me started on American Idol! I had no idea you were coming to town, sorry to miss you while you were here. Hopefully when you're back in the spring we can link up!
