Thanksgiving was good. Yummy food, time with family, decent weather, etc. Got back late Friday night, then had the playoff game Saturday. The crowd is traditionally way smaller on Thanksgiving weekend, but it's always an awesome crowd. Highlight of the game ( Read more... )

Yay!
Two hour late start this morning!

Boo...
We got beat on Saturday. By a bunch of freakin' CHICKENS. Oh, sorry - Blue Hens. What the hell ever, just look at their mascot - they're chickens, dammit. *grumblegrumbleFoghornLeghorngrumble*

Yay!
I got a laptop for work!

Boo...I can't connect to any of the wireless hubs at the high school ( Read more... )

If anyone has access to Monday's USA Today, there's a picture from the UNI game on the front page of the sports section. Yay, Montari! The consensus is that his hair is what enabled him to hang on to the pass... (Yes, we fell behind with 1:16 left in the game, then passed for a touchdown with seven seconds left.

Which is my excuse for why I never, ever get zeplum's card/gift sent to her in time for her birthday. ;) The only ( Read more... )

Football football football!

Yay, Bears! Yay, Colts! Yay, 5.6" of snow in the last 24 hours ( Read more... )

Despite playing a kick-ass game last night and beating the #6 ranked team quite soundly, we still didn't get a playoff bid today. I'm not surprised, but I'm still disappointed ( Read more... )

How is it already September? Sheesh. The weather has been beautiful, though - it's been years since we've actually had more than a day or two in the 70s. Usually we skip right from sweltering 80s to chilly 60s or vice versa - we've had high 60s/low to mid 70s for about two weeks now. Awesome ( Read more... )
