Veteran's Day Wrap

So to make a long explanation short - there's no great excuse for not blogging most of last week. And today we're playing catch up with some random thoughts:

• Sarah enjoyed her first time to Rochester! We had a fun weekend enjoying the fall weather. She loved meeting everyone she could while she was here - I even think she's an honorary Brews Brothers after being part of the LARGEST FAN NIGHT EVER for bowling league. Plus she saw my 405 series Thursday night and a 7-0 shlacking by the Brews Bros!
• We went to the Pompeii exhibit at the Science Museum in St. Paul yesterday. It was a neat showing of some history I hadn't realized. Due to the city being hit by a volcano in the first century, a lot of items were preserved extremely well, including art and even the molds of human beings where you can see their expressions as they were covered in the lava. Pretty cool stuff. The IMAX showing of Greece was pretty nice as well, I need to get one of those theaters for home viewing pleasure!!
• Sarah and I picked up the new Mario/Sonic Olympic game which is a lot of fun! Lots of running and "exercise" for some of the events. There are 20+ events, plus a lot of minigames that I found last night. I still haven't opened up all the events, but it's fun to play with a group of folks. Some events are a little complicated, but after a run through or two, you get the hang of it. I still suck at the archery though. A good "group" game which is what I was looking for!
• More importantly, CYCLONES WIN!!! CYCLONES WIN!!! And a weird win at that. The refs actually helped us with this win! Who hits a 55 yard field goal in Ames???? Luckily it didn't count and a winning streak of 2 is now here for the boys in Cardinal and Gold!!! Keep going!!! Up next is yet another game against a top 5 opponent, but for the first time ever, it's not Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Texas..... Kansas is still undefeated and at #3 - so another chance at an upset for the Clones! It's also the final game of the season, so a last chance at a "respectable" 4-8!
  
• I won again at Fantasy Football yesterday.... I already have the win secured against Krabby with 2 more folks to play tonight.

Haiku of the Day
It's Veterans Day...
I have to work, but some don't
Next week is better

Entertainment of the Day - I watched I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry this past weekend. Sarah found it a good movie to sleep through, I thought it was ok - some very funny parts, but overall just an average movie. The most interesting part was seeing the guest appearances, including Dave Matthews!

Weblink of the Day - Have you heard Richard Cheese yet? He does lounge covers of a bunch of popular songs... like this one, he does Baby Got Back in a style that will make you laugh... I have a bunch of other stuff of his, courtesy Kahnman!
