Back at it... Finally!

Sarah and I welcome our 2nd guest to Taiwan tonight. Her sister Meredith will arrive in about an hour and we are READY for her! House is clean, weather is.... ok for now.... but we always love having company!

We have big plans for this weekend. Going to Sun Moon Lake (for more than a 20 minute stop like last time) and through Central Taiwan. Should have lots of pictures to share. And on Sunday we head North to the beaches and coastal town that is supposedly pretty beautiful.

I blinked and all of a sudden it's football season. College football is already hearing useless sports casters that were good players in college but since they never got a degree (despite the full ride scholarship), they go act like they know how to analyze football. I would be more thankful if they could just form complete sentences. They are discussing Heisman Finalists??!?!? Didn't we just start? But Iowa State is off to a 1-0 start which I'll take for now. Our bid to the National Championship BCS game is still alive!! If you think about it, we're already 1/13th of the way there! Only 12 more wins (includes Big 12 title win) and we are in the final game!!

I don't make fun of your dream, so please don't make fun of mine!

And Pro football is finally here. Most of the sports fans can quit acting like they care about baseball (even though I'm still hoping both Boston and NY Yankees miss the playoffs... it could happen!!) and focus on "America's Sport". I was "thrown" into a fantasy football league last second. Looked at my team today and it's not great, not bad. I should have more time next week to look at making some improvements to my team.

Note that I haven't commented on Palin's selection as GOP VP candidate. Figure most of my readers are Republican (I'm not proud of this btw) so I might as well not try to piss off my audience. I'm sure you can guess my view. If you really want to know, send me an email. I think Sarah's tired of hearing my analysis. Lucky for me, she's in agreement.

I still think I would be an excellent political strategist. It's just a game and I can master that game.

Sorry for the few postings this week - it's been extremely busy at work and trying to stay on top of everything at home too. Good news is that Sarah has her ARC card as of this morning - so she's EXTREMELY official now. Plus she can go in and out of the country now. Thanks for all the prayers in getting her to this point!

My cousin Lindsay gets married this weekend. Hope everyone has fun without us, sorry we can't be there! You know I would if I wasn't half way around the world!
