Here's another weird one

The award for the fake dog testicles is good and all but the other awards farther down in the article are great. The physics, peace and chemistry awards just ease my mind that people are out there researching these things.

Finally finished another book

It seems like it took forever to finish this book. It was a good book that was somewhat interesting but it was a book that was easy to put down and I did that often. Great content but it must not have come at a good time for me. I don't know. Anyways I finished it. I'd recommend it. But I'm not reading it again any time soon.

Pacers new jerseys

What do you think?

I don't know if I like the neckline.

It's been a week

It's been a week since I posted. Both my home computer and my work computer went down. I've got the home computer working now. So here's a post.

Corey Simon

If you don't know Corey Simon, he's the new Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle. He used to play for the Philadelphia Eagles. Here's some past, present, future pictures that my friend Mattman sent me.

Myles Brand watch

I saw this story last week and didn't have time to comment on it. Many of the colleges and universities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama have had to suspend classes because of Hurricane Katrina. Most of those have cancelled the fall semester. The NCAA is worried about these "student athletes". So in order to allow them to still play, they have decided to let students of those universities compete without being enrolled in classes. But they will not let students transfer and play at other universities without sitting out of sports for a year. So in the best interest of the "student athlete" and to prevent "athletic looting" students may play without taking classes but if they transfer to take classes they can't play. Way to watch out for the students Myles.

Football this week

It was a split weekend for me. Notre Dame lost and crushed my Saturday evening. I lost in the fantasy league that I care more about. The Colts won and Manning had one of his worst games ever. I won in the other fantasy league. I hope things turn around next week and it's all roses again.

Swordfish

Last night I celebrated the unprecedented 2 Monday Night Football games by grilling swordfish. It was my first swordfish. It was ok but it wasn't that spectacular. I think I'd rather have salmon. But trout is still my favorite.

Apples

Today I golfed at St. Ives. A beautiful course that is very very challenging. I got to golf there with my dad and a friend from church. Normally it costs between 85 and 99 dollars, which is a ton up here. It has gotten a 5 star rating from Golf Digest. Here is their website. It has a picture of each hole. If you want to find one I lost a ball on just look at 1-18. http://www.canadianlakes.com/home.asp
We golfed free. I stunk the place up and was frustrated with myself. Not because I scored lousy but because I didn't use the better swing that I've grown into the last few months. I came home very tired. Partly from golfing and partly from staying up late last night cleaning puke out of the church van. When I got home I decided to try an apple from our apple tree. It was delicious. I can't believe I have an apple tree in my yard that has great apples and I'm just now discovering it. I then took a nap. It was nice. I woke up and used the elliptical maching, did some situps and pushups and had a good dinner. I've just finished playing with my fantasy team and plan on going home and having a good evening. It turned out to be a great day and just when I needed one.

Interesting article

Tell me what you think of this article.

Last weekend

This has been a great football weekend. Notre Dame wins at Michigan and thanks to Dan I got to go to the game, I guess I can like him as a brother-in-law even if he does like the Pats. Colts D dominates Baltimore. I won in both my fantasy leagues. Wow.

Great picture

Click on the link for a great picture. I didn't read the article but I loved the picture.

Busyness

This week has been crazy busy. There's not even time for sleep. I'll probably end up getting sick again. Oh well. I'll post more later in the week if things slow down at all.

Hurricane effects on economy

What do you think the long term effects of Hurricane Katrina will be on our national economy?

Puzzle

I know some people like puzzles so here's one. I'll be honest. I stunk the place up. The goal is to find 9 hidden people. I got 7 or 8. I don't remember now because I've seen the solution.

Hurricane

Everytime a major hurricane hits the U.S. I have a strong urge to go and experience it. I wish I was in Louisiana or Mississippi right now. Unfortunately, my wife has just as strong a desire for me to not go and experience it. Someday, I may try and ride one out.

Finished another book

I just finished a book. "A new kind of Christian" It's a very interesting book. I don't agree with everything in it, but surprisingly I agree with some of it. The book is a fiction book that tries to teach a nonfiction idea. The idea is how the church and Christians should function in a postmodern world. I plan on reading it again soon and I'll give you more thoughts on it then. I had to interrupt it for the bronchitis. I didn't feel comfortable reading it with a fever, I tend to be more emotional when I have a fever. This book tends to generate some emotional responses. A pastor up here read it and decided to resign and go start a church in Arkansas.

Hey 98.6 it's good to have you back again

The fever is gone. The cough is not. I went golfing yesterday anyways. Shot a 46. I think it's my best ever. That's with an 8 on the 9th hole. I'll get this game figured out just in time for winter and then forget it all next year.

Bronchitis

I'm recovering from a good old fashioned case of bronchitis. So maybe some day I'll go back to posting more. But read my thoughts on the NCAA and NIT.
