The Blizzard of 2011

We got just a little snow...

Bears/Packers

So for the Bears/Packers game we had a little contest/fun at work. This outfit and the way I decorated my cube won me a $25 gas card. So the Bears lost and the next day at work (after cleaning everything up) there was this...

Black Friday

Well, it's Black Friday which means I survived Thanksgiving without going to the hospital for over-eating. There is NO WAY I'm going out today. Maybe to the grocery store, but definitely not out Xmas shopping. The drivers in this town are nuts! I plan to just sit around, maybe do some laundry and other domestic stuff, cook dinner and go to bed. The wife went up to the Mom-in-laws for the rest of the weekend so I'm on my own now. Probably going to be a lot of beer involved for the next couple of days.

Oh, and check out what I got for an early Xmas present (or Thanksgiving present):

Sure I might look like a 'tard wearing it but I'm a fan. And let's face it, some fans wear weirder stuff than this. For example, those "Hogs" that are Redskins fans that wear dresses.

Sunday in Philly

So, Sunday in Philly was filled with more touristy stuff. Saw the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (didn't take the tour as it's under reconstruction) and the Betsy Ross house. Seems like you can't turn a corner in downtown Philly without finding something historic to stare at.

The Liberty Bell

Independence Hall

Betsy Ross House

I gotta say, Betsy must've been one hell of a lay. She'd been married 3 times!

Then it was off to the game at Lincoln Financial Field where Kris got to see his Eagles play in their home stadium. Although they lost he still had a real good time.

The Philly Trip

Just flew in from Philly and, boy, are my arms tired!

Seriously, We flew out to Philly on 10/2 and returned 10/4. What a hectic weekend! Got there early enough to go downtown and see Rocky and the Rocky Steps.

And, yes, Kris and I actually did run up the stairs. Man, did I ever need a cigarette after that!

More about Sunday later...

It's Football Season!

Finally! Bears vs Lions today. Bears favored by 6.5. Sure there was a Thursday game that opened the season (glad the Vikings lost) but now I actually have something to look forward to on Sundays. GO BEARS!

Cubs 1, Brewers 0

Our company held our annual summer outing this year at the Cubs/Brewers game in Milwaukee. Tailgating beforehand and then the game. Had a lot of fun. My wife thought I had TOO much fun. I beg to differ. Think I only had 4 beers the whole game. And the Cubs won! A little late in the season to come alive tho'. Maybe next year. (Haven't we been saying that for about 103 years now?)
