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?)

It's been awhile...
Since my last posting. Just lazy I guess. There's nothing new really going on but that's the whole idea of "Mediocrity in Action" isn't it?
Aug 26. Annual United Way Danfoss Golf outing. The tradition behind this is mainly to get a 1/2 day off work to play golf, drink beer, and do something for the United Way. Been playing in it now for 9 years. The worst (or best) part of it is the last of the nine holes we play. All the hecklers wait around and, well, heckle you as you come in. It's a best ball game but you have to look like a pro to avoid being ridiculed coming in. Doesn't matter how well you play the first 8 (which I did well this year but nobody saw) but you have to look good on the ninth. And this year, I looked like a bag of Poo-poo. Judy won longest drive (in the fairway/women) for the 3 year in a row now. And for the first time they had raffles going on. I actually won the 50/50. $112.50 put in my back pocket. I figure I came out ahead after green fees and beers. Here's our foursome:

Handsome bunch, huh? Well, except for the guys.
Labor Day weekend:
Haven't done a damn thing all weekend. But isn't that what you're supposed to do? Saturday I went and got a haricut, filled the tank up in the VW, bought a case of beer and then sat around the house staring at the wife and cats while drinking the beer. Sunday, slept in, took a nap, raided the fridge for leftovers for dinner, went to bed. Today we might go golf. Then grill out, drink beer, go to bed. When it's all over and done with I think I'll call it a pretty good long weekend.
