61 going on 19...

Pops and I had the privilege of witnessing the Gophers take down the No. 24 Hawkeyes. The game was a grand experience, especially for our first visit to the new TCF Bank Stadium. As the game ended, there was a "rushing of the field." We joined the festivities.

Not only did we get to rush the field, but we gave players high-fives AND we got to pat Floyd of Rosedale as players hoisted it up!

Best of all, I got to see my Dad turn into a 19-year-old. He had the time of his life and it was great to witness. The picture kind of captures the moment. Look at that grin. I wish I could bottle up the experience and give it to him for Christmas.

save turkeys, eat tofu...

I've never heard about turkey adoption before. I'm glad there's people like this. So are they saying that a turkey's life is worth $30... really?

'tis the thankful season...

Well done Thanksgiving video... and there's a great shout out to Macaroni and Cheese.

I'm grateful for the periodic feeling of success and a good song on the radio at the same time. I'm grateful for learning. I'm grateful for friends and family. I'm grateful for faith in Christ.

What are YOU grateful for?

where is funkytown?

I learned that Funkytown is a product of Minneapolis... I'm going to keep an eye out for it. I'll let you know when I find it. That claim to fame is right up there with Lee Greenwood's shout-out, "from the lakes of Minnesota." Or maybe not...

Also, a little unknown/useless fact... did you know the brand Enyce (not to be confused with 4-Slyce), is pronounced "en-ne-che." It was part of my costume for halloween, I learned the the hard way, pronouncing it like "e-nice." Silly me, Trix are for kids.
