Happy Birthday Stevo! Kapusta accomplished last night; the Richardsons came over for a birthday dinner of all Stevo's favorites, including kapusta, sausage, roasted chicken, brussels sprouts, baked potatos and banana cream pie. Oscar was a little concerned that there was no birthday cake.
Happy birthday, Eli! Great picture. You look tough.
I went to a polish buffet resturant last night in honor of your birthday, Steve. It's unoffical name is the "Red Apple" but its offical name is "Czerwone Jabluszko" - not sure if that means "Red Apple" in Polish. It was DELICOUS (but I was little disappointed becuse they onely had two kinds of perogies and they were all out of one of them when I was going through the line.
On another note - I bought a new pair of prescription glasses from this website:
http://glassesunlimited.com/
I spent a grand total of (drum roll) ...... $12 (including shipping).
Obviously you can't try them on beforehand, but if you want a pair of glasses you don't have to worry about then I recommend them.
(Actually the Polish buffet cost me more since that was $15)
Eli got an xbox game (a disc - not the base unit) and some clothes for his birthday. We told him he could go out to eat anywhere he choose to. He said he didn't want to go anywhere so it was frozen pizza, chocolate cake and butter finger ice cream. Coke in vintage long neck bottles to drink. The kids were amazed that this was how pop was bottled when I was a kid. I just hope they don't start asking about the "olden days" anytime soon.
Eli has struck up a friendship with a girl who tells him he needs to study more. It appears he has good taste in this department.
Sounds like a great birthday. And a wise girl. Jude has struck up a freindship with a girl named Francesca. She is tiny and knows how to play girl games like puppies and kittens and boy games like Star Wars. Two weeks ago Jude talked all the time about his secret girlfriend, Avery. Now he's all about Francesca.
The white album on cd. socks (I'm not kidding. I love socks). A lightweight black cardigan. A lightweight cream cardigan. A very thin, square-ended metal spatula (harder to find than you might think) Only one of the above, of course. Or something goofy.
We took the afternoon off for Stevo's birthday yesterday and took a hike through the loess hills, coming back at dusk and listening to an owl hunting (heard a little shreik and then the owl started hooting over and over so I don't know if someone got caught or if someone got away.) I love the loess hills. The trees peaked a week or two ago, but the prairie grasses were in full color, tapestries of green, gold, orange and red. Then home to leftovers from birthday dinner in front of the fireplace. Nice day.
Happy birthday Eli (a day late), hope you had a great one, I sure did.
Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. Really did have a great one. I think Cathy covered it all and it was one of the best. Cathy forgot to mention that the banana cream pie was home-made by her as well as well as a home-made apple pie and all the other delicious food. Everything tasted even better the next night as we dined by the fireplace after a long refreshing hike at the Hitchcock nature center.
Ed, the Polish resturant sounds great. We'll have to go there with you next time we're in Chicago.
Thanks again to everyone and hope to see you all soon around Thanksgiving time.
I would enjoy the same things as my mother, except no black cardigan and spatula. In their place I would appreciate a silicone basting/baking brush or light-colored cooking sheet. Or something goofy.
Caroline and I have been going to baby rhyme time at the library. It's pretty awesome, because this library happens to be in the mall that I like, so we go shopping after. Anyway, I enjoy hearing the "oh my"s every week after we introduce ourselves and say how old she is. At 3.5 months, she's bigger than the next two youngest babies, who are 5 and 6 months. Today she actually recognized (I think!) the books that were read because we have them at home.
I'm watching the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater playing UW-River Falls on FSN North. They're called the "Warlocks" which is pretty cool. Wonder why I'm not watching Boise State.
Brianne and I will be at the tailgate, but I'll have to leave to go to work at 2, so I can't go to the actual game. If anybody needs a place to stay Friday or Saturday, you're welcome at our house.
So you have a new team, you're a school, you're trying to think of a team name and you end up with "Warhawks?" Really? What were the other options?
What's your favorite team name? Mine is the Ichabods, followed closely by the Bunnies. I backed the Horned Toads once everyone I had any reason to back was out of the College World Series.
In LA there was a school that my school played. The school was Manual Arts and they were the Toilers.
This weather really sucks - I mean blows. It blew our back fence down. We knew it wasn't totally stable, but we were hoping it could get by for a couple years. I guess we're lucky it didn't fall on anyone.
I was right. The Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes.
I don't like it when teams call themselves less tangible enitities such as the "Heat", or the "Jazz". I guess the "Crimson Tide" was ahead of it's time in this regard.
Stick with fearsome animal or human characters.
If I got to pick a mascot I would go with "Golden War Eagles riding on top of Rabid Wolves riding on top of Famished Grizzlies." How fearsome is that?
She is urging people to support Senate bill S-3036, which establishes a National Alzheimers Project office within the Department of Health and Human Services with a director tasked with overseeing a big national project to support and coordinate Alzheimers research to find more effective treatment or cure by 2020. Senator Tom Harkin is the head of the Senate Committee to which this bill was referred after being introduced in February. I bet as few as 14 inquiries about the status or progress of the bill would get his attention.
Cool name would be Berserkers i like Orabs just cause it's not Bulldogs or something.
Agree with Tom on dislike of non-tangible concepts rather than fearsome animals. for example, the "Fort Wayne Fever" would be stupid. The "Fevered Few" would be cool or the "Fevered Horde". Or the Hombres.
I don't like the people for mascots, such as Cornhuskers. And they have that little cornhusker for a mascot too, baby cornhole or something. Just kidding, I'm actually a NE fan. I do like the mythical mascots, like the cardinal/storm know as a cyclone and the jayhawk. I guess I do like fighting Irish, but that's much more charming than cornhuskers.
I like Berserkers. How about the Screamin' Babylonians? Or the Tsunami? How do you feel about teams that are expressed in the singular? Like the despised Stanford Cardinal? I always found that irritating.

Also - you will need to know your prescription.

Happy Birthday Stevo.

Happy Marty McFly Day.
On this day 25 years ago Marty McFly went back to 1955.

Autry Denson is the football coach at the local catholic high school.

Ellen, I bet she does recognize the books...Sweet Caroline!
Desmond is in Shanghai...it's about 12 hours time difference...he said it needs a good washing.
I'm watching the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater playing UW-River Falls on FSN North. They're called the "Warlocks" which is pretty cool. Wonder why I'm not watching Boise State.
Sorry, It's "WarHawks" which is still neato.
I was wondering why I was being subjected to Boise State.
Who is going to the Iowa State game this weekend? I am almost certain that I am.
Kansas is down to its 3rd string QB, but it is a team that beat Va Tech so it should be a pretty good game!
Brianne and I will be at the tailgate, but I'll have to leave to go to work at 2, so I can't go to the actual game. If anybody needs a place to stay Friday or Saturday, you're welcome at our house.

Are the womens' teams Warhawks? Or are they the Peacemakers?
Isn't there a Fighting Artichokes or some such thing? A community college in Arizona if my memory serves.
Tom
Wisconsin has a high school with the Papermakers as a mascot.
MOnica
In LA there was a school that my school played. The school was Manual Arts and they were the Toilers.
This weather really sucks - I mean blows. It blew our back fence down. We knew it wasn't totally stable, but we were hoping it could get by for a couple years. I guess we're lucky it didn't fall on anyone.
The Richardsons and Reeders will be tailgating
I was right. The Scottsdale Community College Fighting Artichokes.

Cornhuskers would be near the bottom of my list.
Tom
I like the Vikings. The name I mean. I also like the Spiders just bc there are so few.
The worst may be the Orabs.
p
UC Santa Cruz is called the Fighting Banana Slugs. That one is so funny it might be good.
Also - St. Peter's College in New Jersey's mascot is the Peacock. The woman's teams are called the Peahens.
Centenary College in Louisiana's mascot is the Gentleman and for womans sports its the Lady. Now that is really stupid. Robert Parish went there.
The Orabs might be worse though.
The one I kind of like is the Canisius Golden Griffins.
I agree, MN Vikings is good, but the MN Wild not so good.

Why not the Waynkers?
