Misc.

In the last month, I have spent 14 days out of the state of CT. Between trips to Philly (twice), Minnesota, Penn State, Michigan, Boston, and some long days at work, I have not had much time to keep up with this site without sacrificing actually having a life during the rare evening in CT.

It's not like things will slow down next month. I have another weekend in Michigan for a wedding and an 11-day trip around Thanksgiving to Germany to visit Maverick, who is too cool to comment here now that she moved away. This trip meets the rule I established after last year's loss to OSU (leaving CT the weekend Michigan-OSU football game), but I really hope that we find a way to watch the game on the 18th since it might turn into an epic showdown if neither team chokes over the next two weeks.

That said, here are some random pictures from the Michigan-Penn State trip last month that I feel like posting.



We met at PhillyPhanatic and Nells's house before leaving. Now I know what PhillyPhanatic did with the ball that made the final out of the P&C championship season.

Our super awesome ride.
The RV parked next to us was a work of art. Literally. This was the mural on the driver's side of the RV. There was a mural of the Big House on the other side.

If you don't have tickets to the game and still want to tailgate, set up a massive projection TV with the Direct TV satelite that is hooked up through your RV.

See the kid in the sports coat and tie? Biggest. Tool. Ever. He wears that outfit to all Michigan games and drinks Belvedere at tailgates. FlyingV and I saw him in Ann Arbor the following week.

The random games played at tailgates never cease to amaze me.

FlyingV in deep thought.
