Moving On
Enough of mourning, it’s Michigan Week, a time of abstinence and quiet reflection for us Buckeye fans.
Haw, haw. As you might have noticed, I changed the banner for this week. The significance of each of the photos in the banner, as well as a lot of other OSU-Michigan lore, can be gleaned from this 2005 post.
As I believe I said in an earlier post, I’m flying to Charleston, SC on Thursday to gather with my 2 brothers and our mom for a long weekend As we have for the past 4-5 years, we’ll build a pit fire in my brother’s field, roast a bunch of oysters, drink a little beer that my other brother from Atlanta has been brewing at his cabin on Lake Hartwell, and watch the game in what looks to be 70-degree weather. Weather in Ann Arbor on Saturday: 44 degrees and rain.
The trip will force a lot of work into the next three days, especially since the following week, Thanksgiving week, will be short as well.
Happy Monday, all!
Enjoy your trip to Charleston. Roasting oysters and drinking beer…hmm, if that’s what happens when you watch football games, I may take up the practice. A woman I work with spent last weekend back at her home in Pittsburgh and came back on a cloud…apparently she is a fanatic Steelers fan. She, too, spoke reverentially about the food consumed in connection with football. I don’t see the connection…
This all began with the the Toledo War (1835), n’est-ce pas?
There is another, even better, university in Michigan, you know…Go SPARTANS!
Sorry for your recent loss, Phil. Not!
