Michigan

Went up to Michigan this weekend with a good friend of mine, Scott. He wrote the drill for NCA my last year there and continues still. He recently moved to Atlanta and drives to the camps in Michigan so it worked out well for me to meet him in Cincinnati and drive the rest of the way together. He recently bought a brand new Nissan Titan. The thing is enormous!! Drives nicely too. Here is his website http://scottallendesign.com He's a freelance artist that works for video game companies.

I took the caramels with me that Elisabeth sent to me. I was giving them away right and left but had a tons-o-buns-o left when I got back...wow!

Michigan was good. I love going up there and seeing everyone. I really hate being so far away and not being able to help out on a regular basis. They look and sound good. The ballad is great and so is the opener. While up there I had a grinder...which is just an gigatn-o sub that's toasted. It was a buffalo chicken and if I go there again, I will certainly buy that again, cheap too.

Ha, I was so excited to go this weekend that I was up at four am on Friday morning! I was rudely wakened by my overly drunken roommate who was throwing up all night and trying to get into my bed thinking it was his. I had to lock my door to keep him out. I got to see my cousin in Cincinnati too! Great weekend.

Hey Chris
Thanks for helping with the driving. I can't believe how much gas that thing guzzles. Talk to you soon

Glad you had a great weekend, mine was mostly crap.
Friday night was fun, and it was pretty much downhill from there. My kids of course, always a bright spot, unless they are yelling,"mommy, sissy took my ____." God am I sick of that one.

This is weird, I'm about 1 minute behind Mary on all the blogging.

I really like the rower, three sufers and especially green sails. Good job Scott!

You won't be seeing one for a bit either! I'm going to bed! I was actually working this whole time. I'll try to get one tomorrow. I had a very involved weekend so it'll take a while.

Made it back to Atlanta this afternoon (I slept in late at the hotel) - its sunny and in the 60's! Michigan is sooo depressing weather wise. Total spent on gas = $242.00, holy crap thats a plane ticket

My favorite time of weekend = standing outside subway freezing and eating subs on the tail gate.


Talk to you soon
Scott

Michigan is gloomy, it followed me home though. Glad you made it back. That's crazy about the gas... I enjoyed the tail gating also..thanks for lunch!
