Weekend - updated

After reading Brett's blog, I am inspired to tell about my weekend. It doubt that it will be as intertaining as Brett's, but I will give it a try.

Saturday, Dave and I woke up. We both showered and got ready to go to Ford Field for the Western Michigan/Eastern Michigan football game. We were to meet someone at the Detroit Beer Company. Jonathan Israel wants to help us with our website when he has time. He had other friends that were also meeting him at the beer company. They were all fairly young compared to me and Dave. Although I don't think they realized how old I was. It helps to look younger than my age. We didn't stay very long, just had an appetizer (Asagio cheese dip and nacho chips). We then made our way over to Ford Field. On the way, we passed a restaurant where a bunch of Eastern Michigan people were outside. Said hi to Greg, at student at Eastern who we have meet and talked to a few times. He might ride with us to Buffalo when we go to that game.

Once inside Ford Field, we headed for the Alumni get together. The food wasn't very good, but there was a lot of people there. It was getting close to kick off time, so we headed to the media center to get the stats. They had more food there for free for the media, so we grabbed a hotdog and some drinks.

Then Dave and I split up. I had gotten some pennents and stuff for Eric and Kumiko Holtzclaw and went to meet up with them. They are the parents of one of the players who have been emailing us. They live in Oklahoma and made a special trip just for this game. (more later)

Finally, I am going to try to finish this post.

After a disappointing loss, where Eastern was within one point of tying the game, but the coach decided to go for two points (which I predicted that he would do), Eastern lost. The game was against Western. If Eastern had won, they would have won the trophy for the Michigan MAC Championship. Western has the chance to win the trophy now if they beat CMU this Saturday.

I wasn't feeling up to par because of this cold/bronchitis/sinusitis/walking pneumonia/flu crud that I have been dealing with for four weeks now. So I sat in the seats instead of hanging out on the sidelines. Usually I like being on the sidelines. I wish I could get better at taking action shots. I think I need to take a class or something.

Anyway, we headed home, but the freeway is under construction and we ended up going out of our way, so we decided to stop to eat on the way home. Dave knew about a place called the Cloverleaf that had pizza. Surprize, surprize. More pizza. I am going to turn into a pizza soon. We were sat in the patio where there were some loud groups. It wasn't very relaxing. But the pizza was fairly good, so that made up for it.

Well, that pretty much ended our day. In rereading this, it seems very boring, but really it was fun. I just don't tell it very well. I might keep trying. Maybe. Maybe not.
