For the championship!!!!!!!

Well we have come to the end of our bowling season. While our goal was to win both halves we were not able to accomplish that. With that being said we still have our spot in the final next Wednesday. So while our cousin, Chris, a.k.a, Thee Colorado Flyer, won a big bike race. I am on to trying to win my second bowling title. The first was when I was about 20. So it has been awhile. The team I was the least experienced. Now I am the main guy. So it will be fun as well as a wee bit stressful. I finished the year with a 197 average. My highest ever in a sanctioned league. So will see what the pins have in store. Also I am headed to state April 21-22 in Milwaukee this year. So it hopes to be an exciting month for bowling.

It's go time.

Well folks it is that time of year again. The stretch of April to October. This is where I have found I am able to maintain a high level of energy and lose weight. The last two years I have lost 35, 45 consecutively. I also started at about 260 each year as well. This year is different. I am at 226. It would seem to me that the task at hand is more difficult this year. Also I am being challenged by my wife, ex sports medicine/physical fitness guru/ registered nurse. She went to a consultation at the club we work out at. So she is primed and ready to go. She has set goals of 145 by may15th, and 135 by august 15th. That's my birthday by the way, so I will be expecting loads of gifts. OK. Just kidding about the gift part. So in her competitive spirit has started saying how she is going to beat me. Well this just won't due. However not willing to get a consultation myself, which comes with the membership, I still feel I can win. The question is though am I being to much of a "MACHO" guy because I don't want to get help in the process. Or is it I think I can win with all the factors stacked against me? So we start our quest for 195. That is my declaration. By Sept 1 I am going to try to be 195. I think the last time I was under 200 was like 1994. That was a century ago. So with that folks, it's go time!!!!!!!!!!

Hockey game.

So Becky and I went to a Milwaukee Admirals game on Sunday afternoon. They just happened to be playing the Grand Rapid Griffins. Now in all honesty I new the hockey team was from Michigan, but had no clue it was the minor league team of the Detroit Red wings. Well this started off some banter about who's team was better, our town has a real hockey team ,blah, blah, blah. Now since that little debacle last summer where the Brewers lost 2 0f three to the tigers in miller ballpark, the state of Wisconsin has taken the edge. Packers 2, Lions zero. The Admirals also had been schooling the griffins this year 5-0-0-1. I can't even keep up those hockey record stats. However from the looks of it we have taken back the Wisconsin/Michigan thing for the time being. Well see what happens when the Brewers head to Commerica this year. We had great seats up against the glass. Front row just to the left of the penalty box area. I like the seats, but for hockey being up a couple rows lets you see more of the action. The Admirals had this kid who looked 16. He was in the box next to us, and I thought I could probably take him. OK, so maybe not. I give hockey players alot of credit. They have a great skill level when it comes to skating, puck handling, shooting, avoiding checks, and the works. But we had loads of fun. Now it's on to the baseball travel season. Some interesting teams to check out this year.

March Madness!!!!

Let me just say this post is not in reference to the weather we have been having this month. In a span of a week we have gone from really cold to somewhat warm to summer to late fall and back to winter. HELLO WISCONSIN!! I am referring to the greatest sporting event every year. I have my several dozen brackets filled out. Let me just say that women I don't get how you come away winning office pools in sports like this, but you do and it frustrates us guys because you don't use a real philosophy that would lead you to be successful. You don't look at records or styles of play. You look at mascots and team names. What's up with that? So another pool, more women kicking guys tales. Like I have said it is the best event of the year. I ave had the pleasure of going to some games and the energy level is great. Win or go home. So today at work I have made up for the fact I have no vacation to take off. So the TV has shown up with me. So I will be a wee bit distracted from 11- 5 this afternoon. Let the madness begin. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did he say?

You know that I have those days, and really I think we all do, what I mean is you just feel like the day is going super slow. You have been up for an hour and it seems like it's been 60 minutes. You drive to work and think back how did I get here. I mean you know you made it OK, but your mind was so preoccupied that you don't "really" ever remember the exact course of events that took place and you made it to work or wherever your traveling to. Our you get online and your looking to connect with that guy from across the globe and you read something the sound like it came out a Ozzy song, right it just doesn't make sense. So he blogs about who knows what. Then you look for that attention grabber, and no pictures. Well that would cut down on the typing cause they say a picture is worth 1000 words, and he hasn't got any, so he writes 1000 words hoping you get the picture. You just want to scream at him, but you know he isn't on the computer when you are and so you don't. Also he doesn't have the techno at work for computer speakers anyway so that wouldn't help the situation. He goes on and on. You want to stop reading, but realize that it would be rude, and you have wasted ten minutes reading this. You don't stop because you say well it has got to pick up sooner or later. There has got to be some method to the madness, and then you feel like those movie that leave you hanging. MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That frosts my corn flakes. So there I was the other night ad you know how many trucks are on the freeway every single day. Well I am 31, and I don't do math this early, but that comes out to like 10,000,000 days or something. But I saw for the first time a student truck driver. Some driving company trains people to drive trucks. I never thought about it, but yea it makes sense I guess. Well sorry for making you read through this post. I just wanted to get a few things off my chest. I would go back and spell check, but I am afraid of what I would see. He is to more awesome posts. Maybe I'll throw a 1000 worder in every now and then. Hehehehe.

P.S. Everyone keep posting. It's really fun to see what's going on in everbodys life.

post 20

So last night I was reading the paper and it had an article on how long will you live. Based on some pretty interesting gathered data they feel like they can tell you how long you will live till. While not entirely accurate, as it doesn't take into account any national disasters or unforeseen circumstances, they take about 3-4 dozen questions about your lifestyle. Based on your answers they calculate how long you should live. Well they have me croaking in the year 2053. Then after they give you feedback on how you can add years to your life. I can add three of them if I get married or find a "life partner" First of all I am married as I answered in the first couple of questions. Second I will take my place in heaven before I try to add "three" years to my life with a "life partner". Not my cup of tea. Nevertheless it was a interesting little exercise. Livingto100.com is the site if you want to get a kick out of when they expect you to live too.
