On Saturday, I went to the MSU vs. Minnesota football game. Will, Brad, Jim (Brad's son) and I went to the game. The football was amazing (MSU scored 51 points) but the weather blew. 20mph winds coupled with rain and 39 degree weather make for great football weather - if you're in a dome. We ended up taking off before the half and heading over to watch the rest of the game in a nice warm bar.
Saturday evening we went out with the Niemi's and Girard's for dinner and to a comedy club. We went to Pronto! in Royal Oak for dinner - which was great, but had to many freaking options to feel like you're making the right choice. We went to the Comedy Castle (which Cathie's uncle used to own) where I laughed for 90 minutes straight, all while inhaling the same amount of second-hand smoke that you'd get over a 3 year period. We went back to Pronto! for dessert and then headed home.
Today after church, we did a whole lot of nothing. I laid on the couch and in moments of conciousness (napping) I watched the Lions game. For dinner, Madeline made up menus for everyone and we had a "Fancy Dinner". The menu consisted of appetizers (bacon), a main course (5 different types of pancakes), and beverages. Madeline dressed up in her holloween costume, which is a 50's soda-clerk outfit (that incidentally can easily be mistaken for a french maid outfit). She went around and took orders from everyone while I was the short-order cook. She served the orders and loved every minute of it
Nate continues to sell popcorn for his cub-scout pack. I'm not a big fan of the whole "sell crap for your organization" thing, unless it supports the boy scouts or girl scouts (and sometimes a youth group). I figure I pay tax dollars, so why supplement schools with my money for cheap crap? The best part is listening to him go through his sales pitch - as he describes the goremet (gourmet) popcorn with pek-ins (pecans).
