We Lost

No projects or travel for today, cause its an Iowa vs Iowa State football day...

My younger son Ben and his wife went to Iowa City to stay with her niece that has a new home there and attend THE game...

If you live in Iowa, this is like the super bowl, but in truth, both teams are on kind of a rebuilding year.....  Especially Iowa, as they graduated most of the team last year.....

I went to Iowa, so I am partial to that school, but they lost this afternoon by dropping passes one after another and then tossing interceptions especially at the end of the game....

They had a winning touchdown that was called back because the runner stepped on the white out of bounds boarder of the field.....  It was just that kind of a day.....  And a long afternoon for the home team...

So for the second year in a row, we Hawkeyes have to bow down in humble submission to the Staters.......  Well, you do if you live up there, but since I have moved, I won't get much guff from folks around here........

Heck most of the folks around here have barely heard of the teams or the game, and it wasn't on any tv channel...  Except that I have satellite which covers the big ten network.....   Sad....

In other news, that book case didn't even get carried to the basement for assembly this afternoon because of the game...  But I asked Loyce if she had gone down and looked at the first one that is assembled, and the answer was no..   In her defense, she had an eye appointment yesterday and they dilated her eyes so she couldn't have seen it very well anyway...

We were teasing her last night as we had to read the restaurant menu to her...  And what we were telling her the menu said was obviously wrong....... Making up wild dishes for her selection......  But she didn't believe it for one minute..

After reaching a low in the early 50s last night, we only made 76 this afternoon.  I did wear my short pants, but it seemed rather cool outside all day..

Other than a trip to Wal Mart at half time, we never left the house, so thats it for today.....
