Not Much
Not alot has happened. Went to school for a week, pulled an A on my MATL test, played some disc golf. Went to a party last Thursday at Miles and Mike’s. Then more school for a week, and a party at John and Frank’s. Saturday we went to Bay City and saw my Mom and Dad, went to the Johnson’s Giant Pumpkins and the River of Time. Had dinner at Famous Dave’s with Dad and Grandma then came home.
I got two new discs last week. I actually do quite a bit better with them. We were out discing one night and decided to play highland games with some logs, and ended up quite filthy from them. Greg and I ended up tying though. Neither of us could get the log to flip, just land and plop.
This weekend we are going up to East Jordan for Jenn’s Aunt’s wedding, and reception near Gaylord.
Uhm, think that is it.
More some other time.

Birthday Week
Well, birthday went well. Had Applebee’s a few days before, and went to Schubergs the night of. Had some mini burgers and chili cheese tater tots, yum. Went with Jenn, Greg, and Dane.
Classes for the week went fine, especially since I got to miss a day.
IMTS was very interesting. Saw a lot of stuff that I had barely heard of, and more that I had no idea existed. Some of the machines and robots were really impressive.
Apple introduced new iPod nano, iPod touch, and iPod classic on Tuesday, full details on their site.
Jenn and I went to a bridal show last night (Friday) in Grand Rapids at the museum. Was a lot of women running around crazy excited of nothing, I was glad to get out of there. We headed over to Beltline to Johnny Carrino’s which was decent, but not great. They are trying to find a niche between Olive Garden and Carraba’s that I don’t think actually exists. Since we were nearby, I persuaded Jenn to go to Woodland Mall and look at the new iPods which are very nice. She made me promise I wouldn’t buy one before we went though, so I was good.
So, that was my week. Only other thing I could add is that I have been disk golfing more. Three times this week. Would be more if not for the rain.

My Last Last Day Off
Today was my last ever day of summer vacation, ever, for the rest of my life. Tomorrow though, will be my last ever first day of school (in theory, though I will likely get a MS or MBA eventually).
Last weekend, we went to bay City, hung out for a while at my Mom’s, then to Hooligan’s for a while. Good to see all the guys from the Library, and talked to Todd for a bit about his wedding to get some ideas for ours.
Sunday morning, Casey (Dad’s dog) got sprayed by a skunk, so he had to cancel going to Ren Fest with us to clean him up. My brother was short on cash, so he was a no. So, Jenn and I went off on our own. My dad called us when we were about to Bridgeport to see if we had left yet, we offered to wait for him but weren’t up to going back. He said no, so we kept going.
Ren fair was a lot bigger than Battle Creek’s, but kind of blah since we had just been to one a few weeks ago. I was complemented three times on my kilt, and once on my “Pluto Replies” t-shirt. We shot some archery, saw a 4 man joust, I got a t-shirt, and got a nice tan.
When we were finished there, we drove up to Garland to check them out. We got half off as we were looking at a wedding there. We had dinner, slept for the night, then met with the wedding coordinator in the morning. It is a very beautiful place, and we are certainly interested. Too many questions left though that we need to figure out on our own, and were not ready to commit to it.
Spent the week relaxing. My biggest accomplishment was probably attaining Pro level at WiiSports Golf.
Yesterday Dane and Greg moved in so we went to El Burrito to catch up then went for a round of Disk Golf. We made it through 14, played 15 – 17 as speed rounds, and called it too dark to do 18.
We gained 2 new family members Friday night. Got a second Jack Dempsey and a snail, that are in a second aquarium. As they are rather small, I don’t trust Jill not to pick on or outright eat them, so they are in my old 2.5 gallon. It is way too old to keep them very long, but until I feel thay can go in the big one it will suffice. When we move next year and are settled in, maybe I will get a 55 or 70 gallon for everyone to stay in.
I was right on my computer, it returned on Monday. Unfortunately, I wasn’t here, so I didn’t get it until Tuesday. It’s all fixed though so I am happy so long as it doesn’t reoccur.
OK, thats all for now. Will let you all know how classes are Wednesday evening or so.
BTW, 1 week to my birthday!
