Another reason I can't stand Brady Quinn.

Lenny's new collar

Lenny got a new collar! It has the "Script Ohio" on it.


I had looked for a Buckeye collar for him while we were in Columbus but I couldn't find one in his size. I found this one online.

They're not having their best season this year, but we are still big fans. LOVE Terrell Pryor.

Once the election is over, my internet time will be devoted again to blogging rather than reading every analysis I can find. :)

Could we turn Indiana blue?

Our Button Brigade is still hard at work making buttons until the very last minute. We can't make them fast enough, and we literally have made thousands.

Could it be possible for Indiana to vote for Obama? Check out this article!

Several Weekends Ago

On August 31st, Chuck, Jen and I ran the Spirit of Columbus half-marathon! I was doing a combination of running and walking, since I was not as prepared as I had been for the race in Indy. Plus, the pressure was off because I had already proven to myself that I could do it! Speedy Jen finished a whole hour before I did, and Chuck was close behind her, matching his previous time from the IU Mini two years ago. And I broke 3 hours! I finished in 2:59:24! So apparently I can walk faster than I can run, because my Indy time was 3:11:48. In the last 100 yards, I beat out the lady using a walker. No kidding.


I had a couple of Oreos for my dad. Back when he ran the Boston Marathon course, I was his Gatorade/Oreo supplier every three miles.


Besides seeing Jen and Alex and JD and his girlfriend Ashley, and seeing Chuck's grandmother Bubs, the other highlight of the trip was going to see the Buckeyes! Jen was able to get us tickets because it was the Alumni Band weekend, when they do "Quad Script Ohio." (THANK YOU JEN!!!)



We were in the second-to-last row in C deck and we had a great view of the field.

A fantastic weekend!

Book recommendation

I just finished this book last night. Go out and read it! It is fantastic.

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

The Talented Sarah Palin

I'm so excited...I finally found it on YouTube. Sarah Palin's talent in the Miss Alaska pageant.

For your consideration as you make up your mind in this important election.
