The Lay of The Land

So, the weekend has passed and what a weekend it was. Penn State finally got the proverbial monkey off of their back and beat Ohio State at Ohio State. I have to say it was well worth the wait. I hate Ohio State very very much. That is no secret. The fact that we were able to beat them in a year that we weren't expected to do anything at all in the national picture makes it all the more sweet. I was over to watch the game over at Karen's and I think the kids got their first real taste of my love of Penn State. I don't think they were quite sure what to make of it. It can be real overwhelming. We did make a couple of pizzas and that was a real cool experience. I make a mean pizza that is for sure. Tonite, we made some pasta and that was pretty cool. I spiced up some of the sauce with my special mixture and as usual it was pretty damn good. Work is at an interesting point right now. There is a lot of uncertainty with the FRB right now and with the economy as a whole so I wonder what the future may hold for me. Next week the election is finally here. Regardless of who you are voting for we are at a real historic time in our country. I am looking foward to being a part of something historic. Okay well time to wrap up and close these big eyes for the nite and get tomorrow started.

What I have been up to???

Lately, things have been picking up and I have been involved with some cool stuff. First, Penn State is now 6-0 with a big game coming up against Wisconsin this weekend. I am nervous about this. Of course, I will miss this game because our annual trip to Charlotte to see the Sprint Cup Race is here. I blinked and the trip is here again. I get to go with my brother, my friend Mike, and we will meet one of my best friends Paul Ruppel down there again for a second straight year. It is a great but tiring trip. A lot to do in a few short days. Last Friday I went to see the thrash band Testament in concert. I love these guys and always thought they were better than Metallica ever was but they never got the popularity that Metallica did. Outside of feeling like a terribly old man that was out of place there mosh pitting, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. The original band that just completely blew the roof off of the dump. Awesome.....Fall is finally kicked in and the leaves are changing and the nites are getting colder. I think this year I might venture out to a few haunted houses with Karen just so I can make sure she needs someone to grab on to...I am slick!!!! Yea right....I don't know if I will be able to post anymore until after the trip. If not holla if you hear me....!!!!!
