Michigan vs. BGSU (tailgating)

I wish I would've taken more pictures. We met a set of twins. They were so fun - BGSU graduates, played softball for BG, and both work in law enforcement.

COFFEE

As some of you know, I have been trying to kick the caffeine habit. Why? Use your imaginations. Today is day #8 with no coffee.  I've had one can of pepsi and right now I am drinking a bottle of coke. I think that's pretty good, so far. My head is killing me, but that could also be because ragweed is obnoxious this week.

I was trying to quit coffee and pepsi, but it's proving very difficult when attempting the cold-turkey method. I looked up the amount of caffeine in both. can of pepsi = 38mg, starbucks coffee = approx 300 mg!!!!

I need a new layout

Any suggestions? I hate how this is so narrow and hard to view.

The man cave is now under way.

Just a reminder - what the room looked like before we moved in.
