Work gave me tickets to the Colts vs. Bengals tickets tomorrow.
Ironically, my date (who doesn’t even like sports) is all of a sudden a Bengals fan. Or Denver Broncos. He can’t decide.
Why does this always happen?
The Plasters Button has been updated and has a few photos.
Jon is working on some to be animated GIFs, which will be featured on BDFGA.com
Also, this is another blog post! Woot! I’m a blogger! Whatever that means!
My father use to take various business trips and it always mind boggled me (at 10 years old) that he never actually saw anything besides the office and a hotel. When he traveled to Paris he brought me back a World Cup 1998 scarf (?) that I’m sure he got in the airport.
Now that I’m older and making a few business trips I realize how difficult it can be to get out and do something when you’ve spent a whole day in meetings and (nowadays) a mountain of email to catchup on. Luckily for me I was able to sort thru my inbox and with the time difference - I was able to get out of the hotel and explore (on foot) Provo, UT.
I made a beeline for the BYU campus, because I figured that was the most walk friendly (they had sidewalks as opposed to the major roadways near the hotel). And it was…campusy. And glorious. And gorgeous, with views of the mountains and lakes. It appeared to be freshmen orientation, (ie young looking people wearing their landyard and with ID attached to it) in little groups doing team building activities.
There is just something electric about being on a college campus (even Purdue! Okay Not IPFW!) The architecture is interesting, the people watching is fascinating and there is just the je ne sais quois about these places.
Really it was all a bit intoxicating. PUNS!
Few housekeeping notes.
First of I’d like to make a specific dawnid.com BLOG mention for Shane. As you recall (or you may not), you got all pissy with me when I asked if any of the James Bond movies were remakes.
“James Bond is a franchise. No James Bonds were remade.”
Thanks for the tcom lesson. Unfortunately, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, because you’re wrong. There was one James Bond film remake. Thunderball was remade in 1983 with the title Never Say Never Again.
Second, Weber’s Warsteiner Invitational pictures now have a lovely lil button on the right hand navigation. Next to be uploaded Naddy Lite Open.
Lastly, DawniD.com is getting a picture viewer upgrade. See the River photos. I know I know, “but where are the captions, they were also so whitty and insightful!?!?”. Trust, they are coming.
Drop me an email and let me know what you think, or to tell me how a sitcom is made.
Batesvillians - here is where you will find pictures of the Weber Warsteiner Invitational:

A right side button shall be up in the next 24 hours.
River folks - Pictures and videos and blogging (LOTS of blogging just for Shane) shall be up soon.
Update: I am never in pictures, because I’m generally behind the camera…so much to Weber’s disappointment, I’m actually pretty excited about my devil picture being the favorite of the weekend!
I have a bad feeling that either red peppers, or tomatoes (specifically spaghetti sauce..) will have to be eliminated from my diet.
My chest feels like the bubbling of boiling water…
I don’t think I can watch anymore on Tim Russert’s…Just watched this clip of Luke Russert on the Today show and for 15 minutes I think crying would be an understatement.
I don’t know how Luke did it but he is very articulate and composed.
I recorded one video from last night’s concert of The Avett Brothers at the Vogue. I’ve embedded it on my tumblr as it messes up dawnid.com:
The Avett Brothers Live - Vogue
It was such a great live show. Really high energy - and a real bassist!
Also they shout out Indianapolis in the song (which is really how the song goes…)
