JawSaw

I saw this on TV the other day, and I know you want one. You can get it discounted through the TV price, so order now! Frankly, it's probably a waste of your money, but it would be cheaper than some peoples' nights out at the bar - and safer too. Why not order it, then break it trying to cut stuff that's too big and whip yourself in the face with the leaves when it all gets tangled up? Why not?

Or you could always just buy the rodenator with a month's worth of bar savings...

In other news, it's the end of another long week. Amanda has a new job at a place which will hopefully make her very happy. Finding your first real job out of college is a challenge, especially after a Masters too, and she toughed it out. Let it be known, I'm really proud of her.

Work is going well, and there may be rumors in my life for a Ph.D. around the corner. My adviser told me he thinks I'll be done with my Masters in June. Goes without saying that I love research, but I can't wait to be done.

Go Green!

Michigan State Spartans got a win in the Shoe!!! It goes without saying that as much as I want Luke Fickell to keep his job and for the Buckeyes to do well, this was the one game where I had to cheer for the visiting team. And we didn't get flicked off by more than a few students, either. Honestly, I was very impressed with the civility of the OSU students around us. Maybe they were just shocked, or maybe they had low expectations for the result of the game, but they hardly bothered us - something that would never fly at MSU where students pelt "traitors" with insults in garbage until they get kicked out or arrested. Anyhow, props to Buckeye student fans for setting a great example. And to those 4 jerks two rows in front of us, well, your mommy probably bought you those Sperrys and brand new baseball caps that float on top of your head but never provide your face any shade, but she'd be ashamed to know you shoved your mouth full of chew and shook your hands unintelligibly at the air for two quarters before you once again left the game. Too bad you only bought football tickets to impress the girls in the seats around you, because you've failed at that.

My sincere gratitude to Dani and Gail for making huge drives to see Amanda and I, and for braving the weather to go to the game with me and cheer for the alma mater. Amanda was right when she said that MSU would always be in my heart, and my heart was glad for the team which has struggled against itself since Saban left.

Go Green!
