Corn Wins

Jenny and I actually made it to the State Fair this afternoon. It was my first time attending without being there as a volunteer to do work.

The only food I had ever had before was a deep fried candy bar. I experimented more this time.

We had deep fried fresh fruit, roasted corn on the cob, gator nuggets and hush puppies, regular and strawberry lemonade, curly fries with cheese, more corn, and I had to re-visit deep fried candy bars.

Fun times, fun food, funny story.

The last of those (funny story) we only witnessed in video form. We ran into some people we knew who had spent some of their morning at the fair watching horse shows. They also witnessed another man in the stands who was brushing his teeth, constantly. No toothpaste, no water, no swishing, just a dry toothbrush.

They shot 12 minutes worth of footage on their digital camera, he is brushing during all 12 minutes.

Maybe he should become a fair attraction next year, it is one of those things you just couldn't look away from, even though you wanted to.

Time to sleep off all those calories.

Dirty Tricks

Jenny and I walked to the Redbox tonight to rent a movie. We picked one, rented it, and walked home.

15 minutes later I was e-mailing Redbox to get my money back. The people who had rented the movie before us, carefully took the barcode sticker off of the dvd and placed it on their own cd-r. Thus, we had no movie and they had no charges for theft.

Hope the process of fixing that all goes smoothly.

We just watched my favorite movie instead.

Not Good Alone

Traditionally, our young adults group heads to Applebee's after we finish things up at the church on a Thursday.

Tonight, someone changed our location to Buffalo Wild Wings (I like trips there, have I mentioned that?).

Because I had been there the day before for lunch, I felt the need to order differently, so I ordered Jenny's favorite appetizer (the chili con queso dip). I just don't get as much enjoyment eating it alone as I do when she's there.

Waivering Decisions

North Central University had their first soccer game of the season yesterday.

I saw most of it after arriving late due to a work meeting.

It was interesting for me to evaluate from the sidelines, knowing that had I wanted to, I could have been the head coach of that team this year.

I haven't ever gotten to the point where I wished that was the case, and in fact, am glad it isn't busying up my schedule right now, but will always be curious what kind of coach I would have made for them.

Lunch Meetings

Usually, they're worth it.

Tomorrow, I get a two hour long buffalo wing meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings in Champlin.

Me, wings, free, 2 great guys as company.

And they'll pay me for it.

Awesome.
