Memorial Weekend was stupendous! Thanks for not necessarily asking. I survived the outdoors. And to those thinking camping would kick my marshmallow, well I got news – I liked it. Andy broke me in gently (insert pun here), we just went for a few days and our campgrounds had working potties. The best part about the trip was just hanging out with stupid and not having to worry about my Blueberry or if I was missing a Food Network Challenge.
The weather was gorgeous and the west side of the Mitten makes me have a new appreciation for the state. We did a lot of hiking and hit up Sleeping Bear Dunes (see below). I swear it’s where they filmed the sandworm scene from Beetlejuice. ....the dunes at Sleeping Bear, which range in color from pale champagne to burnt sienna and which roll and spike to 400 feet in height that earned a perfect 10 in our Splendor category. My verdict – it’s desert meets park. I mean it was a glorified sandbox with huuuuge hills. I guess that would be a dune? My legs are still aching from walking for 2 hours. This megabatch of a hill is the entrance.

In other news, you can tell from the below that the only radio station we listened to was ESPN - which was the jam! Holy sports weekend batman! Uuuhh the Wings games – which I am ever so peeved that the Blackhawks coach thinks the hit from Kronwall was not legit, the puck was in play buddy. Wings made up for Friday night with Sunday’s spanking The Red Wings Dominate Despite Being Short-Handed. This hit was fugly! I don’t think Havlat knew where or what he was after this hit. Coach Babcock reports on Kronwall getting the skate for the game: "It was absolutely the wrong call. It was actually a good finished check."
Before you freak out – even other players saw this as a legit hit. Great ESPN article.
Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik said Saturday. "We thought he left his feet. But the one last night, the more times you saw it, the more legal you thought it was.” "I think the call was based more on the result of the hit, the injury, than the actual play," Orpik said. "That kid just plays the game hard. He's not out there to hurt guys."
We have an American in the French…still! Oui Oui. Apparently, though, he turned out to be Andy Roddick, newly married, newly coached by Larry Stefanki and newly into a French Open second round for the first time since 2005.
And the Dancing with the Stars dude won Indy. Dancer’s legs!
Mikey Likes It – While city mouse was in the country, Mikey mouse was in the city… THE city. Vegas baby. He is showing small signs of life today.
No report from the source on gambling, but we can report: "I did get every kind of novelty cup or drink while I was there.”
