Cedar Point Ferris Wheel at night

Parmesan Cheese Fail:

At lunch the cheese was coming out of the shaker very slowly, so Joe unscrewed the cap to sprinkle his. Apparently he didn't screw it on quite tight enough when I went to use it.

Sensitive Moment Fail:

At church last night we were all walking up front to take communion and there was nice, soft music playing in the background. It was quite hot in the sanctuary so there were fans all up and down the side aisles. After taking my bread and juice I made my way down the side aisle and knocked into a fan. I went to grab it so it wouldn't fall over, but the cover was broken so my fingers went into the fan blades making an obnoxiously loud sound. Just picture it; it was hysterical.

Quote of the Day

"The shark's not trying to eat the human. It's just trying to investigate, but it investigates with it's teeth. It'll most likely spit you out, but then you're riddled with holes so it's too late." ~from Shark Week on Animal Planet

Moving right along

Travel Update:

I had a great time with family up in Michigan. I spent my birthday with them, playing in the pool, doing some go-carting, mini golf, and bumper boats. My visit also coincided with opening night of a musical my cousin was in, so it was fun to be there for that. Then after much too short a visit, I made my way down to Indiana to visit with my college friends, Joe & Ashley and Laura & Dave. Now while the other guys are out mountain biking, I'm enjoying a nice quiet morning catching up on laundry, Patriots news, and blogging.

Training Camp News:

So I must say I'm a big fan of bringing in more guys for training camp, even if they are jettison from the Al Davis disaster called the Oakland Raiders. The way I see it, the more competition in camp the better, especially if they're name has "Pro Bowler" attached to it. They all have to push each other to become better players, and the team will be better for it, no matter who makes the roster come September. Would we really be that comfortable placing the fate of our team in the hands of Andrew Walter if the unspeakable were to happen...again? Perhaps not yet, but who would you prefer, O'Connell? Gutierrez? Like I said, competition makes for a better team in the end.
