This weekend a couple of buddies (Toby and Casey) and I took a road trip to Nebraska to watch the Aggies play the Cornhuskers. Toby is from Nebraska so it was really a trip home for him. He and his family are dyed in the wool Big Red fans. Casey and I were making our first trip to the great state of Nebraska. One of the things we learned along the way is that "There is no place like Nebraska." Sometimes that was good and sometimes it was bad. :)
We had planned to stop off in Edmond, OK for a round of golf at a nice course, however we spent too much time at Coaches restaurant in Norman that we missed our tee time. So we called around and got a tee time at the Cedar Valley "championship" course in Guthrie, OK. We were also able to get a picture with the largest golf ball in the world!
While in Nebraska, we stayed with Toby's aunt and uncle. We played a game called Super Pong for hours on end. It's basically ping pong but you can also score points by smacking your opponents with the ball at any point during the rally. It keeps you on your toes.
The football game itself was a very good experience. We got to meet Lil' Red who is probably one of the only opposing school mascots that I would pose with. He was pretty funny to watch run around. He never did bounce on his head. That may be something he reserves only for victories. The Huskers fell to the Aggies 36-14. It was a great trip.

Mr. Bird
Tonight we had an unwelcome guest in our home. Steve went to open the front door for someone who was coming by & just as he opened the door, a bird flew in! It flew straight down our hallway onto our fan in the living room and just sat there! We were a little unsure of how we would get him out. Steve got a broom and basically chased him all around our house while both the front door and the back doors were wide open, so hopefully at some point or another he would make his way out. Well, after about 15 minutes of landing on our couches, kitchen counters, shutters, cabinets, light fixtures, curtains and hitting mirrors he found his way out...all with the help of a broom. What an adventure!
