So the rain this weekend was pretty ridiculous. Oh but Austin, Texas got pounded by Ike and parts of the Midwest were under water. Sorry. Let me just say that the three straight days of rain here in Lansing were not catastrophic, just annoying. And since I live in Lansing, MI and not those other areas, that is what I am most concerned about.
Moving on . . .
At our monthly staff meeting, we went around the table, asking each other questions. It’s called an “icebreaker.” My first question was describe your perfect day in meals. This was spawned by a thread on my Facebook page re: Krispy Kreme. Anyway, my day would look something like this:
Breakfast
Krispy Kreme (glazed or choclate iced) and a cup of BIGGBY Black and Tan coffee.
Lunch
#3 from Jersey Giant and sweet tea
Dinner
Cheese fries, a big, sizzling steak from Outback and a couple of big schooners of beer
What about you?
Last Saturday I watched Liverpool v Manchester United. After the first 5 minutes, United were second best by a mile. Liverpool are at least going to be in the race until Christmas, which is about two month longer than recent memory. I don’t see how United will win the title. Defensively they are strong (even though Van Der Sar was off the reservation), but I see problems in the midfield and up top. The 4-3-3 clearly didn’t work and when they went to 4-4-2 they wasted Rooney on the outside. Maybe when CR7 comes back to full fitness, things will change. Maybe not, and I could see Chelsea winning the League and the Champions League.
Recent movie reviews:
Unknown. I saw the cover and saw a lot of recognizable names but I had never heard of this movie before. Quite good. An interesting concept. Think Memento on laughing gas. Basically a group of people have been knocked out by gas in an enclosed space. As they wake up they don’t have recent memories but memories return as they “wake up”. The conclusion is quite good. No one is what you expect. See it.
Then there was Shoot ‘em Up. Blah. There were a couple of cool action stunts but these were obscured by the dumbest story ever. The movie even managed to waste Monica Bellucci (Matrix, Brotherhood of the Wolf). And then there was Paul Giamatti. Really? He’s the bad guy? Maybe, but he has some of the worst dialogue ever. Skip it.
Tomorrow United v Villareal. C’mon you Reds!

mmmm...Jersey Giant...something else that California doesn't have...ugh.
jersey....I'm definately in!
Any thoughts on Arsenal's chance? I have only watched the highlights but their offense looks good and the defense seems sound.
As for the rain, I know your selfish nature keeps you from caring about anyone else, but we here in KY and TN are suffering a pretty terrible drought and were sad to see all that rain go right around us as if deflected by a force field.
Finally me dream day of meals:
Breakfast - The Cracker Barrel’s Country Boy Breakfast with a Caramel shake.
Lunch - Big Bufford Combo from Ralleys.
El Sinaloense from "La Carreta" - a local authentic Mexican restaurant. It has chorizo, chicken, cheese, rice - delightful.
Dream Day Meal
Breakfast:
Cracker Barrell (not original) but the Blackberry Pancakes with whipped cream rule, not to mention the coffee.
Lunch:
The other day I went to this hole in the wall BBQ on Groesbeck called LAZY BONES SMOKEHOUSE. For $20 two big or three normal people get a trough of BBQ pork, ribs, beef brisket, beef ribs, rib tips, BBQ sausages, chicken breast, pulled pork, two sides and mess of cornbread biscuits. I polished it off with a buddy at work. The sauce was amazing. Way better than Famous Dave's.
Dinner: The Scallops Dinner at Fishbones. I've never seen such huge scallops. And the ambience is great.
i watched arsenal v newcastle and newcastle made arsenal look pretty good. arsenal's run will be decided in the second half. can they finish a season.
the real surprise has been liverpool. it's been almost 20 years since they've won the domestic league. they could come close.
