Weekend

This was a busy weekend.

Friday:
Amanda came down from Dayton and Rachel made her favorite spaghetti bake for dinner. It was really good then and when I had leftovers on sunday.
Then we went roller skating at Skateown USA after confirming they served Nachos (C+ for "bingo style" - a heated cup of cheese). Here are some pictures:


Saturday:
Amanda stayed over since we had to wake up at 6:30 am. We volunteered to be the victims in a Christ Hospital emergnecy drill. The situation was the Enquirer building caught on fire and collapsed. I picked an easy victim, I was a green tag, 19 yr old w/ chest pain, shortness of breath, and a history of bipolar. Rachel and Amanda were both DOA and went to the Morgue.
After a really long nap we went to Rachel's Mom's to see the OSU game and Rachel got her baby fix as Matt and Shannon were down with little Sam. Once the game was in hand we played Fluxx and 5 bazillion Rummy, as it is known in my family. My Rummy game was really off, but I was used to Grandma Sturgis throwing me an Ace or two when Grandpa wasn't looking.

Sunday:
Rachel and I went to Yellow Springs for the afternoon. We ate at Young's Dairy and walked around town. It is somewhat similar to Concord or Chatam with neat little stores. There were a lot of neat cars going through town including:

The red Ferarri every young boy had as a matchbox
A Bentley
A Tiumph 3 and an MG
An old 70's volvo wagon that someone near me really liked
Lots of motorcycles

Even after buying our house, Rachel still loves open houses, so we went to one for an old house in Yellow Springs. The front half was very old with original 1930's wooden floors and built in bookshelves in the library. In the back they added on a new kitchen which was nice, but didn't really fit the rest of the house. The back screened in patio felt more like Massachusetts with a really mature and grown in back yard with a lot of shady trees.

Monday:
We went to the Patriots game, Rachel's brother Robby was able to come on late notice so we picked him up at UC. The Pats won 34-13. At first the crowd was really into the game. They got a little down once the Pats went up 10-0. When the bengals finally scored you would have thought they won the super bowl the way the crowd went crazy and started talking smack. By the second half the crowd was quiet and even sat down. By the 4th quarter they started to leave since they "were getting screwed" on all of the calls.

I didn't have to say a whole lot since they were so down but my top comments were:

1. "This is just like the game against Cleveland"
2. "Oh No! Ocho No-catch-o"
3. "Randy Moss is amazing"
4. "Wow!"

Rachel had some good ones too for a couple of the annoying fans behind us, I'll let her post them.
