Miami

I'm tempted to show you another weather report comparing Baltimore to Miami, but I think you get the idea. It's gorgeous here.




Lots of fun stuff to go and explore. The Heat play the Pistons tonight so if dinner doesn't go too long I may be able to stop by and check out D. Wade and friends play. All the pictures here.

We have a lot of work to do. More pix here.

Medieval Times is Everywhere

So last night after arriving home and settling in from a weekend away, the wifey and I settled in for the evening, relaxed, graded some papers and watched some television. Now as you remember, not too long ago we told you about our trip to Medieval Times. While we were there, we sat in the Green section which meant we supported the Green Knight (who turned out to be the bad guy). Here he is pictured below.


Now on last night's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the family getting a new home was way into Knights, Chivalry, and Medieval Times. So for the house demolition, they did a medieval theme with horses, battering rams, etc. Lo and behold, look who shows up.


I spent the whole night yelling at the TV trying to warn Ty & friends that he is the bad guy. I wouldn't trust that house if I were you.

Lake Champion - Campaigner Weekend

We just got back from Lake Champion this afternoon. It was very weird being a married person at camp and not having to work our butts off. Kind of nice. Anyway, we got a chance to see the new dining hall which looks awesome and catch up with old friends.







It was also pretty incredible being out on the frozen lake. Apparently 13 inches of ice can hold a lot of weight. More pictures can be found here.

Imitation is the finest form of flattery

The wife and I will be out of town this weekend at Lake Champion as I do program Geese and Horrigan for a Campaigner Weekend. We decided a video would be something funny to add to our incredibly hilarious, thought-provoking, and creative program for the weekend.

The basic premise is that is that Geese is a plumber and Horrigan is a nerd. They are both trying to get people to join their clubs and that's where I come in and pick on them. At some point they will say, "Man, that guy has been picking on us for years..." and this video will commence...



Now 4 years ago, the three of us were also in charge of program for a weekend. We had a similar idea for a video...



As you can see, we subscribe to the theory that the wheel does not need to be re-invented.
