It's only a game!

My mom wasn't getting enough here at home (post-season football action that is!) so she went to Indianapolis last weekend to visit her friend Teresa and see the Colts play the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was supposed to be a sure thing for the Colts, who were 14-2 in the regular season, but they beat themselves just like the Packers did so many times this year. We are used to this, but poor Teresa is devastated! But overall it was a great girls' weekend, with some real shopping scores on Saturday along with a most excellent German lunch with Apple Strudel for dessert at The Rathskeller before the game on Sunday.

This is just a cool panorama of the current RCA Dome, scheduled to be replaced by a new and improved, bigger and better stadium with a retractable roof in the next couple years ....


We missed mom, but I still had a fun weekend because Doug was here! In between watching all the football games on television he and my dad actually made quite a bit of progress on the basement renovation. More photos to follow soon, but here's one from a couple weeks ago after they got the gas and electric connected to the fireplace. Now they don't have to wear jackets and sweatshirts when they work down there, it's nice and toasty warm at the flip of a switch.


Flame on!
