Beijing 2008

If you know me at all you know I love the Olympics, alot. This year's olympiad was like every other in the fact that I intended to watch every minute of it but pretty much missed it all. But the swimming, I saw the swimming! Way to go Phelps, Crocker and man god Lochte. You guys were incredible.

One way we did celebrate was to hold our own Beer Olympics Maine style.I know the beer olympics is not a novel idea, in fact if you google it you will see that every bar, fraternity and serious drinker in the country has been involved in beer olympics. Still it was a first for all of us and we had 5 teams, 5 events, opening cermonies, the medal stand, a keg of Bud Lite and one fun night. Too bad we got last place and 2 losers were the winners. Oh the irony!

Although summer was sad to let go fall is pretty sweet too. The leaves are starting to change and it is football and harvest time. We had an awesome garden season, here is one day's picking. Nice veggies huh?

Too bad fall also means school, because going back to school is a real drag. The first 2 weeks are past and I survived but it has not been fun. Plus I am teaching freshman engineering majors, physics. Oh boy they are full of excuses for why they don't come to class or turn in their homework. I don't care if your roommate wouldn't give you a ride to campus or you got locked out of your dorm, I am not your babysitter. Jeez, 18 year old boys, they are annoying!
