  • Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is inferior to Haagen Daz by all measures

    Better cards, better focus, more gin = Week 2 winner, with five eliminations. I almost took down the Omaha game, too. If it hadn't been for the re-buy rule, I would have.

    Trying to pin down the next big trip. Hiking in summertime Switzerland or scuba diving in late fall/early spring Belize? Either is certainly a reason to recover cardio and shed pounds.

    Nebraska opens the season against Minnesota tomorrow evening. The ember of college football is almost extinguished within me.

    The grocery store on Tuesday evening had some Covid-esque empty shelves. So far, the new school year is getting the blame.

    This past weekend I made an unscheduled stop at a Wendy's drive-thru after seeing a traffic pile-up at the Culver's. My passenger and I just wanted burgers and a cement mixer. Instead, we got hockey pucks in the shape of a square that presented like freeze-dried food and an excuse that only the strawberry Frosty machine was in operation. I wasn't sure if I should just throw my puck out the window or drive back and throw it through the drive-thru window. Wendy's is dead to me.

    Off the top of my head -- chain food that is dead to me: Chilis, Applebees, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, Bricks (gas station), Casey's (gas station), Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Fazoli's, Steak n' Shake, Subway, Taco Bell (but I will drink the Baja Blast MD), Buffalo Wild Wings, Sonic, Hungry Howies, Texas Roadhouse, Logans, Brann's, anything Coney Island Chili Dog based...

     

  • Tuesday evening

    Played poker poorly last night. I was too deep into my G&T. But I still knew better.

    I punched the clock at 5pm today. I was on Lake Michigan before 6pm. We took the Seadoos from Port Sheldon to Grand Haven. Hardly any chop or wind and the temperature was perfect (air and water). I don't envy how The Poors live, because I know they aren't out on the Big Lake on a Tuesday just because the atmospheric conditions demand it. Daniel is still right.

    I need one of my friends to buy a house on the Big Lake so I can play Higgins. I might have to try on St. Bart's instead.

    Walrus gifted me a leftover 2 Sisters salsa at the end of the auction weekend. It was not foul, but it was unremarkable in every way. Fuck, I hope Jalen keeps up his end. Wolf home league draft this Saturday. Draft. So uncivilized.
