44 days and counting…

Well it’s really coming up fast.  44 days from now Tina and I will be wed in the wonderful town of Northfield, MN.  I think we’ve finally got all the tuxedo measurements in.  It’s been a gas getting RSVPs every day, both the random comments and the regrets.  We seem to be doing pretty good so far.  I think they usually say you’ll get about 70% of invitees.  So far we’ve been well over that mark.  At this point I think Tina and I just ready for the day to be here so we can celebrate and then get on to the honeymoon.

Now that the NFL draft is over and the Twins aren’t really doing much for me this year and I can’t watch the Brewers much, I find I can’t get enough of College Football.  The NFL I can take or leave until Week 1 of the regular season.  I like to read the gossip of my beloved Packers, but I really enjoy college football and am excited for the upcoming Badgers’ season.  There is even talk of making it out to Camp Randall for a game (which I haven’t done in quite a few years).

I really need to build a new computer too, I can’t wait for some money to free up after the wedding…

Dis, Dat, and the Lat with some nerd talk.

Holy nerd batman… I couldn’t resist when I saw this headline posted on reddit.

int i = 5; i = ++i + ++i; Question: i = ? ; ( PHP: 13; C: 14) Why?

It effectively turns into one of the most nerdy conversations I have ever read. I did enjoy reading it, probably because of some of the nerd humor.

I re-discovered podcasts the other day. I admittedly haven’t listened much since Digg started to bore me and Ricky Gervais started charging for his podcast. I found one of my all time favorites - “Car Talk” with Click and Clack. Cars aren’t my hobby, but for some reason I enjoy listening to those two. I also found a few other NPR shows that have kept me interested as well; “Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!” and “Fresh Air”.

LBT and I are progressing on the wedding plans. We are getting closer and closer. Soon we’ll have nothing more to worry about except showing up.

We are also going to be painting our garage… and then the house next fall or spring in preparation of putting the house on the market. I think we’ve out-stayed our welcome there and figure it’s time for an upgrade. So if you want to donate or show off your prep or painting skills give me a call. I’d be more than happy to evaluate.

Volleyball is going well and we have in fact launched our own website… mostly for shits and giggles and because we won’t be outdone by suckandblow.com. We are going to have to see if we can’t get into a couple of tournaments this summer. Perhaps the Friendly City Days tourney, and maybe one or two at Mama G’s. Although the summer weekends are filling up VERY fast.
