It’s been awhile since I have posted. To be honest not much has been going on. The holiday season is upon us and it’s getting busy.

Festivus came and went. It was a relatively tame year, which might be good. Brad and Kristi, thanks for hosting.

It looks like I’ll be installing a new water heater this weekend. I think mine is corroding now. It looks like it’s pretty stinking new… It’s always something.

Now on to the subject at hand. Tina and I have been playing some Guitar Hero on the Wii this week. Tonight I finally got fed up trying to beat songs on hard and playing the same old medium songs trying to beat my old high scores. So I hopped online to play some matches. It still seems a little spotty for the Wii. You get a match 1 out of 3 attempts. It was fun, a different twist. Here is the box score, if you will

Pro Face Off on Expert

It was more comical than anything because I can barely play hard let alone expert. Definitely something I am gonna have more fun with though.

Well, Guitar Hero has finally arrived. J and I were able to thrash early.. or late as it were. Battle mode is pretty f’n cool, whether it be co-op or head to head. My band name is “Taint Ed Saint”. A little play on words. I’m whipping right through the sets on Easy. It’ll be time to up the ante soon.

The Commander’s birthday was good. It was fun to see him walking around and interacting with another child close to his age. Nice work on the party Courtney and Jason

The Dettloff’s had another fantastic Halloween party. Me, Tina, Chris, and Kathryn went as some characters from Saved By The Bell. Screech, Jesse, Zach, and Kelly respectively. The contest winner was none other than Hulk Hogan. Wonderful job done by Ped. The crew from Anchorman showed up, Fletch made an appearance, as did Steve Irwin (with sting ray intact).

Perhaps some of you have been wondering where I’ve been (on-line). Well it seems IM is no longer allowed while under “the man’s” supervision. I didn’t block you or anything. You’ll have to catch me via e-mail or SMS.

Big Monday night game too. Go Pack!
