As I mentioned earlier, we headed down to John’s with Amanda, Joel and a few of Joel’s co-workers on Friday night. The main attraction was the Kansas and Bucknell basketball game. Joel is a KU fan and I immediately starting giving him crap. We ended up making a bet; the loser had to take a shot. He gave me 5 points, and later would give me 3 points at half. Well at halftime, KU was up by 3 so we both took a shot. As we all know, Bucknell ended up winning the game. Joel took his shot and I felt kind of bad about it and took one too! I think he will get his revenge the next time I see him since Cincinnati lost as well…

Speaking of which, we spent Saturday afternoon on the couch watching more basketball than I typically watch in a year. Eventually the Cincy game came on, and after a very rough start the bearcats ended up leading at half. We then drove down to one of my co-workers houses for a party. It was billed as a “not your normal pants” party, essentially you had to wear something that you don’t normally wear. Plenty of laughs would be had due to this. Back to the game though, I think the cats played really well up until the last few minutes. From that point on they couldn’t hit a shot and that is when UK’s lead got worse and worse. Another second round loss for the cats, but at least it was a pretty good game…

Sunday we met up with Doni for lunch. Surprise! We went to Jalapenos. :) She gave us a present from Mexico, a bottle of Tequila! I’m sure we’ll be having a margarita party in the near future. From there Kim and I walked around the plaza for a couple of hours and even spent a few minutes with the hundreds of war protesters in the park. Typically there are only a dozen or two of them out every Sunday, but I guess this is the anniversary of the start of the war, or at least that is what one of the participants told us. Before too long it was time for hockey! We won our game, and then headed over to Tanner’s for some wings and beer. When I finally left around 11PM, they were heading to another bar but I knew this morning was going to come early enough already. I resisted their pressure and went home, now it is back to work…
