Mittens!

The only person that really understands that is Matt Morgan, and I'm not entirely sure that it makes sense to him.

Today was a pretty good day, on the whole. I picked up Jennifer at U of M and took her to lunch at Central BBQ (always a great time). They had the AM Sports 590 (or whatever their frequency is, I don't know/care). They had some free ticket sign-up going on, so Jennifer and I both entered.

After lunch with Jennifer, I got a second lunch in the form of a Mechanical Engineering Department luncheon (read free pizza). The idea was for a bunch of alumni to talk to the students about different opportunities outside of undergrad - there were some older alumni from Wright Medical and Smith & Nephew, as well as a good chunk of the Class of '05 (Garrett, Zach, Ian, Nate, Jeff, and Me). Nate, Jeff, and I represented the shiftless grad student population, and did so well. I say that because we fielded the most questions that weren't stupid. Dr. Santi showed up too, which was good.

Jeff and I were really wanting to play the Southaven course today, but the cold plus the constant drizzle would have been annoying - the later especially so on a course located in a drainage area for 3 neighborhoods. Consarnit.

Remember that free Tigers ticket thing I signed up for? Yeah, I won 2 free tickets. Sweet.

Jennifer and I met up with Jeff and Brent at the Hack's Cross Buffalo Wild Wings tonight for some Live Team Trivia. At half-time, we were in 11th place out of 14 teams. At the end of the 2nd half, before the final question, we were tied for 3rd. After the final question, we were tied for 1st with the Wyld Stallyns. They guessed better than we did on the tie-breaker, but we walked away with a coupon for 100 free buffalo wings. Mittens!
