I don't usually buy albums but I'm finding that any artist whose appearance on Prairie Home Companion warrants three songs from Mr. Keillor usually warrants picking up the CD. Jerree Small is the perfect example, tonight we extended that to include Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris' "All the Road Running."
Today was really the return to MBA life, with the endless introductions, explanations, and feigned interest hitherto required. It was genuinely great to see Caroline & Brad, Steve & wifey (Allison), Irena, and Rachel F. again, but apart from that I don't have truly aligned interests with section mates.
The evening also included the MTrek Final Event picnic. It was fun to get everybody together again and see a few Norberters, including Norbert himself, and I suppose to gain some closure on the whole experience. Attendance was decimated by section events and Friday-of-Labor Day Weekend travels, but it was still a good event and a fitting way to essentially wrap up my duties for that organization.
Football time. Let's do it up... how about some overachieving, now? This is the year - ten and two and a New Year's day bowl at the least. It is on like donkey kong. One hundred and ninety four consecutive 100k+ attendance games at the Big House as of tomorrow afternoon.
Go Blue!
