Then into the weekend. Friday night was a night out, past the nuclear power plant in Pottstown and down to King of Prussia. We got to the places we needed and came back tired. Saturday was a busy, busy day. The Vibe needed a check-engine light cleared (gas cap not closed tightly enough!?!), we needed drawer organizers, there were blinds to be shopped, mail to be picked up, a Girl Scout garage-sale reel mower to be purchased for virtually nothing. All of that happened early in the day, which disintegrated at roughly 3:52 when Oregon threw its second 50+ yard touchdown pass.

About that... Michigan just isn't very good. Talented athletes, yes. Competent coaching, hard work, winning attitude, not so much. What gets me, though, is that the alumni who won't stand up in OT against MSU or raise their voices when the D needs a key stop against Iowa stood up and unleashed the boo birds early and often. Newsflash to Michigan fans: we have it pretty good, so acknowledge that part of the reason that the team isn't fired up is that you aren't fired up on game day. If you don't cheer when times are good, don't boo when times are bad. It smacks of hypocrisy and sore-loserness.

Sunday was better. We skated at Rodale Fitness Park early, did some housework, and then hit two stops on the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail's Harvest Festival. It was fun and cool to see what the Valley has to offer, but I think we'll miss Michigan wine when we want to support the local vintner. Later in the day we did more work around the house: bookshelves, water the yard, etc. Then chilling in the loft - our favorite thing.
