I'm not a good blogger...

I get it - I'm not very good at keeping this updated. Like "Do-Your-Best" Care Bear all I can do is dream big and never give up.

Umm...anyway here's what's been going on in my world...

Saturday April 21st brought my mother and her friend Kristi to town. Damn can they drink! I believe they started the day with a Bloody Mary at 12pm at The House of Coates in Coates, MN and never looked back. The rest of there day included a trip to Uptown (William's Peanut Bar), Downtown (O'Donovans and Maxwell's), Northeast (Gasthof's, Nye's and The Bulldog) and campus (Santana's). Thanks to everyone for meeting up with us at some point.

Saturday April 14th was the wedding of my college friend (and DirtCutter coach) Burton Friedman. The event was held at The Great Hall in St. Paul. It was a great time. I believe that will be the last time I see that many Delta Tau Delta alumni in one room. Anyway the escalator entrance was memorable and Burton looked great. Congrats bud!


I was in LaCrosse, WI over the Easter holiday. Mitch, Jake and I spent an eventful Saturday night with Megan Tasca and family. The night was a doozy. I've slept next to hooters before but never above a Hooters Restaurant. Thanks Molly!

Saturday March 31st was our annual softball beerbust. The "We Try Hard's" were in rare form once again. Although The Sportsman's Pub is a dump we always manage to have a good time. Here is a link to our team website: http://web.mac.com/houledesign/iWeb/Houle%20Design/Softball%20Central.html

AGRA Fantasy Baseball officially began March 28th with the annual draft. I was the homer who took Minnesota Twins players a tad too early in the draft. Oh well, I prefer rooting for players I like. Here is my squad: Catcher - Joe Mauer, 1B - Justin Morneau, 2B - Jeff Kent, 3B - Aramis Ramirez, OF's - Barry Bonds, Delmon Young and JD Drew, Utility - Chipper Jones, Bench - Nomar Garciaparra, Mike Cameron, Chone Figgins, Pitchers - Roy Oswalt, Dave Bush, John Lackey, Jason Schmidt, John Smoltz, Rich Harden, Mariano Rivera, Dan Wheeler, Jonathan Papelbon and Joe Borowski. Give 'em hell DirtCutters!

Friday March 23rd was Megan Tasca's annual birthday trip to Halftime Rec in St. Paul. Gotta love Irish music and bocce ball in a dirty unfinished basement. I love that joint - it wreaks class.

March 21st I played garbage man for Steve and his bathroom remodeling project. I'm good at lifting heavy object and throwing them in my truck. I consider events like this a potential resume builder.

Saturday March 17th was a big day for multiple reasons. First it was a big weekend in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I love the first weekend of games. Second, it was ST. PATRICK'S DAY! Perhaps my favorite holiday besides Thanksgiving. Third, it was the day of the Dwyer & Thorson dual bachelor party. Dodgeball, basketball and Corey's balls were all topics discussed at the event. It was a great time. Big thanks to everyone for attending!
