Mr. Anderson: November 2007

Gophers vs. Badgers

November 17th 2007 - Wisconsin Badgers at Minnesota Gophers

Too much red...

The Stapleton's love their Badger football

My sister Rachel made the trip up to back the Gophers!

Shawn likes to give us booze...

Unfortunately the Badgers won 41-34 but it was a great time! We'll get 'em next year!!

Camp Randall

I went with Shawn on my annual trip to Madison to watch a football game at Camp Randall. Since the Badgers are traveling to Minnesota to play the Gophers I decided to watch the Badgers play the Michigan Wolverines.

Fellas doing some tailgating

Fortunately we went the whole weekend without getting a ticket. Sconi won 37-21. Visiting Camp Randall makes me REALLY look forward to the Gophers getting their outdoor stadium. 2009 is right around the corner...

Bogota, Columbia

I spent October 29th - November 1st on a business trip (printing consulting) in Bogota, Columbia. I had never been to South America so this was an exciting trip. Unfortunately I spent 99.9% of my time inside working. I did get to travel in an armored car with a personal body guard. That's different, right?

Driving to the facility

Still driving...

Lunch with the "Color Management" Team

It sounds like I'll be headed back sometime in 2008. Perhaps I'll schedule a day or two to site see. Perhaps then I'll have more to tell and better pictures.

Going to see Brutus...

The weekend of October 26-28th Brendan and I (along with a few others) decided to take a trip to Chicago to see our dear friend Brett "Brutus" Armin. Brut has been battling cancer for some time so we decided to spend a weekend with him and try to lift his spirits.

Imagine our surprise when a limo showed up on Sunday morning with three free tickets to the Bear vs. Lions game. Apparently Brut's old employer from Los Angeles wanted us to have a fabulous day on their tab.

Brendan and Brutus got field passes

Don't tell my family I wore an Urlacher jersey!

After the game we went to Gibson's Steakhouse. $500 later we were full.

It was great to see Brett. He's an amazing guy. I can't wait to see him again in December!

Isaac Jacob Stapleton

On October 12th 2007 Isaac Jacob Stapleton was born.

Congrats to Donnie & Heather!!

Florida Trip

From October 9th-15th Alicia and I took a little vacation in Florida. Gary & Margo Jacob were nice enough to let us use their vehicle and condo in Cocoa Beach. We also spent a few days with Korrin in Miami.
