Two years ago when I was still living in Hawaii I came home for my dad’s funeral and told my cousin’s daughter I’d buy her sushi next time I was in town.

She’s hounded me for two years about it, so now I get to spend my Saturday driving to Iowa to buy sushi for a 15 year old.

On the plus side, she comes from a HEAVY Hawkeye family and decided she’s going to Iowa State. Even wore a Cyclone shirt to the family reunion on the 4th, which was ballsy being that the only Cyclones in my family are myself, my mom (only because I went there, she really doesn’t care) and my converted brother and nephew.

Switching them to the good guys one at a time.

Sounds like time well spent. Keep building up those ISU ties with her/for her.
 
Pretty nice evening for outdoor concert listened to 2 blues acts in CL, then went over to MC to listen to a husband and wife Irish music act. Overall a pretty entertaining evening.

Thanks everyone for the ratings on my post from a few pages back. I've followed the alerts back to that post enough times now that I am obligated to make a special trip to the grocery store to pick up some pork center loin and butterfly it into some chops. The corn there wasn't bad last time either. I'm sure it's Illinois corn, but I'll make do.

Also, I'm going to have to bring DD to an ISU game this fall. Maybe we can line up an unofficial visit for her. And... yes, I am going to bring back some authentic Iowa pork and corn while I'm at it.

Ames gameday weekends where DD isn't playing softball:
9/1 - SDSU
10/27 - Taco Tech
11/10 - Baylor
11/24 - KSU

The weather will be great I'm sure for SDSU, so looking at that right now. There seem to be a lot of tickets still available.What's a good section to get?

I think Tech is Homecoming, could be a fun weekend if you were able to get here Friday night for the pep rally and stuff.

These days we only make about one game a season when we can mooch tickets from my dad. Last year was the Iowa game which was perfect weather. Don’t know our fall softball schedule yet.

New card here, should be good now. Though none of my transactions since my last statement show up soooooooooooooo free stuff???

DH used the opportunity of switching stuff to new number to set up autopay on stuff I've been trying to get him to do for a while. Figured remembering to pay the phone bill each month will be low on the priority list here shortly.
 
I am going to Wisconsin on July 19, so I would volunteer to hand deliver a cake to @cowgirl836, provided she lets me know where to take it. Just send your contributions to me. If you're sending cash, please keep it to 20s and 50s.
We will be leaving Wisconsin on the 19th...I'll wave out the back window atcha!

Just pulled a "weed" from my hostas and it came up with a walnut attached. So, not a weed. Trying to transplant it into a pot along with some baby oak trees. Maybe in a couple of years I'll have little tree seedlings for your woods project.

Turned in more books and my study room key today.
Turns out I have 12 books outstanding, and ones I used a lot

Library staff worked through the shelves to see if they were there but unscanned. No luck.
I looked, too. I saw a bunch of books I turned in last time, all in the correct locations. I was hoping for a mistake.

So I have 12 books floating around somewhere. Where I went to seminary, they would hold up the degree for that. Glad that ISU doesn't play that game.
 
Whew.

So Ottumwa beat SEP 1-0 in the regional semis at SEP. Solo HR by the first baseman with 2 outs in the top of the 5th, and they managed to hang on. Now they get to play at Indianola on Tuesday. Much tougher match up.

In class 4A, Fairfield was at #6 Osky. Fairfield was down 4-1 with 2 outs in the 7th, but they managed to score 5 runs, and Osky couldn't recover. Fairfield wins 6-4 to go their regional final. Fairfield was at state last year, but they were really down this year.

This has been your Southeast Iowa softball update. :D
 
Following Sara V sports update with another. Corner Monitering went well. Pro1,2,3 mens really roll along. 2 broke from the pack early and were up by 20+seconds. about half way thru the race, one more broke from the pack to join them and that group continued to lead by 15-20 seconds the rest of the way. So in reality you had 2 separate races going on the gap was big enough they added another motorcycle to lead the pack. The local kid came in 12th to in his 1st yr at this level nice finish by him.

Ladies race was much closer with a nice tight race except for the 2 who got dropped and we substantially behind.

Overall it was a lot of fun only 1 crash and he got up and continued.

When I was about to graduate, ISU did the same thing to me. But this book had only one copy. I was 95% sure I had turned it in and they were asking some obscene amount (IMO) for the book cost. I went to the library for the maybe 6th time my whole college career. The book was right there and I took a librarian over and was like "wtf?" It's here.. Then they dropped it thank God
