Lawman, what part of Des Moines are you going to be in?

So I splurged and got myself a PS4 Pro and Red Dead Redemption 2, and it came yesterday. I really wish I could skip work the rest of the week.

That's a most gracious invitation. I'll have a hard time accepting on this trip, though. I have to watch with a colleague and then get the hell back to work. No rest for the wicked, even if the game is a brief reprieve.

A work trip eh? In the words of one of my favorite professors at ISU "Sue the bastard!"

Yeah. I said that out loud when I read about Larry Curtis dying (in honor, not in reference).

I had forgotten that he had passed. I don't think I learned much but damn did I enjoy that class. I also skipped it to go to the presser announcing Fred as the new coach.

Back when Fred was a player Larry Curtis was the mayor of Ames. He cut the tip of his finger off in a snow blower incident. Needless to say when someone said the Mayor injured his hand it spread about like wildfire because everyone associated Fred with The Mayor. This was pre internet / social media and it still spread quickly. People were so relieved when they found out it was just Larry and not Fred.

Keg stand or drive out to Bondurant and go to Barntown Brewery the people who make the Cyclone beers.
I'll second the Keg Stand. Owners are big cyclone fans. It's where CF hosted Coaches Night for several years.
