I got directions from chique, too. But I’m not coming from the cities. Anyway. Okay, fine. No Sub. See if I bring _anything_ then. Kidding. ---

You said you had directions! Ah, well - hang a right at the stoplight and follow 'em from there. Who’s gonna bring what, have y’all decided yet? Nine more days til I get to meet EllyPooch! [sub]Oh, and Elly too.[/sub] ---

I’m not sure what I’ll bring yet. With how picky I am lately though, even if I **do** decide now, I’ll change my mind before Sunday. Today I enjoy tomato soup, yesterday I couldn’t even SMELL tomato soup without getting queasy. The short answer is, no, I haven’t decided what I’ll bring yet. 😃 ---

Fair weather fan? Me? NEVER!! I will remain a loyal fan! As long as they beat the motor city kitties this weekend, that is. ---

I have a few two-liters of soda, going to buy chips tonight or tomorrow before I leave town. I’m going to _try_ to find the place, but to be honest, I have the world’s worst sense of direction. So expect me to be a tad bit late. 🙂 ---

YIKES!!! **BlackKnight** , STOP!!! 20 October, not 13. If you show up Sunday you’ll get stuck with just ME, and that’d be just wrong. ---

_whew_ I actually enjoyed a Vikings game. I’m still trying to bash out the details. It’s a noon game, right? ---

I don’t think that they delay the football games in case of an invasion, they just switch to news coverage, at least that’s what happened on either CBS or FOX last year. Hopefully we won’t find out ---

I’m still attempting to convince my wife of the brilliance of driving an hour north, drinking beer, then driving back. I’m about to try another tact. ---
