Dr. Cyborg called and begged off the trip to Terre Haute this weekend with the lame excuse that he is playing guitar at his church on Sunday and he forgot all about that. Sure, Doc, no prob. So, it's next week -- leave Saturday afternoon, cruise Wabash Avenue with the locals in his pick-up when we arrive (I will try to refrain from yelling things out the window), stay at the Holidome, go see his old house, then head on back.
"I'm flexible, man. That's a plan."
And what about Houston, Bill? "Yeah, I'm game." So, that trip is looking like the first weekend in December, after the Ohio high school football play-offs are over, anticipating, of course, that the local high school will go all the way. Keep this one under your hats, please: I do not have season tickets to the local high school games; I do not even go to the games; I do not read about the games; I do not care about the games.
I'm still trying to figure out what is in Houston. I'm going to have to get a copy of Fodor's guide for Houston. Is there such a thing?
It's off to the West Side Market with Sue and Dave -- they're driving. Then the NCAA Division I National Football Championship-winning Ohio State plays at noon. And the Red Sox play the Yankees.
I think we'll have the fried blue cheese ravioli coated with a walnut-bread crumb mixture this afternoon.

Too bad you guys didn't go to Indiana this weekend-- the Dalai Lama was in Bloomington, with Mohammed Ali, for an interfaith temple dedication. I understand it's not Terre Haute, but it could have made an interesting side trip.

Posted by: Anne at September 8, 2003 09:13 AMYou don't care about the local football games? *gasp!* That is enough to get you banned from Avön Laké forever!
Posted by: Matt at September 9, 2003 12:49 AM"Avön Laké." hilarious!
Posted by: stacey at September 9, 2003 12:08 PMHey, how did you do that umlaut thing and that French-Spanish accent thingy? I'm way back in the 20th Century on that shit.
