Phew !

Well Todd "Heart-Attack" Jones got it done Sunday....barely. Way to go Todd. A comfortable 9-2 lead become a very uneasy 9-8 lead in the 9th with Jones on the hill with the bases loaded. A single pitch could have meant disaster for the Tigers but Jones found a way. The Tigers are 30 games over the .500 mark, unbelievable.

Well last night I went to a wedding for some people that lived on my floor in the dorm freshman year. It was a great time. I knew a ton of people there and broke a healthy sweat out on the dance floor. The DJ liked me too...he was johnny on the spot for my requests. I got to catch up with some old friends that I haven't seen in years. One guy in particular...Bill Crites. Bill is the college guy who never wasted a night to party hard. This includes getting drunk, high, RUI (rollerblading under the influence), among other things. Bill however, has an upside once you get past all the bad decision making qualities. Bill is the best guitar player I have ever seen in person. He is extremely talented. I went to his apartment one night a few years back and he was playing on his guitar.....I said, Bill you've only got 4 strings on your guitar. His response "Yeah I'm too lazy to change those two so I decided to write this song with just 4 strings. Let me know what you think." Bill then went on to play a 2 to 3 minute rendition of a song that he wrote with full lyrics and a great sound. To say the least I was impressed. Bill recently returned from Iraq where he served in the army for a few years. I hope that gave him some direction. After talking with him last night he seemed like he has grown up quite a bit.

Anyways......I've got to get some sleep so I can get through work tomorrow....have a good week everyone.

I can see you giving good directions. Here in London, we've asked for plenty of directions.
