Leaving for our Annual Fishing Trip

Tomorrow we leave for our annual family fishing trip. I can't wait. It is going to be great weather up in Minnesota and great company. Some of our normal group won't be able to make it but it should still be a wonderful time. I hope to catch a ton of fish and get a lot of time with our family. This is everyone's favorite week of the year and it always allows us to get to spend a lot of time together without the distractions of modern day live. No walmarts, TV, or other technological distractions. Aside from a few laptops and cell phones of course.

This is the first year I am taking my dirt bike and hoping to make some time to explore the area near our cabins a little more thoroughly than in years past. We are hoping to catch tons of northern pike, walleye, and perch in addition to my dual sport pursuits. I can't wait until 1:30 tomorrow when I get off work and we start the 12 hour drive up there.

Counting Crows Concert

      It was a wonderful night with the Counting Crows. I was very surprised at how friendly all the band members were. I really expected them to be more distant. My wife and I got to listen to their whole sound check and the see the band actually practice some of their songs and work out kinks here and there. It was a great experience. 

      Our seats later on though were directly in front of two very drunk and very stoned brothers who were absolutely obnoxious. We broached the subject in a variety of ways but it kept getting worse. Finally, rather than have an altercation two drunk idiots, we decided to just relocate. Starlight was more than accommodating! They gave us much better seats and totally understood! It made our night even better. From then on we had a perfect night! It was a great experience!
