weekend fun

Well, the weekend is half over.  We had another game Saturday and lost another game Saturday.  Frustrating.  Not going to complain about it anymore.
After the game, Carly and I went to Surfside Beach with Nate, Kate, Stella and Kirk.  A fun time was had by all.  I felt like I was doing something really wrong because in Surfside, you can drive on the beach.  I know, rebel.  Stella loved the water.  I however was mistaken for a beached whale when I approached the water so I did not enter the gulf totally.  Kidding, it was cold and windy and I didn't want to get soaking wet.  Instead of swimming, I watched as Nate and Kirk were attempting to "dive bomb" pelicans with Nate's kite.  They were unsuccessful and eventually the guys switched to football.  In a Big Ten juggernaut of a game, Michigan (me) was upset by a much sweater vest-ier Ohio State (Kirk) team. 28-21.  Today, my feet feel as though I was playing on broken glass.
In other beach news, we ate brats and dogs for lunch.  We didn't have any condiments so I found some in the glove box of my truck.  Yeah, they were old but it doesn't matter right?  Wrong.  Very wrong.  The ketchup that I used was from Hardee's.  Good, except for the fact that there are no Hardee's in TX.  This pack of ketchup had to be from when I still lived in MD.  This would make the ketchup about 4 years old...  I should have gotten the hint when the ketchup came out and it was brown.  I decided that it was "no big deal" and that it had gotten "better with age".  Ketchup does NOT get better with age.  I felt ok until around 9 when I began to drip sweat off my head and be freezing cold at the same time.  Carly got a box fan from the garage and I wore my Snuggie and went to sleep on the couch.  I must have gotten over the brown ketchup sickness because today I feel almost at full strength.  Learn from me people, do not eat brown ketchup.
