Stories of Bo

As you may know, there was a "celebration" of Bo Schembechler's life at Michigan Stadium this week and there's a great story about the event at TheWolverine.com. Lots of former players, and coaches and such turned out and talked about stories of the old ball coach. There's some real gems in there.

On other fronts, it's been a crazy week. My son, Kyle, got sick again Monday night (apparently he wasn't as "all better" as we thought) and he ended up with a ticket to the hospital after getting way too dehydrated (he was keeping nothing down). For those keeping score at home, this is the second time this year we've run through that particular scenario. Nothing but fun from my young'ns I tell ya. Fortunately, spending the day and night on an IV agreed with him so we got to bring him home today and don't have to spend Turkey day with cold cut sandwiches in a hospital room. That would've really sucked. At least I won't have any trouble coming up with something to be thankful for tomorrow.

On a gaming front, I went out today to pick up a rental of College Hoops from Blockbuster (while I wait for Gamerang to come through) and, of course, they're not putting it out until Friday. Bummer that. Hopefully when I go back on Friday they'll have plenty of copies (last year they had one lousy copy).

And finally, I've reached down into the depths of my Guitar Hero skills and made significant progress on the Expert level. I'm just three songs removed from finishing the game on expert (Bark at the Moon and Cowboys from Hell, of course; Frankenstein's also giving me fits). I don't expect to get past those anytime soon. Maybe by the time the 360 version of GH2 comes out.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving everybody!
