The Hole Gets Deeper

The original plan this weekend was to visit the old stomping ground, my alma mater, along with a few others who graced our wonderful university with their presence. Scheduling conflicts ensued and the trip was scrapped.

So, in my quest to justify drinking before noon, I had a brilliant idea. What are legitimate excuses to drink before noon?

• Oktoberfest
• Shit in My Eye
• Snow Volleyball
• Las Vegas
• St Patty's Day
• 12 bars of Christmas (not sure if Richard starts before noon, but it seems like a good tradition in which to do so)
• College Baseball World Series (I did it once)

Schmock and I are adding another this Saturday. We are heading to Rockford, Illinois for OTB. What is OTB you ask? Off track betting. We're gonna sit at some large bowling alley/bar/restaurant and bet on horse races from all over the country. It's gonna be a Vegas sportsbook without the other sports, free drinks and Jeff Higgins. I do believe it's a brilliant idea.

The g/f and I invested in our future together the other day. We purchased a couple's membership to a local golf course. Golf anytime all week and unlimited range balls. I will be a single digit handicap by the end of the summer (probably not).
