Things to look forward to
The Halloweiners' Ball is over and Fremont is long gone. There are no more weddings or parties of Hawaii trips on the horizon. It gets dark at 4:00pm, and it is generally going to be cold for the next six months (excluding today of course - 66 degrees by my last count) so lets face it... summer is over. But that doesn't have to mean our fun is over.
Instead of bitching about work, here are some things in our future that we have to look forward to: (Those listed in bold are not family events)
1. Thanksgiving - There is nothing wrong with Thanksgiving. Food and drinks all around.
2. Suite Potato Jam* - still in the works. We will have to wait an see how this turns out. Isn't a little mystery more exciting anyway?
3. Thanksgiving Eve - Supposedly the best drinking night of the year. I find that hard to believe but it is still a night of drinking on a Wednesday and there is nothing wrong with that from where I'm sitting.
4. Christmas - Jungle bells, Santa, presents, some ham maybe... good times all around.
5. New Years Eve - What are we going to do this year? I don't know but I bet it will involve champagne and noise makers.
6. New Years Day* - the greatest Sunday Funday of them all which fortunately for us falls on a Monday this year
7. Sunday Bears Games
This is tricky because it is really just a variation of Sunday Funday but if they keep up this pace every Sunday will be a huge party. Plus I am now going to guarantee a Super Bowl win for the bears. You can call this my Super Bowl Shuffle - the week after they lose I am saying f' that, they are going to win it all. And if they don't, this never existed.
8. President's Day Toga Party* - What do you say? Sounds like fun right?
9. Various Birthdays - I know there at least 3 or 4 birthdays in the next couple of months. I know I have $25 in my pocket, I can do open bar for four hours. Sign me up.
10. Super Secret Desert Baseball Fun Retreat - What? What is this? I don't know but it sounds like something exciting. Lets definitely do that.
See, just because summer is over doesn't mean that there aren't awesome things to look forward to. This will be the best winter ever.
* may involve the creation of T-Shirts

When we were busy having the greatest time of our lives, I believe we decided that we should do it every year--right? Why did you not include a long weekend that could be the "greatest time of our life part II." I want to go back. I need to go back.

Loveit. This gives us all hope. Specifically the Presidents day holiday. We could have full creative control over that one and blow it out, as I am sure not many people will be vying for that holiday. I'm still thinking about a way to weasel myself into the Super Secret Desert Baseball Fun Retreat. Great list of thoughts. Please ignore Ryan Aron and his preposterous ideas.
what the hell are jungle bells, Kurk?
Sorry, that was supposed to be "Jungle Balls". As in "It's Cristmas time and look at that gorilla's jungle balls."
My editor really screwed that one up.
what a bastard. i hope your editor gets syphilis and can't come on the suite potato jam. or to the president's day toga party.
