DOGDAYS ROLL ON...

Wow, where does the time go. One day it's the fourth of July and the next, it's August. The month of July went really fast, but I guess a lot of it had to do with my schedule.
Since it's been nearly a week since my last post, but it seems like I haven't really kept up with anything for the last three months. For those of you who care, here's an update of what's been going on with me.

Spent last weekend in the Irish Hills of Michigan, and went to Canada last week as part of my trip. No, I did not try to seek asylum there. Windsor, Ontario isn't uniquely Canadian like Toronto or Quebec, but we did have a funny experience as we crossed the border. It went something like this: Names omitted to protect the innocent.

CANADIAN CUSTOMS AGENT: Where you going, eh?
U.S. DRIVER: Canada.
CANADIAN CUSTOMS AGENT: I kind of figured that since you'll already here. Where are you going in Canada?
U.S. DRIVER: Oh, I think we'll head up North and do some sightseeing. (Not knowing the North was the direction from which we came from Detroit)
CANADIAN CUSTOMS AGENT: (Rolls eyes) Move along now....


Anyways, I thought it was funny, but you had to be there... The Michigan race concluded my month-long "internship" with the IRL. The experience was great. I got to work with some great people and experienced a lot of things I would never get to do here in Anderson. I hope I get to do something that much fun again soon.

I'm back at the paper now. I'm getting ready for football season, which will be here before we know it. I'm also trying to spend some quality time playing the football video games before I become so sick of the sport that I can't have anything to do with it. Not doing much else. I've sort of became a hermit here in my apartment. I need to get out more
