The Lions vs The Eagles
Sunday, September 19th, 2010
Joe & Brenda treated Dennis & I to see the Lions Season Opener vs The Eagles at Ford Field. This was almost a dream come true for Dennis. The only improvement on the day would have been if the Lions could have pulled off a win. They were very close.
The game was just about as exciting as a seasoned fan could handle. It was a veritable roller coaster of emotion. One that I was happy to share with Dennis, Brenda, and Joe.

Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me
Thursday, September 16th, 2010
We love Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. As big fans, we decided to take a trip to Chicago to see it live at the Chase Bank Auditorium.
Before the show, we went out for dinner at Topolobampo. It’s one of Rick Bayless’s restaurants and the food is wonderful. The atmosphere was lively and hopping. I got a mojito, ceviche, and enchiladas. All were delicious and popped with flavor.
Later at WWDTM, we saw Peter Sagal and Carl Kassell host Paula Poundstone, Paul Provenza, and Luke Burbank as they presented the week’s Oddly Informative News. The audience was very energetic, and almost routy! It was really fun to be there and see them in action, and I would totally recommend the experience to other fans.
