The weather wasn't our best friend this afternoon, but the rain held off for the most part. The sky was actually sunny during the game. I'm not a big fan of the weird scoring format that they used, but the game gave us a few reasons to be hopeful.

Back at the hotel, the night was wrapped up with great food and more beer than I would care to admit.

Back home tomorrow.

Overtime victory for the Wings, bounce back win for the Tigers, hot coals on the grill, and cold beers in the cooler - all is right in Fenian Godfather Land.

I write to you this evening from the Corleone Family's Indiana estate, located at the Knight's Inn in Elkhart. A nice leisurely three hour drive has been followed by an evening of entertainment and indulgence. Good stuff.

Tomorrow, I get the opportunity to reinstate myself as a Notre Dame football fan... or to remain a free agent. Time will tell.

Yeah, I didn't get my $17.50 today. Bastards. Honestly though, I'm far too drunk to produce a set of new clues for the gumshoes. The next episode will have to wait.

I honestly have to say that Detroit should just close the zoo if that's the best they can do. There was some talk about shutting it down last year as a result of budget constraints. Half the exhibits had no animals, the concession stands were all closed, and the railroad was not in operation. Bullshit.

After that I stopped by my parents' house for a while. In addition to being a bunch of unapologetic drinkers, we're also some committed carnivores. Dad grilled up a pile of burgers, brats, and Italian sausages. Beauty. That should kick off the weekend in primo fashion.

Tomorrow afternoon, it's off to Indiana for a good weekend of fun. My meat from Omaha Steaks showed up today, rounding out the culinary arrangement for the weekend's festivities. The beer is loaded into the coolers, the car is full of gas, and the spring has the potential to wash the bad taste of last season from our mouths. Nice.

From the world of conclusions - I have concluded that my couch is most likely the most comfortable spot in the country. Yeah, I didn't do a whole lot today, as if that were any big secret.

I did manage to hit the grocery store and load up on supplies for this weekend's tailgate festivities. I think that counts. Apparently I'm set to take my niece and nephew to the zoo tomorrow. We'll have to see how that goes.
