Let's all try to live by Treach and Vinnie's words tonight:
"I'm not into tricking; only treating.
And I'm not into treating every trick that I be meeting."
Have fun kids.

All Hallow's Eve
Happy Halloween. I'm going out as this stud from the Arthurian Legends, and LongMan will be going as the man himself.

Here Kitty
Fun with Photoshop.Reminder: My friend Christine's book Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women is now out in stores and available for purchase. It's an interesting read and makes a great gift (unless you are buying a gift for Maureen Dowd). Christine suggests that you buy it online. They'll bring it right to your house. Now that's service.

Mrs. Offering
It's been (yet again) too long since I posted, but it's been a busy fall. I'm married now; TheGirl is officially Mrs. Offering. It was a fantastic celebration out in the hot, beautiful southwest. Quick recap:
-We hit Sin City from Tuesday to Friday before the Big Event, with a hard-partying posse of 3 (Tuesday at dinnertime) to 75 (Thursday night). Great times all around. We had people staying at virtually every hotel on the strip, we gambled, boozed, hit the clubs, had massive parties in our suites, and generally caused the kind of mayhem that you'd want to cause leading up to your wedding. The Bellagio kindly provided me with a Penthouse Suite which we put to good use Wednesday and Thursday night.
-Friday to Sunday we stayed at Entrada Country Club and golfed, drank, and visited with friends and family. Good times.
-Sunday night me and the missus stayed the Wynn Hotel and dined at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, which was just what the doctor ordered. The honeymoon is still TBD, but it's looking like Aruba toward the beginning of January.
Other news and notes:
1) The Hawks disappointed us yet again last week with a loss to a far inferior Indiana team...with a game looming at Michigan this Saturday, it looks to be yet another ho-hum season. I really thought this team had a chance to do something special this year (contend for a BCS game, finish in the top ten, etc.) but with all the injuries we've suffered and a stupid road loss, I'm guessing we'll finish 9-3 at best, and 8-4 is certainly not out of the question. I just wish that one time Iowa would beat all the teams it should beat. One time.
2) The Lou Pinella Era begins in Chicago- Jim Hendry signed Lou Pinella to manage the Cubs for the next three years, probably hoping that Lou's impatience will save his own job by swiping a division that should be up for grabs next year. Let's just hope that the front office understands that Lou will not be pitching or playing left field for the Cubs. We need players too, and a lot of them. On the bright side, though...
3) The Bears are unquestionably the best team in football. With a 5-0 start and a Monday night date with the sputtering Cardinals, the Bears are poised to romp through the NFC, grab that coveted No. 1 playoff seed, and hopefully shuffle their way to the Super Bowl. We're strong on D, fast on O, and have all the intangibles this year. What's even better than that? John Clayton says we're not going away for years. I agree.
Enjoy your week. I probably won't, as my wisdom teeth went bye-bye last week and I'm still pretty sore and on the applesauce and pity diet. More soon.
