IT"S FRIDAY POSBANG THREAD!
BMW 435i. Replacing a 535i 6-Speed. The 5's have become too large, ponderous and stodgy over the years.
Here's to being able to step outside this weekend without it being so cold!
I've been struggling with a cold for the last few days, a struggle which included a moment on Tuesday where I very nearly passed out in a meeting, by all accounts, so I had some juice and went home after that. Wednesday and yesterday were pretty bad too, but today is the first time since late Monday where I have felt semi-normal, which is a good sign.
This weekend will is one where my wife works, so it will be a lot of hanging out with the kids, watching the snow slowly begin to melt and, of course, basketball. My hope is that we avenge the game in Assembly Hall earlier in the year and send Crean & Co. a lovely flower basket as they await their NIT fate.
On Sunday, I will probably do my taxes since I have been putting that off for forever basically, and as I normally owe a little, I put it off with good reason. Yeah, I could change my deductions, but I get bonuses that make up for the inconvenience of owing, so it sort of works out. In any case, while I am doing that, I'll probably start working on whole-season analysis of Michigan hoops too.
One other thing - in honor of a temporary return to 40-degree weather, I am also planning to grill this weekend....quite a bit actually.
Sounds like an episode of "Your Life vs. College Life" that used to be posted on "The M Zone" blog. Those were awesome. Because they were true. If only I would have known.
Go here, it will make you hate your life:

Happy Friday!
No wonder he was such a great defenseman. He took up half of the rink just by standing there.
Family,food. and booze..... Salud!
All 'round!
That drink comes with a meal!
Get one at Ike's in the MSP airport (any time) or downtown Minneapolis (but only on the weekends).
What am I drinking? COFFEE!
All day, though I guess on the bright side my weekend gets increased by 1/2 day. Sunday, I will just probably try to stop drooling and asking what day is it.
Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
Dude has flair!
Will be enjoying some beer this evening and looking forward to warmer weather. GO BLUE!
Not even losing a precious hour to the daylight savings deities can suppress my positivity. Bang on, I say!
Happiest of Fridays to all.
I'd like to send him off into the long, long off-season with a sour, whiny look on his face.
Hopefully some perch out of Lk. St. Clair tomorrow am. Making crawdad ettouffee with the bro-in-law and feasting/drinking Founders and rootbeer with his kids and mine on Sat evening, then the Midwest Flyfising Expo on Sunday.
Big fan of shrimp ettouffee myself. mmmm....ettouffee. /drools
/drools more
Are awesome. Get the roux just right and etouffee is a magical dish.
"Come here little boy. I've got something to show you during the next time out......"
You dirty mGrowOld man.
...and it was totally worth the wait!
Go Blue!
But, very few meetings today + BYOB place for dinner + being able to roll the windows down on the drive home? I've got to say
I look forward to a quiet weekend at home and doing nothing other than laying around with my children.

hoping the icers beat State. Then marathon training this weekend with a 20 mile run scheduled for Sunday.
Enjoying some bourbon and grilling out before my back surgery next week. Oh and watching with joy as Crean get's that smug grin wiped off his face Saturday night.
Whoo Hoo, Friday!!
My son is competing and I always enjoy watching. I'll have to watch the Indiana game when I get home. Here is the world record holder for average time.
Nice weather. Harpoon Long Thaws. Reggae Friday. Bang me!
Dead Man's Boots in honor of Jupiter Bowl and John Beilein
