It was a great way to think of the bye week, which for us is basically the weekend when we aren't watching the Michigan game religiously.

This year our to-do list is already longer than will get accomplilshed (Painting! Shopping! An architecture boat tour!) Who else is going to be too busy this bye week?

Nooner this Saturday!

Yes, toe meets leather at noon as WTKA will again rebroadcast a classic Bob Ufer MEEECHIGAN Football game, this one from exactly 39 years earlier (10/15/77) vs Wisconsin.

Earlier today I tweeted WTKA inquiring about this, just got my answer a short while ago.

No, or they wouldn't have classes, books, and breastfeeding consultants. There are plenty of ways to do it wrong and only one way to do it right. Not to mention that there are various issues that the baby can have that can cause their own complications.

 

Or so I've been told anyway. Guess we'll see on Saturday.

We're also past the point in civilization where you need to rely on trial and error for a great many things. When I can save my wife pain and discomfort (thereby saving myself pain and discomfort) by sitting through a class I'll do it. I'll assume you're not married... as Yoda stated "much to learn, you still have."

My wife's friend was nice enough to plan her fall wedding during the bye week. So we will be having a great time at a beautiful fall wedding. Open bar so we all win.

Same here. Wedding this weekend. My friends have learned not to schedule important things they'd like me to attend on Saturdays in the fall unless it's during the bye week.

I'm not joking when my buddy called me back in April and asked when Michigan's bye week is.

no 'honey do' list as we got the corn harvested and we aren't 'harvesting' the cattle until next month.    in effect, there is no such thing as wife day at the XM house, but not because she is not worthy of the honor, but because we are way busy anyway.

I really don't enjoy apple picking, cider mills, or really anything related to that activity. My girlfriend has been begging me to go for 2 years. I usually spend 12 hours per day on Saturday and Sunday during football season.

It's time for me to pay up. Garage cleaning, apple orchard, AND her friends having a wine tasting party at night Saturday. I'm not a religious man, but please pray for me.
