Must be nice. I'm on my couch in Allen Park Michigan with a snoreing, gassy dog.
Have a blast and Happy New Year
January 1st, 2016 at 6:13 PM ^
Similar situation here, but I say just have fun with what ya got. For example, you could give your dog a Latin name. I suggest Gasseus Maximus.
January 1st, 2016 at 6:16 PM ^
Haha actually went with Obi.
Got him the year Obi Ezeh looked like the next great Michigan LB.

I too am on my couch in Allen Park with a soring, gassy dog.
Honey, I never knew you were on MGoBlog?

3 week vacation? Damn.
January 1st, 2016 at 6:15 PM ^
Didn't you see the part where his friend works for Google and has a concierge to hook them up with personal time bar reservations? These gentlemen come back to work when they're good and ready. And not a fortnight before.

Not that surprising. I do it every year at Christmas. Save up those vacation hours all year, only take a couple days in August for family reunion and 1-2 days a month when I am maxed out and I gotta "use them or lose them."

I was always worried that if work did not need me for 3 weeks, they might realize that they don't need me at all.
January 1st, 2016 at 6:10 PM ^
We won't settle for anything short of global domination. Good job, OP and friends! Your work is well appreciated . . .

Go Blue!
I was on a flight with a colleague who graduated from msu. he was one row behind me. I started chatting with the gentleman next to me. turns out he is from the UP and is a huge Michigan fan. the other guy behind me and next to my colleague overheard and said he graduated from Michigan, also. we ribbed my buddy a little bit before takeoff. love our Michigan network.

I am always amazed at how many Michigan grads/fans etc that I meet no matter where I go..I recently (this year) had a 7 week gig at the Great Barrier Reef and I thought Ill see no Wolverines here...WRONG...I ran into M fans even out there....On a hour and half boat ride out to the reef I sat next to a whole family of M fans..it was Great...I also had a weekend gig up at Boyne Mtn where the guest speaker was John U Bacon...I worked with him that weekend and that man knows EVERYTHING Michigan..We sepnt alot of time chatting all things Michigan....respect him alot
January 1st, 2016 at 6:42 PM ^
Yup, same here. I've met Michigan fans all over the world (Peru, Netherlands and New Zealand off the top of my head).
January 1st, 2016 at 7:07 PM ^
Paris, London, and Tahiti for me.
January 1st, 2016 at 7:59 PM ^
UK, Munich and Austria for me.
See if I can find any in Belgium and Amsterdam next week.

I too was in Australia this summer. Got a go Blue from a family when I was at the Great Barrier Reef (Port Douglas) and got two Go Blues from current Michigan students in Sydney.
January 1st, 2016 at 9:00 PM ^
And I got a Go Blue while wearing a Michigan sweatshirt in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have run into Michigan fans in Tanzania and multiple European countries.
January 1st, 2016 at 9:25 PM ^
Thats where I was too Pt Douglas...at the Pullman Resort...I loved it there..I bet we went to the same location at the Reef...Quicksilver boat I think it was called

But MSU is elite and Michigan isn't.
January 1st, 2016 at 8:51 PM ^
Losing 38-0? Beating Iowa, Michigan and OSU on last-second plays? OSU is elite. Sparty isn't.
January 1st, 2016 at 6:50 PM ^
california cantina in providencia? i watched the women's world cup championship there this past summer while working in santiago. also currently in chile but in la serena. got my ipad hooked up to the tv using a umich vpn, fios account, and a pretty solid internet connection to watch the game.

I've had the opportunity over the years to wear a Michigan hat, shirt and other gear in several countries (as well as about 35 states right here, and of course all over my home state of Michigan) and I don't think there is a place where I have not gotten a "Go Blue!" from some corner of the scene before me at the time, whether I see the person or not. The scope and reach of the University Of Michigan truly is a neat thing to behold when you travel and wear those colors proudly.
January 1st, 2016 at 9:08 PM ^
I remember two years ago I was at Fort Morgan near Mobile, Alabama. It's a small fort isolated from most anything, and I thought to myself, how strange would it be to see a Michigan fan right now. Sure enough, ten minutes later a man in a Michigan shirt (a grad from Michigan) gives me a Go Blue. And I don't think I've ever been in an airport and not heard a Go Blue.

while deployed in the Navy. Watching Michigan football in Singapore with the UM Singapore Alumni Club. Freaking awesome. It's Great to be.......
January 1st, 2016 at 9:34 PM ^
I used to catch the games with them too when in Singapore. its a pretty big club and there's some real dedication to get up for a 3am Sunday morning game!

that flag needs to be planted on the top of Cerro Aconcagua.
OT: Coming back to the cold and much short days of North American winter is going to suck. It is tougher than any jet lag I have ever dealt with.
January 1st, 2016 at 11:17 PM ^
Twice this year.

for the inevitable "where to watch the game in Santiago" query next fall.
