the knot

i got myself a little treat tonight...

school has started and I had a good summer, I kinda think I deserve it.

my favorite is the contract on the back:

"By cracking this seal of The Knot you accept that drinking is never to be taken lightly

and promise to act in a responsible fashion - not like some blithering idiot. You promise

to drink The Knot straight up in a proper shot glass, rather than mixing it in some sort

of novelty, tiny umbrella, fruit fiasco. And finally, you vow that you will never drink to

anything you are not prepared to go through with. If, in any way, you are not willing to abide by these conditions, by all means, please refrain from opening this bottle".

St Norbert starts off the school year with a 'bang'

My awesome wife, who happens to be my best friend, and also my colleague in our new business venture, is attending St. Norbert college in DePere, Wi. It's a kickin' private school, and she's pretty fond of it. We went to the annual "welcoming the freshman" picnic. Free food, fireworks, and a cover band: Boogie and the yo-yo's.

I'm not a big fan of cover bands, but they lit the place up with a couple of Journey covers.

The launch pad.

The students chillin' out.

And the explosives...

More chillin' by the Fox River.

The crowd gettin' a little rowdy.

My wife, with a couple friends. She's the one with the glasses.

Rockin' out.

And the rockets red glare.

Kinda looks like a war photo...
