Crazy dust storm in Australia

I got a power tool, yes I do

Power... Can you dig it
Power.... come and get it
Power.... keep it comin
Power.... feel it hummin

I know it's creepy when written like that, but those New Duncan Imperials lyrics run through my head all day.

Mandi and Andy's Wedding, Beaver Creek Colorado

Sunrise at O'hare 

Laura and I followed Nat, Dudes, Molly and Reedo to Idaho Springs where we met Ryan and Jessica for a super lunch.

Andy making sure his tux felt right

For some reason the musical entertainment tried on tuxes with us

Laura and I checked into our suite and were quite pleased.  This was the view from our balcony.  The bridge is for skiers to use to access their accommodations. 

Friday morning we took a walk around the village and the base area

Nat, Veronica, and Laura cruising the village

In a few months this will be ice

Muppets: Temptation and Hawaiian War Chant

This was posted on Mgoblog in honor of Michigan's victory over Notre Dame this afternoon.

I forgot how awesome the Muppets are. Eloise, I think you would really like these videos, especially the second one. These songs are often played by the Michigan Marching Band. Here are the Muppets with their versions.
