2009 Goal update

As most of you know, I started this blog w/ my original posting of my lofty goals for 2009. I then added the "Breaking 80" goal in April once I got the golf bug. And a quick update...

Goal #1 - Drink scotch/whiskey on the rocks, and enjoy it. DONE

It took a lot of practice, but I did it and can now enjoy a "drink" w/o having to suck it up and drink it. Having done this, I've also realized that I'd rather just drink beer...so don't get the wrong impression here. I'm not sitting in my chair every night drinking whiskey and smoking cigars. The point is though that I now could do it!

Goal #2 - Update the blog weekly. FAILED

Tax season made it tough and just being active in the summer hasn't helped. However, I did achieve Goal 2A, which was to have people other than my family read. I've liked the friends that have gotten involved w/ leaving comments....thanks for reaffirming that I'm not wasting my time.

Goal #3 - Break 80 on the golf course DONE!!!

August 14, 2009, I shot a 79 on the Sycamore course at Eagle Creek golf course. We played from the whites and its only about 6100 yds, but it counts! These days I'm typically playing from the blue tees at most courses anywhere from 6300 - 6700 yds. I backed it up this past friday w/ an 82 at Dye's Walk, which I had never played before. So, the golf game is going well right now.

Quick update on my poll question about which Blue Colts jersey I should buy. Thanks for all your votes and I've narrowed it down to 3 individuals: Reggie Wayne, Donald Brown, and Kelvin Hayden. I realize I didn't even put Hayden on the poll, but I think this is who I'm leaning towards. I love DB's and he just signed a 5 year deal....now if I can just find one!

Went to Cincinnati last night for the professional tennis tournament and saw Rafael Nadal & Novak Djokovic play. These are two of the top 5 players in the world for those of you who aren't huge tennis fans. Djokovic beat Rafa relatively easily, 6-1, 6-4. Fun match and good to see Novak play so well. I didn't care who won....I really just wanted to see a 3rd set. Also so the #1 doubles team in the world play (Bryan brothers).

Alright, big week this upcoming week, mainly because my fantasy football drafts start up tonight at Scott's house. I then have my work draft a week from monday. Love football season. Speaking of football, went to the Colts 2nd preseason game, so I was finally able to see my season ticket seats that I have w/ Dave. Very good seats in the corner of the end zone. Unfortunately I won't be sitting in these seats the rest of the year as I sold this pair of tickets for every game already, but it's ok...I still have my ticket w/ Adam on the other end of the stadium w/ basically the same vantage point.

Video of the week Seriously, how do you build a $1.2 BILLION stadium and not get this right? Well done...

Video #2 - for you college football fans, if you did not see this, you need to check it out. LET'S GO IRISH!!!! (Lou is possibly crazy)
