What should I be?

For Halloween that is...what should I dress up as? I have to determine this in the next 4 weeks or so before the 3rd Annual Cook Halloween Bash. I also need to decide if i'm throwing the party on Friday night (Oct 30th) or Saturday night on Halloween. I see pros & cons to both.... Some of my costumes over the past few years have included:
  • Ghostbusters
  • The Pope
  • Pirate
  • Tony Montana (Scarface)
  • Daniel LaRusso (Karate Kid)

so I have a lot to live up too....

Played golf about a week ago and broke 80 again, so i've done it twice now. I shot 78 at Eagle Creek on the Pines course...i had previously shot a 79 at Eagle Creek, but on the Sycamore course. For you out of towners, Eagle Creek has 36 holes. This round was particularly sweet as I took an 8 on #9 to shoot a 42 on the front, but then fired a 36 on the back, and had a 10-footer for birdie on 18 to shoot a 35. I missed, but was definitely pleased w/ shooting even par on a nine.

Remember how I started 0-2 in my NFL picks this year after week 1 and i said I wasn't worried, well...i knew what I was talking about. I've rolled off 4 straight through Week 3 and am 4-2 on the season. Diddy is currently 3-2, w/ one of his games in process as I'm writing this posting.

I'm heading to Georgia next Thursday w/ Adam and Scott. We are going to Athens & staying w/ Craig. The weekend should be a good time as we are planning on scalping for the LSU/Georgia game. LSU is currently ranked #4 in the country and Georgia is ranked in the high-teens I believe. should be a good time....the Univ of Georgia is a beautiful campus and a prime tailgating venue. I believe there is a bar or two (or 100) right on campus, so we'll survive!

Some other random events of this past week

  • Dominated a whole chicken (w/ assistance from my mom). I'll explain - I bought a chicken from the grocery store (already cut up) and fried it up. I'd never made friend chicken before, so it was fun and was pretty tasty! I had to call Mom at the grocery store to see exactly what I would need to do it. I think some other people shopping were getting a kick out an obvious bachelor calling his mom to get cooking assistance!
  • Been on a few college campuses recruiting/interviewing for work. Very busy time of the year for me w/ recruiting. I've already done 20 interviews or so and have around 30-40 more in the next 7-10 days. I actually had a kid tell me one of his hobbies was reading Simmons and listening to the BS Report (ESPN columnist - see my link on the right for the Sportsguy)....unbelievable. I had to stop and explain this to Jim, one of my bosses who was conducting the interview w/ me, in the middle of the interview. I'm actually going to email this to Simmons to see if this is worthy of making his mailbag...
  • Ran a 5k yesterday morning for the Indianapolis Corporate Challenge. My goal was to do it under 23 minutes and finished around 22 min 30 seconds, so I was satisfied. About a 7:15/mile pace.
  • The Vegas trip for 2nd week of November is starting to take shape. It appears Scott is going to go, so still looking for a few more. Debating on going out Sat-Tues or Mon-Thurs. If we go Saturday, i'd have to sell my Colts tickets for that game, but I would get to spend all day Sunday in a Vegas sportsbook for all the NFL games, so that's intriguing. We'd also be in Vegas for the Main Event final table of the World Series of Poker...so that would be kinda fun to go to, seeing $9 million up for grabs!

Well I'd love to hear your thoughts/ideas for my Halloween costume. Until next time, go IRISH and Colts!

Because we can never get enough Peyton

  1. Have fun in the South!! SEC football is the best!

    And hit me up when you go to Vegas...I'm just a short drive away!

    Halloween - hm. I'll have to think about this one. Needs to be something really mind-blowing. And super embarrassing.

  2. I'm totally thinking 80s TV. Like MacGuyver with the leather flight coat, or a Chips character (too funny), or Magnum P.I. or someone like that.

    Or, here's another thought. If you want to get all gooped up and go all out -- Beetlejuice!

    GI Joe made a comeback. There's another idea.

    Okay, I have to stop. I'm on a roll now. Wait- do Conan O'Brien, but you'll need a wig. Haha! Just kiddin on that one.
