Let the boycott continue

Well, I have skipped 23 of the 35 bowl games so far. Only 12 more to go. I think the toughest day will be today when the Rose and Fiesta Bowl games are played. After those are over, I know the total bowl game boycott will be a success!!!!

Bowl Game Boycott

I saw the craziest thing the other day. It was a playoff game for college football. I know it wasn't the highest division, but I had to cheer that at least this championship was being settled on the field. I can't wait for the FCS Championship game between Sam Houston and North Dakota.

Join me in a BOWL Game BOYCOTT. Money talks and my money wants a playoff, so until I get it I am simply going to skip the college football bowl games.

And yes, I am going to skip the Rose Bowl too, I have no interest whatsoever in a game that means absolutely nothing for any of the teams playing.

And finally for the record, I am cheering for Sam Houston St.

The Fix: Day 5

I am finishing up day 5 with no Mountain Dew. I was pretty grumpy for 3-4 days. I didn't cut soda altogether this week. I even had some Coca Cola. I fell better today though, and it will get easier to avoid Mountain Dew with each passing day. Eventually, I hope to eliminate soda altogether, except for certain special occasions. The stuff is just not good for your body.

5 days no dew. 5 months and 25 days to go.

A Mountain Dew Fix

I am addicted! It's sad, but true. I have tried to drop my dew habit many times, but now it is official. Day 1 of the Mountain Dew Fix was today. And, yes the pun was intended.

So, for the next 6 months I am going to blog about not drinking Mountain Dew. Yes, all of it. No Baja Blast, Code Red, or the Retro Sugar original allowed. It is time. I want to quit the habit, and see how dropping the dew will effect my weight loss and life in general. So, here it goes.


Day One:

Well, day one is always easy. I can go a day without Mountain Dew. I usually do that every Sunday anyway. It is a non-event really. the real business of this will happen over the next couple of weeks and months. So stay tuned, if you want, and if not well I am doing this anyways.

The Mountain Dew Fix began today.

10 Wonderful Years !!!

Darci and I celebrated our tenth anniversary today. (the actual day of our anniversary is October 27th) I can't believe it has been ten years. It has been a fun journey. We have lived in California, Oregon, and Texas. We have been blessed with 4 healthy, smart, and happy children. They are obnoxious too, but I guess that comes from the offspring of two very stubborn and independent people. I told Darci that I wouldn't change a thing.

We spent the day shopping for Halloween costumes. It was a lot of fun. It reminds me of a story that happened after our honeymoon. We went in to a grocery store on Halloween Day, but we actually didn't know it was Halloween, because of the honeymoon and everything. One of the first people I saw was a man dressed in drag. I just figured he was cross dressing. We were afterall, at the beach in Southern Oregon. As we walked through the grocery store we saw witches, nurses, goblins, etc.. After several minutes one of us finally realized what day it was. We had quite the laugh.


Happy Anniversary Darci!!! I love you. Ben
