4-2 in Big Ten Play…Go Figure...

Row 33, Section 217 at The Bank

So, if you ever wanted to know what the view is like from the top row (handicapped seating at the top of the stadium) - well, there it is.

Robin F and I rode our bikes there (from opposite parts of the city).  We made it through part of the third quarter before the overall chill of a 15-23 mph wind made us sufficiently cold that we thought it best to head home.

I borrowed Karyl's bike, which has toe clips, and I was one tired puppy when I got home.

The big story (I have buried the lead) is that the Gophers won their fourth game in a row, defeating Penn State, 24-10.  This is the first time since 1973 that the Gophers have won four games in a row.  We have a bye next week, and then the Wisconsin badgers roll in to play for the Ax.  One can only dream….

Gophers Surprise Indiana...

4910 pounds

So every once an awhile there are one of those days where the kindness of people is overwhelming…

Last year we raised 1,800 pounds of food for "We Scare Hunger".  We challenged our school to raise a ton this year.

This morning I went to Rainbow Foods to get my share of the food and then I got to school and went to bus duty.  One of the buses pulls up and a student tells me that the driver wants to talk to me.  "Your gonna need the wagon."  Some seventh grade girl had six bags of groceries…and student after student kept getting off the bus with a bag here and a bag there.  All told the middle school brought in 4,910 and ten pounds of food.

Very cool

The school as a hole we raised 6,500 pounds of food.

Nice job gang.
