August Already?

The summer has been flying by! Here's a summary of our past week...
Sunday afternoon we went to see the movie Swing Vote in it's opening weekend. Although it's true that Kevin Costner never disappoints, this is probably one to wait to rent for those of you with interest in seeing it. A cute movie, but perhaps a bit predictable.
Monday evening we took in a Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game at Haymarket Park with some of the American Cancer Society staff. The shade from sitting in a suite sure helped keep us cool in spite of a near 100 degree day (still in the 90's that night). We witnessed 13 runs in an exciting second inning (9 of which were Saltdog runs). The Saltdogs beat the Wichita Wingnuts, 11-6.
Thursday started shortly after 5:00am for Mike as he headed to an early morning colon cancer research task force meeting in Omaha and his day ended in the press box at Memorial Stadium for a "Stay in the Game" event to kick-off a colon cancer awareness campaign with the Husker Sports Network.
Friday night we headed to Lincoln's annual Ribfest event in downtown Lincoln. We beat the crowd by arriving before 6:00pm. We chose to eat BBQ ribs/brisket/pork from an "Ausome Aussie" Australian-themed vendor. Mike managed to keep his shirt BBQ-free! (Unfortunately, he did not fare as with the ice cream he had on the way home.)
