I admit that sometimes I am not the easiest person to keep track of. Jetting off to here and there; I am never at home by my phone. Hopefully you can keep up to date with these notes. --Dan

Class Reunion

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

It is hard to believe that it is time for my high school reunion, as time seems to have past so fast. I am a firm believer in having a fun time, so I through a pre-party bash at my house would fit the bill! I assigned everyone a little task and we […]

Global Domination

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

It was Friday night, so what better to do than take over the world! Everyone came over to my house to give it a try. The new Risk boards come with a slimmed down version of the rule book. We played by the 1980 Risk rules, with all the optional rules for […]

Davy Works at Staples

Friday, November 26th, 2004

Ben, Steve, and I watched some more episodes of Deadwood last night. Ben and I had the bright idea to go out shopping at 6am Friday morning. Arriving promptly at 6, we stood at the very back of the line to get into the store. The doors opened and everyone rushed in. […]

This weekend was Trisha’s birthday, so I took her out on the town to celebrate. We drove to Madison Saturday morning and met up with Jeremy. One of my favorite bars, the Great Dane, was celebrating its tenth anniversary this weekend so we stopped in for lunch. We played pool and air […]

Hometown Charm

Friday, November 12th, 2004

I drove home to Stevens Point Thursday after classes were done for the week. Friday I went out to dinner at a new place near Skipp’s. The Middletown Grill and Tavern (formerly Rhody’s) was a polite hometown bar and grill style joint. The chairs and tables were plain, the menu’s pretty basic […]

A winning hand

Friday, November 5th, 2004

Jeremy came up to Minneapolis to see my new place, and was just in time for the bi-weekly poker night! We had a good turnout with Jeremy, Steve, Raygor, Stefan, the two Chrises, and I vying for the tournament pot. After a long dry spell, I finally won! Raygor believes I never […]
