So i dont know what it is about the mid-west, but the coldest experiences i've EVER had in my life have taken place in the midwest.  Prior to this past week, the coldest i remember being was   in Orange City, Iowa... -4 degrees.  We slaughtered that record in Minnesota... with a painful (and completely unnecessary) -11 degrees.  don't believe me?

 

We obviously got out of there as quickly as possible... i mean, what GOOD is cold weather, anyway?  I'm trying to figure out the POINT.  I mean, i understand it to a certain degree- like to the degree that it takes to get snow... but beyond that, do we REALLY need it THAT cold?

I guess the other good thing about cold weather is it makes being INSIDE that much sweeter...especially on super bowl sunday. It also makes Rufus's Super- Secret chicken Chili even more amazing then it already is.

Someone mentioned that Rufus looks like David Arquette the other day, and now, looking at this picture up next to David Arquette,  i think the guy was right.

So, my buddy Bradley opened up his house to us in Des Moines and we invited the Alternate Routes guys over and we had a little Super Bowl Party. Timmy had the idea to make the game a little more interesting, and guess who won both the half time and the final draws?

yep. and as you can imagine, since i was the guy drawing the numbers,  there were conspiracy accusations being flung left and right.

i won fair and square.

we were all excited about the Colts big V. Probably because we think Peyton Manning is the Man (ning).  I guess Rufus wasn't uber-stoked, but he kinda decided at last-minute to root for the Bears, so it doesn't count.

After the game, we all sat around and had a 5 hour jam sesh. It was amazing.  The Routes love them some jam seshes and it's so refreshing. They are the real deal, folks.

There were more g-strings in that room than at a dance club... what?

All for now- we're piling up miles on the van. Funny how 99% of our  life is being lived in this thing, but everyone else only sees the 1%  lived on the stage.  that's what the blog is for, i guess...
