September 2, 200719 yr My vacation, the first in 8 years, was really for my parents (80 & 81). They are having touble traveling now, and Mrs. S and I decided that they needed to see the family one more time before they would be unable to travel. While on this trip I decided to try and meet some of my friends here on BGP since I would be in the area. I also found that I could see 2 of the most successful programs in the state while on this trip. My week of BGP sight-seeing ended with the game Friday night. It started a week earlier with a lunch time meeting with theguru and h.s.sportsrbest, then I got to help Ru and his gang at the Highlands/Ryle game. Wednesday - Mrs. S, my cousin, her husband, and I met Birdsfan and got to sample the cuisine at the Montgomery Inn Boat House. Thursday - Ru and I met again for lunch. Later, Birdsfan and Run To State met up with my clan at the Hofbrauhaus for some German refreshment. Finally, the BG/Trinity game Friday night, where I got to introduce Mrs. S to rockmom as well as peprock, and "friend", GetSlow, and the Hazes. BF was right there as well. (That's 3 nights in a row, guy. People may start talking.) If I didn't say it enough Friday night, I think your folks are great. And folks, BF is all that and a bag of chips in person. PurpleHaze and Mrs. PurpleHaze, it was an honor to finally met you in person. We have talked several times on the phone, but to meet you two is truly something special. Finally, I want to thank the fans at Ryle and Trinity for their hospitality. By the way, Marshall Stadium is one of the nicest high school stadiums I have ever been in.
September 2, 200719 yr Author Aww shux Swampy! Had a great time with you and yours all three days! But I figured you guys were pretty sick of me by Friday night. I think Mrs. Swampy actually was!
September 2, 200719 yr Author Sorry I missed you Swampy. Very glad to see you had a great trip... We tried to get you to the Hofbrau; but you were sort of tied up at UC.
September 2, 200719 yr Author One more, for those of you who hung around. Here's some people that were at the game. Sadly, I have no clue who they are.
September 2, 200719 yr Looks like a little birdy has the same Marshall stadium cup that I drink out of every day.
September 2, 200719 yr It certainly was a pleasure meeting you and your family at the Hofbrauhaus, Swampy. I had a great time and hope to see you all again real soon. :thumb:
September 2, 200719 yr Author Looks like a little birdy has the same Marshall stadium cup that I drink out of every day.I see the cup; but don't recognize the "cup holder". Hopefully, some more pictures today. I know you all just can't wait!
September 2, 200719 yr Author Here's some of those same people again. I think the guy on the far left is "Thing" from the Adams Family. :eek:

September 3, 200719 yr Here's someone everyone should know. Hint: He was not on Dancing with the Stars. And he appears to have misplaced his razor. For a month. Possibly two.:sssh:
September 3, 200719 yr Author You may start wearing green.:scared:I felt bad that I didn't have any T-gear. RM was going to outfit me with some at the game; but we didn't get a chance.
