I am not going to fill this post with Wings pics, but I did get a few really good shots I want to share.

So one of the first things I got to do for the holiday season was go to a Red Wings game.  Thanks to Brian for scoring tickets.

Go Wings !

Okay, here is Part II.  Yes, I know I am trailing Mike by 2 games even as I set up the spreadsheet for Part II.  But I feel like I can make up some ground here and get back to even by January 1st. 

Enjoy the games!  The picks are after the jump.

The Joy of Parenting here in Metro D

2009 December 22

So the last few months have been very busy, with lots of activities around this household.  Among them are a visit to see Santa.  He conveniently showed up at Vickie’s work corporate holiday party.  How odd.  And by “odd”, I mean totally expected and scheduled in advance.

Also, we had a visit from a giant man-eating tiger !!!…………………….(graphic disturbing picture after the jump)

Greetings, and welcome to Mike and Andy’s Bowl-A-Palooza, part I.  

For anybody new to my blog during College Football Season, I am in year 2 of Andy’s Fearless College Football Picks, which is a bi-weekly post.  However, I went mano – a mano vs. my brother Mike a few weeks back to see who is the better prognosticator…..and lost.  After Mike won the competition in picking all the Big Ten games that week a few weeks ago (even though I correctly predicted Northwestern upsetting Iowa, I still found a way to lose), I gave Mike free reign over the football picks.

More after the break (click on Read More  below).
