Recap and Review

It is Monday morning and I am sitting in the airport waiting out a delay…again. I wonder why the one flight that was on time (early) was when I was running late. I had a fun weekend with my sister. We hit Oktoberfest Saturday night. For the 3rd time in a row, I missed the Chicken Dance. This year it was led by the popular children’s television starts Uncle Willy and Windy.

Anyway, I did get to eat a lot and drink some great beers. I had a brat that can only be described by its picture, so check it out. (Insert all nasty innuendo here – we all did) My sister’s friend, BJ, put roasted almonds in our 1st beers – so we could have a sweet snack at the end of our beer. My sister also made friends with a lady, um, actually a man dressed as a lady – there is a visual needed for this one as well. There was a lot of lederhosen, chicken hats and drunken people--my kind of Saturday night.

Sunday was low-key. My sister was a little hung over, I had no voice and we were both tired. We had brunch with her boyfriend and then went to a great farmer’s market to pick up some marinated chicken. After that it was couch time and the NFL. My sister cheers for the 3 B’s – Bears, Browns and Bengals. This is what happens when you live in Ohio for 7 years. All 3 did quite well. In fact the Bears and the Bengals trounced their opponents. I believe that CNN went so far as to say that the Bears “crushed” the Detroit Lions. After marathon football, we rounded out the evening with a nice dinner among friends. The night came to a close with my sister and I hanging out on the couch watching Crossing Jordan and Law and Order.

All in all, it was a great weekend. I was glad to see my sister (bummed that I was sick). The delay was nice though, because just as she dropped me off, I called to tell her about my flight and she turned around. We had a nice breakfast (microwave breakfast sandwiches) and watched CNN and The Price is Right--strange, but true.
