You know what else is intense?....camping

Fourteen days between is long enough!!

I hear my fans screaming and crying from my balcony of triumph and say, "You're correct, sir." Summer is in full swing here in central Indiana as the sun is out, the air is hot and the wife is glowing...wait, that's not what I want at all...she's just looking beautiful (found out she's reading the blog so I think that earns me two bonus points right there..boo yah). You know it must be summer if I'm being athletic at all. Been shooting hoops nearly every morning after a hearty bowl of Trix and then the Mrs. and I have been spotted on tennis courts on more than one occasion (two, if you're counting).

And then today, I even hit the links as I grabbed a bucket of balls and smacked a few on the driving range. I only the missed the ball like 5 times!! I know! You can cheer me, it's OK, you're in a safe place here. I'm not actually doing the driving range for fun, it's because I'm heading to Cumberland Lake with the wife's family for a 4-day vacation of fun (swimming), excitement (bear hunting), music (Kumbaya around the fire) and disaster (golf). I've only played a round of golf once in my life and that should be all I'm allowed to ever do. But her fam wants to go so I'm down with it. The golf clubs I own are rediculously old (my woods are true to the word, they are really woods). So I bought a $20 driver and $20 #3 wood to help out a little and I think my game just improved 93.7 percent. Anyways, the camping trip should be blast as I really need a break from my non-employment summer. Whew, playing Mario Kart Wii everyday is really starting to take its toll on my body. Enough with the jabber...on to the LINKS!!!!

It's Beetles...with an A
So the Guitar Hero and Rock Band stuff is on hold right now as they try to figure a way to make the most money from the situation, but while they're snoozing and loozing, Bloomingdales is dominating. The store just bought the rights to make a bunch of Beatle t-shirts and they will also produce a limited edition (as in only 100 made) Beatle iPod, which is have the entire Beatle song catalog on the iPod. Too bad I have no idea what or where a Bloomingdales is. C'mon Kmart, step up!!!

EDIT: Quick addition to this blog as I just came across this announcement that a special collector's edition Beatles Monopoly game will be released some time in August. Here's a link to a site that is already accepting pre-orders for the game and here's a link to another site that contains the listings of what Beatles related item represents each square. Check back later for more details!

2 minutes...2-ah
In Pacer news, well, not much happening. Unless yer signing big free agents right now, the NBA season hits a lull until October. So for a slow news day, here's a Indy report on ticket sales and how the Pacers are one of the only professional franchises not raising tix prices this year. I guess you average a league-worst attendance average, you can't really raise prices. Good thinking Pacer People!!!

You tube...no, you're a tube
I found this video minutes after posting the "I am the Walrus" music video as my you tube post of the day. This was too good to pass up with the whole golf theme, so The Beatles will have to wait for another day...enjoy!
