"We are young"

Posts are becoming more and more infrequent it seems. I used to be so committed that it drove me nuts to miss one day. Go back a year or so, and you might notice that there's about 30 posts a month.

The weekend was excellent, for the most part. Lisa and I decided to ring fall in by visiting the Yates Cider Mill in Rochester Hills for an afternoon. Unfortunately, what promised to be a place to enjoy a petting zoo, fresh apple cider and fresh fudge was just that, but in about a 1/2 acre space. Translation: great place for about 30 minutes...but I'm sure we'll enjoy that Cider for a good while.

Like our friend, Wilbe, Lisa and I saw the movie The Black Dahlia today. And like our friend Wilbe we did not enjoy it too much. Lisa was bored the whole time and hated it. I thought the last 30 minutes was interesting, but I could not recommend it. After popcorn and a soda, that was the worst $30 spent since I bought two copies of the Paris Hilton CD. (I actually only bought one, for the record.)

What else is going on in BergWorld.
  • Well, Lost season 2 is so far disappointing, but I dare not give up on it.
  • Lisa just spruced up a frozen pizza so that it tasted home made and was delightful.
  • I ellipticized to the tune of 8.5 miles this weekend, which seems good.
  • We found out that the Troy mall does not in fact have a Puma store, but it did have a place to buy the brand new Pete Yorn album.
  • If you grocery shop at Meijers on a Sunday, and Meijers is the only good grocery store around, prepare to find many empty shelves where the food you would like to purchase should be. (It's important to note that I did still get my two bags of marshmallows.)
  • Fresh off a Continental US tour, Brian BN Roberson will be in Detroit tomorrow for 4 hours, but we will unfortunately not be able to visit him. Boooo..........(bs).

I just got caught up on your blog and I must say I enjoy it. You better be careful on those winter commutes to work. Black ice is bad news I lost one very good friend to it so you and lisa better drive safe. You two take care.

Dear berg,
I think about you each day as I see Novi Michigan on the map as I plan trucks to go all over Detroit. I hope my trucks don't ever accidently run you over.
