Barnstorming

We're on a mission to get to as many town festivals and county fairs as possible this Fall. It seems that Owen has a nearly-unquenchable desire for rotatory carnival rides and fried dough.Daddy went three rounds at the 'throw baseballs at beer bottles' stand without breaking a single bottle.

Speaking of which, I won't pretend to have not seen Jay Cutler's inauspicious debut last night for Da Bears. I'm going to look on the bright side here which is to say the offense was in sync most of the second half and Cutler looked pretty sharp. He threw four picks and the Bears were still winning with 3 mins to go. That's impressive -- just ask the Panthers.
