After a few years of pushing by of all people, my wife, I've gotten back into watching football for the past 2 years.  Always been a Packers fan.  So today, having a VERY small get together with a friend of mine and his wife.  Just making up some burger, hot dogs, meatballs, mosticolli and having chips and dip.  I'm pretty excited about the game and waiting for the Packers to take it all.  I do hope that it's somewhat of a good game and not a blow out....by either side.  Nothing worse than watching a boring superbowl. 

I hope everyone is having a great day!  Go Pack Go! 

Since I've been semi away for a while, I have noticed that there are a TON of new people on the site.  Something that happens when you're away for a while.  Many of the people have changed, some have gone, some old names are still around, but I look at the blogs and the posts and I see mostly new people.  So, I figured I'd re-introduce myself for those that care or bother to read..........those that know me.........just skip this blog all together.

Well, I have finally found a little extra time in my life and decided to start gaming again.....at least a little.  I've been playing CODBO almost every night for at least 2 hours.  It's given me the ability to blow off a little extra steam which is good.  I am not too fond of those games where I completely get obliterated as I don't know the maps and haven't spent THAT much time learning them.  Almost builds up more steam.  I do find the wager games pretty fun though.  Everyone there is pretty much on equal grounds.  Also, when I really get pissed, I just get into a team deathmatch in prac

The wife and I were working on things.......until today I think.  To make a long story short..........

Well, I'm moving back to Iowa.  I survived another round of lay-offs and I'm still alive.  Not much more to say than that. 

Oh yeah, one more thing, Operation Santa Claus.  Every year my wife collects donations and sents stockings filled with goodies over to a unit in Iraq for Christmas.  If you'd like to read more and donate, please check out the following link:  http://www.gymbohaven.com/operationsantaclaus2010.htm

Thanks everyone!

I'll start off with Halo Reach.  Beat it last night on Legendary by myself in less than 20 hours from what it says.  Not bad for a novice gamer like me.  Now just need to do it on co-op with someone.  Some spots seem like they'd be a lot of fun with more than just me.  I am finding it a lot of fun......should get me back into multiplayer over winter at least till I can work on my Rambler again.
