Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes are the majority of my lunch this week.
Note to self: Have a good snack plan.
(#mboct Day 3/30)
A fresh college football Saturday - this one at home.
Still thinking about Michigan State after dark last week, though.
(Day 2 of #mboct)
We found our way out eventually, though.
Got a touch lost in a corn maze this evening.
Now that I’m not in engineering, I can name a git branch “at-the-coco-coco-kibana” and not feel the least bit guilty about it.

Even before the pandemic, it had been far too long since I went to Shapiro’s Delicatessen here in Indy.
Was a great father-son lunch today as I introduced Benjamin to the Rueben.
Next up for The Quest.
September 25, 2021:
12pm FIU at Central Michigan 7pm Nebraska at Michigan State
Best combo out of five (!) home games in the state of Michigan that day.
I tend to interpret “Only in theaters” these days as “Welp. Won’t see that until later.”
Closed out the long weekend in Chicago with more walking around, a fountain, a big shiny bean, and the Cubbies with my family and a few friends.
A few photos from walking around and gawking at buildings in downtown Chicago today.
Bonus points to those who can identify both.
A few notes from tonight’s experience:
- Missed kickoff because of traffic
- Parked on a golf course
- Healthy MSU contingent
- The above all seems 👍
- An opportunity to sing the WVU-approved lyrics to “Sweet Caroline” on one of these trips gets some odd looks, but is always a treat
From the shores of Lake Michigan, greetings from Ryan Field for Michigan State at Northwestern.
And my 20th stadium of The Quest.
These trips are always better when the home team wins.
Congrats Illinois Football Team.
And a Happy Scott Frost Day to you and yours!

Halftime at the kickoff for the 2021 college football season with Nebraska at Illinois.
And my 19th visit of 130.

18 of 130: The Quest to see every FBS team
Sunday, August 22, 2021
I grew up in my home state of West Virginia around college football. Each fall was spent either listening to the Mountaineers on hunting trips or traveling up to Morgantown for games. After a while, I started going to road games as well here and there. Later on, I started my career in sports departments of small West Virginia newspapers in Parkersburg and Clarksburg - eventually covering Marshall when Byron Leftwich was their quarterback.
Working on consolidating my old Jekyll blog into my micro.blog blog today.
I have had an urge to write some things for a while now and the upkeep on that old one gets in the way.
We’ve lived in our house for nearly 13 years now. In that time, we’ve never hosted anyone that wasn’t family.
I might have expelled some pent up hosting for tonight’s PFA meeting.
I think I’m getting better at this bread baking thing … 🥖
My quest to see a home game at every FBS football team is back on after taking year off for pandemic.
Ticket in hand to kick off the season with the first game of the season:
Nebraska at Illinois, August 28, Noon Central
Happy Fourth!
I celebrated of a sort by making everything you see here:
- Fresh tagliatelle
- Ragu Bolognese
- Bread
Now, to nap!
