Best Type O ever
I made the best type O today. I was working on a Trust part of which I was retyping from an older version - When I ran spell check - I had to laugh out loud when it was revealed that I had spelled "hereinafter" "beerinafter" - I think almost all legal documents should include this term going forward - at the very least our tailgates should.
Diesel Update (yes, it's time to start planning)
per the tailgating coordinator...
All,
The date for Blue-White weekend has been confirmed. Our guess was correct, it is April 22nd, 2006.
To that end, I also have confirmed reservations for all of the 2006 football games. If you'd like a spot, please contact me directly. It's about $50/per weekend. If you already have a spot, you've already received an email from me.
Full tailgate schedule for 2006:
April 22nd, 2006 Blue-White Weekend
Sept 30th, 2006 Northwestern (Oktoberfest tailgate)
Oct 21st, 2006 Illinois (Homecoming)

not that I want any bad karma
BUT - Dena send me this photo from the Rose Bowl with the following prose....
Cheerleading and tumbling lessons and camps since age 3:
$30,000
Annual cost of attending USC:
$25,000
Annual cost for staying just the right shade of blonde:
$10,000
Cheering when the other team (Texas) scores:
Priceless
Of course, I contend that the USC song girls never tumble. Golly she looks like Cheerleader Barbie.

Yeah! Penn State wins the Orange Bowl
My goodness, what a game!!! The Lions outlasted the Florida State Seminoles to win the 2006 Orange Bowl in TRIPLE overtime!!!
We had a great night - I'm not sure that the neighbors did, but we did!
That morning, walking to work, I realized that if it had been a home game I'd already be at the stadium, setting up the tailgate. Interestingly, the weather was very reminiscent of the Ohio State tailgate (an 8pm start where we got to the parking lots at 6am) - rainy and cold - of course it is january. I think I know why I tailgate - because I went nuts with anticipation during the day.
We had a spread of ante pasta goodies from the famous DiBruno Brothers cheese shop - but the highlight was our pulled pork sandwiches - slow cooked all afternoon - served with pickles and coleslaw (again, interestingly, what we served at the OSU tailgate). Delicious! And Suzanne had especially squeezed orange juice (from florida oranges brought home by her parents) which we used in our specialty drink "orangebowlinas".
Picture with Roary taken after the game - we look pretty tired - but pretty darn happy too!

Future Lion?
I traveled to State College earlier this month (December) to speak at a seminar along with my boss, Kelly. Kelly's husband, 2 daughters, and Suzanne (of course) spent the day of the seminar touring town and campus. They got some great photos but these 2 of Katie were just too sweet not to share...

Message from Diesel Tailgating Coordinator
Per the Tailgating Coordinator...
Penn Staters and friends,
While we wait to cheer our boys on at the Orange Bowl, I would like to pass on some tailgating info for 2006 football season. While I would have liked to poll everyone like last year, the planners and I had a unanimous vote. The following tailgates were selected based on time of year, quality of opponent and special event weekends:
April 22nd, 2006 Blue-White Weekend (tentative date)
Sept 30th, 2006 Northwestern (Oktoberfest tailgate)
Oct 21st, 2006 Illinois (Homecoming)
I'm passing this along now so that you can be prepared to make hotel reservations. Hotel reservations for the regular season need to be made and PAID FOR IN FULL by the end of January (~$350/weekend/room). I would like to coordinate the effort, but cannot afford to front the cash for more than 1 room for the season. Please let me know if you'd be interested in helping out. I will be sending out a reminder in January.
As always, Madeline and Suzanne will be there for most homegames, if you happen to be in town for other weekends. Full 2006 schedule
Below are some interesting videos that I thought you'd get a kick out of.
Merry Christmas,
-Rob, Tailgating Coordinator

Those crazy Dieselers
They're building us a car mountable flagpole - it's a tailgating dream come true - seriously, it is. Rob sent along a sketch - it looks great! I love it that the flag is wavy - nice touch.
