Jeopardy!

Hey guys, I haven't updated this in awhile as I've been pretty busy. But last weekend the TV game show Jeopardy came into town, recording episodes for the upcoming college contest. Although I entered a lottery for tickets, I did not get selected. But my friend, Elaine, won four tickets, and she shared with me and some other friends in my class.

It was pretty cool, we were in the audience for the taping of three episodes. Even though they record three episodes in one day, they pretend each are on different day. The episodes will be airing sometime in May.

2004 MTU Winter Carnvial Skit

For winter carnival, our fraternity decided to participate in the skit event. It was alot of fun, we dressed up as cartoon characters and had a cool drum finale. I even got to play the guitar. I made most of the cartoon character outfits, we used construction paper on cardboard cutouts; it looked exactly like they do on the TV show. I am the cartoon character with the crazy blonde hair.



Due to our stellar performance we were awarded first place out of all the other participants. We preformed two showings, both to a 500 person audience.

Ice Removal in Houghton, Mi

This video is about 2 years old now. One of the houses that I lived in in Houghton had alot of ice from on top of the entry way of our house. So in February, when the weather was starting to get nicer, we decided to get rid of it, so it wouldn't accidentally hit us when we were coming in and out of the house. While it was a good idea, maybe the way we removed it needed a little revising. At least no one got hurt!

Hiking on Spring Break!

The other day I went hiking to Lake Road Park. The weather was warm even though there was still snow on the ground. It was nice to get outside again.

Birthday Gifts!

Here is a slide show of my 25th birthday gifts and a few easter treats.

I got a nice work-out T-shirt and a music soundtrack to "Once". Both are a good fit! Thanks Mum and Dad!

Spring Break, two years ago

About two years ago, I was volunteering with the Americorps program. During a book sale, a coworker and I dressed up in mascot costumes. My co-worker, Jillian, dressed up as Clifford while I was Geronimo Stilton. It was a good time. Thinking that it has been two years already stuns me, it is crazy how time has flown.

Joe Goes Rollerblading!

Over the summer I would go rollerblading across Madison. Madison has a nice selection of trails that spread over the city and out into the neighboring farm areas. These videos are about 10-15 miles out from my house.

Joe cooks Lasagna!

I tried my hand at making lasagna the other day.

I included sausage, feta cheese, mushrooms, yellow peppers, onions, and garlic. It turned out excellent.

It was devoured in no time.

Cross Country Sking

I broke out my Cross country skis for the first time this week. It was a good time, I've been out twice now and feel like I'm getting the hang of it. Here are a few pictures of me skiing out in a park a mile or two from my house.
