W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N!
I feel that there is no better way to begin this blog entry than with the ingenious lyrics of the song composed by Patti and Dan today about our current location:
"Weeeelllllllllllllllllllllll... W-i-s; c-o-n; s-i-n. That's the way you spell Wisconsin."
Brilliant. Coming soon: verses!
I would also like to take this opportunity to really highlight the talents of our HBC Northinators, because, as you can see, they are many, and during the 10 hours we spend on a bike, they have really begun to shine. With this, I shall also increase the ridiculousness and absurdity of our blog, because that is what blogs are for.
First, I would like to recognize the great skill exhibited in the intense and elite level 1 hour game of 'can't touch the ground tag' by everyone except for Tony, who was defeated by the monkey bars--understandably. Next, to all of those who engaged in the 'see how much ice cream you can eat without getting sick on your bike' contest, congratulations. Your commitment to ice cream is exemplified by your sitting outside the ice cream parlor until it opened early for you at 11am. True champs. Finally, I would like to recognize the ability of this group to develop, display, and disgust people with hideous tan lines. This was best reflected when a group of highschoolers laughed at the sight of us during our beach volleyball tournament. This could also reflect our lack of volleyball skills, but that is irrelevant. The people who were on the winning team is also irrelevant.
Other exciting things of the past few days include:
-THE MOST AMAZING LUNCH STOP AT THE MOST AMAZING UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME! And there is no bias in that statement.
-Crossing into Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin without ever seeing a sign--fulfilling.
-Matt Young's acoustic improvisational performance of a song about how he hates biking for an audience of parishioners' children. They nicknamed him "Sassy." Matt Young will now only be referred to in this blog as Sassy.
-Biking on a freshly paved, pot-hole free, and flat road with a tail wind! for a total of maybe 10 minutes.
With the rate we are biking, laughing, and eating, I think some people are looking forward to the possibility of a dull moment once we get further west. ha. We'll keep you posted.
