Finally Won

We have this bi-annual golf tourniment with all of the guys (16 of them) on my Mom's side of the family named the MRZ (named for family last names). I have been paricipating in it for about 7 years now, and I won for the 1st time. I am not a great golfer, but certianly not the worst in the field, I was just in a lot of bad situations. There was a joke going around about the Curse of Tim, and I am happy to report that the Curse of Tim is over. I would like to thank my teammates my uncle Sean and my brother Steven for helping me break the curse.

Rasure Commandments

I have been meaning to put these back on the website for quite some time. I am just to lazy to create a page on my real website and one click publishing is so much easier.

Raising 3 boys was probably not the easiest thing to do (especially if you knew me and my brothers). In the course of raising us, our parents would yell/slash sternly advise us to do. Sometimes those phrases were so ridiculous, that they had to be written down some where. Here is that place. I give you the Rasure Commandments (King James edition).

1. Thou shall not be mad dogs when the bread comes*
2. Thou shall wipe thy greasy hands before throwing thine ski ball
3. Thou shall not thown thy new glow in the dark football at thine fireflies.
4. Thou shall move thine carrots so thine father can get up from his chair.

Since a parents work is never done, so new commandments will be added. I know that I have forgotten some so I will try and keep this updated the best that I can.

* The parents cannot totally take credit for this one as it was later learned it was a line from the Cosby Show (but it was still said to us in full earnest)

Long List of Fried Foods

A while back I thought to myself "I should really try to sample fried foods in this world that are not traditionally fried." I think now I am calling off that dream. I went with the inlaws to the Festival of the Little Hills today in St. Charles, where they were serving fried pop tarts. Being a fan of pop tarts I thought that this would be a home run, however like the twinkies and oreos this also was a miss (threw about half of it away). It got me thinking that fried does not necessarily equal good....
