Memorial Day Weekend Camping follow-up...

Goose Island from Friday to Monday! Yes we camped, yes we had great weather, yes we had a great time, and no there wasn't any beer left in the cooler. No firewood left either, the whole truckload was burned up.

We biked, we hiked, we ate very well, we euchred, we ladder golfed and we Frisbee Cupped... or would that be Fricketed...? We also slept in every morning... well, I was up early Monday but other than that we slept in. Why is it that you need two days to recover after four days of relaxing??

I'll just post one photo for now... me in front of our camper. But more pix will follow after I download some more.

From the Professor!!

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.
The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
I think this guy nailed it!
Dear Mr. President:
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force.. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered-Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -Housing Crisis fixed.
It can't get any easier than that!
If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and theirconstituents pay their taxes...

We Still Need Rain... but we're going camping!

Yeah, the famous rainy Memorial Day Weekend... and we're going camping. Hopefully it only rains at night... ;-)

I like this sign though!

THE BIG MATCHUP!! Brew Crew VS Twinkies

Well, this weekend my two favorite baseball teams face off - Brewers and Twins. My friends all know which one I root for when they play... maybe you can tell from this bobblehead doll. And yes that's me, and no there wasn't a real Keith Anderson bobblehead. Sheesh!!!

SURVIVOR - 5/17 - J.T. Wins

Well, turns out it wasn'teven close. Here I thought I was doing my usual, picking someone that wouldn't win... and it turns out everybody wanted J.T. to win. Yep, unanimous voting and everything. Now I don't even feel special. Anyway... the next Survivor is in Samoa, and that looks like a pretty nasty place. I thought Toncantins was supposed to be nasty but did anybody even see a wild animal? Better luck Samoa. And by the way, did you see Coach? The only contestant to bring a signed note from your friendly Lie Detector Operator. Sheesh. But, congrats J.T., I picked you!

SURVIVOR - 5/17 - Taj is betrayed!

First hour of the finale is history... and Taj is gone. Steven and J.T. betrayed their old alliance partner and Jalapao member because they thought they'd have a better chance if they kept the very un-likeable Errin. Duh, guys the problem is the entire jury is original Timbura members... like Errin. Would it not have made more sense to have the final three be all Jalapao members so the jury would have had to choose on a more equal basis??

Oh well, bye bye Taj... go J.T.!

He's my pick to win it!

SURVIVOR 5/14 - SO LONG COACH!!

Coach got the boot. Finally... the warrior is gone. I have to admit though, I'll miss his (unintended) comedic comments and his drama queen antics. But again, let's get something straight... this guy is no warrior. Everything he does is sadly hilarious. He gets sent to exile island and all of a sudden he has bad discs in his back and "terrible" asthma. Plus he insists that for two days he'll eat nothing, for two days he'll drink nothing, and then he says that will make him stronger.

Of course then when he competes for immunity he collapses to the ground with back spasms (see picture). This whole episode is designed to show that the mighty warrior could only be defeated by circumstances beyond his control... poppycock. What a ham, what a drama queen, what a liar. I've said it before, this guy is a joke. Someday this guy will bilk old ladies out of their life savings. Goodbye coach, I won't shed any tears over you.

Keith's Easy Fashions...

Ladies... what could be easier than making a tank top out of your hubby's old jockey shorts? A great tip for all you re-cyclers out there! And how green can you get?? Well, hopefully you cut out any green...

SURVIVOR - 5/7/09 - Bye bye Debbie!

Well, I can't believe Coach didn't get voted off. But as usual, he had no clue who the rest were going to vote for... and the school principal got the boot. And in reality, she was Coach's last true ally so I guess it was all right. Debbie had been flying under the radar a long time. It still amazes me how Coach acts like he's controlling the game, maybe finally he'll get the message that he isn't the warrior leader he professes to be. I still think he's one of the biggest phonies in the history of the game... how did he last this long???

Oh well, bye bye Debbie!

EVER HAVE A REALLY BAD DAY??

EVER HAVE A REALLY GOOD DAY??

SURVIVOR 4/30

Well, I was wrong... Coach survived and Sierra didn't. Why do I always root for the hottie? I'm still wondering how Taj, JT, Stephen and Errin could possibly feel Sierra posed a threat to them. It makes you wonder if fasting saps the ability to reason.
But... and here's my big BUTT-DIG for the day. Coach made some stoney-faced announcement to everyone that he hadn't lied, and that honesty and courage were what he lived by. This of course all happened after a five minute segment showing him saying exactly the oppositte of what he swore he'd said. This from a guy who seems to revel in being on camera and in his mind has created some weird noble knight-warrior personna that it's glaringly obvious he's not even close to being. If his dimwitted posturing continues, he could easily wind up as the most laughed at contestant in the history of Survivor. What an idiot.
Keep watching... Coach's demise will be soon. And his hazing on the reunion show will be GLORIOUS.

Here's a list of some of Coach's lies to date:

1. he did not try to recruit Sierra

2. he was captured by Amazonian Pygmy cannibals

3. he has a kayak world record (wrong by 3,000 miles)

4. he knows Chinese martial arts (nobody's heard of his art)
