And one more thing:
Labor Day weekend Jeff joined some of his family in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a few days of male bonding – in other words lots of sports, food, and very little talking.

They spent Friday night at the Detroit Tigers baseball game and watched an ok game, an ok fireworks show, and a spectacular spark-lit fire on the field.


Saturday was football, football, and more football. They played a few rounds themselves, tailgated all afternoon, and then joined over 108,000 fans in the Big House to watch the U completely cream Michigan State – ummm, well that is till the 4th quarter when the men in red decided they apparently didn’t want the easy win and thought they'd give the Wolverines a few shots at a “W”. (Let's hope this isn't a sign for the season). The guys then celebrated the win with dinner and staying up late watching Sports Center to hear all the news about the game that they’d just spent all day watching.




Sunday was mostly a day of travelling, but they did find time to stop at the Ford Museum. (Of course it couldn’t be an official guys trip without adding a few cars). Jeff arrived home about midnight on Sunday and actually had to work on Labor Day. Sweet Emily finally got to see him Monday afternoon for a brief moment before he had to race out the door to another appointment. Her response to her daddy leaving again? “No!! Daddy don’t go!” I believe those were my thoughts too.

(And yes, I am the one posting about this to try and document it because we all know that Jeff would never actually take the time to do it).
