A few of us hit the Great Minnesota Get Together to celebrate Johnnie's b-day. Send in photos from your State Fair adventures as well!

More to come...

A few of us joined the RedBrick Health team for the Get-in-Gear 5K / 10K. Probably should have been called the "Get-In-Side" considering it was sub 30 degrees with snow and biting wind. Good times...

Reservations. Candlelight. Table clothes. Waiters. Menus with $0.55 hamburgers. Free refills. Ahh. Valentine's Day at the White Castle.

Who is your 70's Guitar Hero?

Just a little Chinese Brunch while my folks are in town. Check out these to see how much my mom would like grandkids - 1 - 2 - 3

Let the eating contests commence! First event... all you can eat Crab at the Cherokee Sirloin Room. Your current champ... Johnny C. Who's going to take away his title?

Check out the hot dog eating contest participants at my office. See the champ (ate 11 dogs) and check out this technique 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4

The photo does a good job of encapsulating our trip to the Myth nightclub in Maplewood. A gathering or memories includes... Sammy begging to come along, chicken rings, Big Mac, steak bowl, Bloody Mary bar, girls upstairs getting drunk, Mongolians versus Asians, sticky floor, free shots, going back in for one more shot, Whitney Houston, those hips don’t lie, 25 shots of liquid cocaine, showering after three minute of Wii boxing, parking lot of puke and purses, 100 mph jeep chase, shot transfer, amoeba circle of c*ck blocking, Piano Man, puking before we even get into the car, Asian underwear freak dancing, Sammy and the 16 year old, tall people head bopping Asians if we got into a fight, Toddy too drunk to figure which tennis player he is, Johnny snoring all night so we can all wake up after 3 hours of sleep, Pat’s Wii martini-glass karate chop, getting removed from the sexy dancing cage by the bouncer, bon bons, 45 minutes to five hours, our boys up in some Paul Bunyan's grill, the Asian/Anglo sea parting in their wake, and then looking to the right to see one of us oblivious to it all surrounded by some pretty happy stitches posing for photo opp's. Epic!

My Dad and I raced in the Tuckerman Inferno this weekend. We each did the cycling leg of a multi-event race that involved running, white-water kayaking, cycling, hiking and skiing down the headwall of Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington.

Want to see what the inside of my eyes look like? Doc says they're healthy. Course, I'm still legally blind without my specs.

Can you tell who is who?

Before catching Nacho Libre, we hit six of our favorite (well, not all of our favorite) nacho places including Green Mill, Taco Bell, Rock Bottom, Chevy's (pictured above), Applebee's, and the movie theater. It was a fun night for all... and, you know... I Love Your Boyfriend! (click for more photos I Love Your Boyfriend! ( 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 )

I found these cards on the reception desk at my eyewear place. I guess the optometrist hands them out when people are being loud on their mobile phones in his office. I thought it was fitting for our group.

Dan (who subs on our broomball team, I went to elementary school with, works with Craig and went to college with the girlfriend of a co-workers of Steph's) just had a baby. Take a look! (from Dan) We had a baby! Oscar William Tix. Here is a photo of him with his big sister Linnea. Linnea has been great and really likes helping with him. He was born Saturday (3/4) at 8:28 am. 7lb 13oz. 19.5 inches long. Labor was 3.5 hours and went really well. Angie is up and around and we both have had enough sleep for the last 3 nights too! Everything is going great. Better photos of Oscar are at: http://www.growingfamily.com/webnursery/babypage_view.asp?URLID=8U0M6I4V8E

He's all growns up! Checkout Derrick and his girlfriend Rose at their Y-Teen formal dance!

Check out Bic on her recent vaca to Hawaii. Anyone want to go in on a timeshare?

This is from a Sports Illustrated I read a few months ago. I think I've tried to retell the story to some of you, but the actual article is pretty cool.

You'll have to trust me on this, but about a split-second after this photo was taken, Derrick jumped over me spread eagle. Yeah, it was pretty cool.

Not sure who got your vote, but check out the attached to see who some random "beautiful baby" voted for through Billy. Seriously. And don't forget to check out Mini-John and Mini-Keith

I caught my first fish a few weeks ago and didn't want to stretch the story on the size of the fish. Notice the sweet Scooby pole I used. - John
