Yeah, that’s right. KC and I were on the road. This weekend; here’s the update:

Friday night I went up to Rookie’s in Davenport to watch Spatterdash perform. What a great show. I really think these guys rock. Also, I enjoyed a number of Newcastle Brown Ales (I think I found a new favorite beer). Lots of good tunes and good brew. Thanks, Rebecca, for the ride up and back; KC didn’t want to stay out that late (I didn’t think 1am was late?!) so she didn’t go.

Saturday morning we left for Des Moines. We met up with ZDog, J, and KC’s mom and watched the end of the Iowa game (we were driving during most of the first half). Then we all went to the Outback for a nice meal. Later, ZDog and J went back to ZDog’s apartment, KC and I took her mom home. From there KC and I proceeded to Adel to attend the induction ceremony where her dad, Paul, was inducted into the Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Athletic Hall of Fame. This was the main reason we made the drive. All of this year’s inductees can be seen here. It is only the second year of this, and the first year’s inductees are here. I knew he was quite a player “back in the day” but I really had no idea; now he is in the same group at Adel as the legendary Nile Kinnick. WOW! Congratulations, Paul.

Sunday we got our extra hour of sleep (did you?) and then went with ZDog and J to their church. Nice service. Then we met KC’s mom at HyVee for brunch. Then we packed it all up and headed back for the homestead. We did stop at WalMart to do some shopping in order to get a number of things that we normally get while grocery shopping on Saturday. Now a lazy evening with football, movies and blogging.
