God, I love my town! Granted I've lived in exactly two places in my life, but when you can go eat a fabulous lunch from the natural food market for $6, including drink, eat outside on the patio being serenated by a flautist while reading a library book, and then follow up by getting a 32 oz. Vanilla Coke to take back to the office for 50 cents, there's not a whole lot of places I'd rather be.

Plus, the excitement over the Iowa/Iowa State game tomorrow is palpable. It's going to be crazy, and I'm super-psyched. They estimate about 100,000 people coming to town, and the stadium only holds a little over 70,000. The rest are here to tailgate. Fifteen of them will be in my yard: I've booked a Hawkeye RV to park in my driveway. None of them have tickets, but they have a satellite television. We'll see how this goes.

And! I might get to meet a certain well-known person tomorrow. Post, and hopefully a picture [crosses fingers] to come tomorrow!
