Another beautiful weekend in Tampa, So much so that I still have yet to put the roof on my Wrangler. Saturday was insanely busy. Jennifer and I were obligated to the Peoples Gas company picnic and had to be at Ft Desoto at 8:30 in the morning. its a 45 minute drive so you can imagine that Friday night was a blockbuster night. ;)

We hit the ground running on Sat and didnt slow down until 1 AM. Sun.

the company picnic was a blast… We were in charge of the children’s games and Bingo, so I was literally running the entire time. Sac races, football tosses, Frisbee tosses and lawn bowling. for every child under 15 that wanted to play. (about 60 kids total I think)

Were not sure but we think every kid went home with a prize :)

We had to leave there at 2:30 to go and get some last minute things for the evening event…

We got home, Jen flew through the shower while I ran Winston for some exercise. while Jen was putting on some finishing touches, she asked me to switch out the removable heels on her shoes with the new ones they came with. A task I quickly discovered was easier said then done. In then end, the shoes got ruined, and a new pair had to be bought on the way to the Ball…

As usual however, the ball was beautiful and we were fabulous. (or maybe I have that backward) Jen and I

It was nice to see people I work with at a formal event, even though I was not there with them. Senator Crist was there again and we had a few laughs. The evening ended with TJ on the baby grand tickling the ivories well into0 the wee hours of the morning.TJ and I

UPDATE!!!!!

Were all going to Skyline for celebratory chilidogs.

(That means USF lost) hehe 

Now I have never been one to jump on a band wagon. And while I never had attended the school I have always been an Ohio State Buckeye fan.

That said, this weekend is the Homecoming for the University if Southern Florida Bulls…

Ranked # 5 the will be playing the University of Cincinnati Bearcats… and being Born and raised in Cincinnati… well Im just going to have to go against the grain on this one.

To make matters even more fun… My good friend TJ (A very proud USF Alum) has made arrangements for a spot in the USF homecoming parade anyone in our off road club that wants to  attend.  Most will be riding in their jeeps… some of us will be riding in the Duce as seen here…I have been told that if i wear UC attire I will not be protected if rotten fruit begins to fly…

Ill be good. ;)

Just think of it as a lifted limo that could tow  a 747.   duce

I cant be the only one that saw this coming.  :)
