Postpartum Doldrums

Not sure how everyone else fared this week, but the combination of exhaustion from the build up to and then competing in the actual events (combined with possibly succumbing to an unknown fish allergy and/or fish AIDS) this week was not nearly as exciting as last week. 

With out further ado, here are the top ten things that had me bummed:

   1. At least 364 days until next years Brolympics (spring mini-event?!)

   2. The outcome of Brolympics IV (some may not share this affliction)

   3. Feeling like Team Army let a golden opportunity slip through it's hands (closely related to #2)
       - Hockey was so competitive and close.  Army with a 3-2 lead in the 3rd?
       - We pushed three-point shoot out to an unplanned third round
       - We somehow won bowling?

   4. Disappointed in my corn hole performance (a phrase that is never uttered at Stallions, downtown H-burg)

   5. Did not get to dominate at Blades of Steel. (Lewis may have a different mental image of how that would have played out*)

    * I was pantsless in my version

   6. Six different types of booze may have been one too many. (damn you Dude!)

   7. Seriously, I threw up Tuesday because of some talapia.  Twice in 4 days? My stomachs about to be washboard quality with this type of a workout. (hmmmm....glass half full?)

   8. Didn't get to play golf because of the monsoon.  Weather conditions very reminiscent of Ty's Bachelor Party weekend.  Eff you Katrina.

   9. Only played one game of NHL 14 and didn't officially injure anyone. (human or computer generated)
   
        (I may be reaching to make a list of ten)

  10. I'm still not done putting stuff away.

THE "NO PROMISES" PORTION OF THIS POST

• Will be soliciting event feedback in some fashion.  Understand it's impossible to blend everyone's requests and wants into one solid day.
• When thinking about the events, don't just think about competitive balance and fun, but think about how the event flows with the rest of the day and location logistics.
• I will not even begin to give myself a deadline with the recap.  Could be the weekend before next year for all I know.  I'll have just as strong of a recollection then, as I do now, of some of the evening.  
• Again, photos may need collected for the recap posts, so I may create a shared photo album for those that have iOS devices so that we can upload all our photos there to share. Traditional means, such as police sketch and taking Polaroids of your cell phone screen are still acceptable.

That's it for now.  Despite the semi-dour tone of this post, it was awesome to hang with everyone and act our "mental" age.  Was a lot of fun as always.  I think a majority of the new bells, whistles and surprises worked out.  Thanks for all the positive feedback.  We'll continually be trimming the fat to make a kick ass weekend!   

Happy Brolympics Eve

*Let this be a reminder that this shit is rain or shine.  I'm a man™!  Bring your ShamWow, if need be, to dry your tears.  Playing hockey in the mist sounds pretty bad ass, not to mention refreshing.

It's About to Go Down

Cluster F.....orecast

Let me preface this by acknowledging that we've been in the position before.  A lot can change in the next 3-4 days. (!)  Here's a round up of what we're looking at:

Via the Weather Channel

Via Accuweather

Via Pennlive

via WHTM 27 News

Via WGAL Channel 8 News

Via some surely trustworthy site called Weather Underground

It seems like the general consensus is that we're looking at a chance of drizzles to possible showers on Friday and possible drizzles to just an overcast day on Saturday.  We can handle that. And like 27 news alluded to, there's a lot of disagreement in the weather community (a generally shitty place to live) about how the end of the week is going to turn out. 

The bright side: It's not going to feel like the air space that orbits my scrotum outside this weekend. (store that image for when your internet goes out)

I think we're all monitoring this situation closely. (the extended forecast, not the air space around my junk)  Updates if anything major changes. Stay classy Cornwall Borough.
