Birthday In Cleveland

Well it's October already and you know what that means...birthdays. Kevin's birthday is on the 5th and mine is on the 6th. So in order to start the celebrations, we traveled to Cleveland yesterday to celebrate Kevin's 28th birthday.

The day started out in a normal fashion with lunch at The Cheescake Factory. After lunch we went to Pirahni's Hockey store to get Kevin a new hockey stick ( does everyone know he is playing hockey again? and that he has lost 40 pounds?).

After Pirahni's, Kevin had to stop at the lab to do some work, so Gen, Deana and I went to little neighborhood bar called "Becky's". You wouldn't know it was called "Becky's" from the outside. All they have is a blue neon sign that says "Liquor". Kevin finally joined us and we decided to go see a movie. Since it was Kevin's birthday, we let him pick the movie.

Kevin picked the movie "Choke". "Choke is a movie based on author Chuck Pahluniuk's book by the same name. I personally am a fan of his work so I was curious to see how closely the movie emulated the book.

I was not disappointed. From the opening sex scene ( the main character is a sex addict) to the ending sex scene, all I could hear was Deana muttering under her breath "this is sick". I don't think Kevin intended on spending his birthday taking his mom to watch soft porn, but he did.

The movie was good and it was a perfect end to a perfect day. However, I don't think Deana will let Kevin pick the movie anytime soon.

Later!

SCARE TACTICS

One of my favorite shows this year is Scare Tactics on the Sci Fi channel. It's on every Wednesday at 10:00 PM. You can also catch episodes on Hulu.com. Tracy Morgan replaced Shannon Daugherty as the host. He definitely has some pretty funny comments. Here is a clip from the first show this season. It's called "Satan's Baby". Enjoy!

HOFFMAN REUNION

The original forecast for Sunday August 3rd was 95 degrees. We all hoped they were wrong because that was the day for the First Annual Hoffman Reunion. The reunion was held at a park in Fremont, Ohio. A shelter house was reserved, but 95 degrees is damn hot.

As it turned out, the weatherman cooperated and the Hoffman, Kerns, and Feebacks all enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon of food, drink, games and conversation. Contact information was exchanged and the commitments to get together more than once a year were made.

I have included a small slideshow capturing the days participants. Enjoy!

PROJECT: CORN HOLE

Well it took me about three weeks to complete, but after hours of after dinner sessions in the garage Project: Corn Hole is done. Check it out!



I know that the Detroit Tigers are Kevin's favorite team, so it was easy to know how I was going to paint these boards. I don't know how well that will go over in Cleveland, but I'm sure Kevin can handle it. With a quart of White, Orange and Blue Semi-Gloss for the color scheme, I applied three coats on the top and two coats on the sides.

The hardest part was the Detroit Tiger "D". I used Bumper Sticker paper from Office Max and printed an inverted "D" I found online. Using a razor blade, I then cut it out so that the white side showed the "D" the right way. Bumper Sticker paper has adhesive on one side, so I stuck it on the board and finished with a coat of clear epoxy to seal the logo and protect the painted wood surface.

Hope you like it Kevin!

TIME TO GET THE BAND BACK TOGETHER

It looks like the makers of Guitar Hero IV are taking a cue from the makers of Rock Band. The new version will include a drum kit as well as a microphone. What makes it different from Rock Band is the Music Studio where you can create and edit your own music. It also features an eight on eight online Battle Of The Bands. I would pick it up in the fall...but I don't think Deana can play drums.

Check out the trailer:

I could be wrong, but I think it's someone's birthday today.

BONDING WITH THE BOY

I'm heading to Cleveland today to spend some "Man Time" with Kevin. The main event of the weekend is Dream Theater's "Progressive Nation" tour. They headline along with Opeth, Between The Buried And Me and 3. The concert is at the Tower City Amphitheater. Should be a great show.

But before we hit the concert, we're going to check out the movie of the summer "Iron Man". I've been hearing great things about this flick and it looks like Iron Man 2 is in the works.

We wanted to get in some golf on Sunday, but it doesn't look good weather-wise. Rain and cold temperatures is not a recipe for a good time on the golf course. We'll probably be too hung over anyway.

That's it! Over and out.
