Why I Love the Atlanta Airport

I don't usually get excited about airports because they are pretty much all the same, but the Atlanta airport impressed me for a number of reasons:

There are recharge stations like this all over the terminals where you can sit down with a laptop, cell phone, mp3 player, etc. and charge your stuff using a couple of AC plugs at each station.



There were a few of these Nintendo DS Download Stations around the airport. You can hook up your DS and download games and other content at these stations. Also, they have a DS attached to the station so you can play if you are bored.



Most airport TVs are permanently tuned into CNN or some other news station. Not the Atlanta airport though....they had NFL games on.



Every trashcan there has a built-in trash compactor, so they are never overflowing with garbage like you see in some airports.



They have vending machines like this in each terminal that sell iPods, digital cameras, iPod accessories, ear buds, etc.

The Aftermath

After a tough loss to UW today, we went to an Italian restaurant sans BSU t-shirts. As you can see, Mark and Kevin are still having a hard time dealing with the defeat.

The Agony of Defeat

My beloved Broncos just couldn't catch a break against the tough, fast, and relentless Huskies. How disappointing....

What the heck?

So when exactly are the Broncos going to turn it on? It is currently 14-0 and the Broncos look outmatched.

Seattle

For the next few days I will be live blogging from Seattle while I'm here for the BSU-UW football game. Here are some pics from downtown Seattle.

Salmon River Rafting Trip

I took a river rafting trip down the Salmon River last weekend with some peeps from church. The weather and scenery were beautiful. It was a really good time.

We forgot the Bocce Ball set, so we had to settle for rocks.....caveman style baby....yeah.

Just Hanging Out

This is where we camped on the river's beach.

The Fair

Fair Admission: $14
Two Funnel Cakes: $11
Large Pepsi: $4
Spending a warm summer night at the fair with your spouse: Priceless

Shannon and I decided to brave the crazy crowds at the fair so that we could enjoy the sweet pleasure that is a funnel cake. The Western Idaho Fair contained the usual amount of dust, cigarette smoke, B.O., Carnies, and mullets. We had a great time though.

Helping Out

Maggie decided she needed to help me unload groceries. Nice work Mag!

My Uncle, A Great Man

I just booked my plane ticket for the Notre Dame-USC game. My uncle and I are going together (he is a season ticket holder and told me to pick a game to come to). He is GIVING me the ticket for free. As you can see from the link below (see No. 3), this is quite the generous gift. Love ya Tim!

I Must Be Crazy

Shannon must have quite the hold on me. I never thought I would find myself shopping for a purse (and a PINK purse, no less). She's wanted a Dooney& Bourke purse for a while, and I finally broke down and surprised her with this. Really, I'm not gay.....
