Saturday was the sweet corn and blues festival in Normal, so the CFO and I went out early to try to beat the heat. We did a little shopping at the artist/vendor booths and enjoyed a few ears of sweet corn along the way. We found this cool colored ball that is lit by an internal light bulb at one of the vendors and decided it would be a nice addition to the ledge over our front door. Finally, something to plug into the plug that we had them install on the ledge!
On Saturday night, we headed to downtown Bloomington for the Jaycee Criterium bicycle race. I was really excited to hear that they were doing the race downtown, as they do Criterium back home in Athens, GA and it is always a lot of fun to attend. I was seriously disappointed by the spectator turn out, a huge party it was not. The men’s pro race started with 50-60 racers and ended with about half that amount. The leading 3-4 riders were no match for the remainder of the field, they blew the doors off of them. They basically set a really fast pace that a majority of the field couldn’t handle, leaving the four of them to fight it out for the win. With about 2 laps to go, the winner stepped it up another notch and left the other three in his dust.
UGA football is starting the season with a huge game against Clemson on Saturday night. What happened to the good ole days of starting off the season with an easy team for a definite win? If you need me, I’ll be on my couch watching the game... For the CFO’s sake, I hope that I’ll be cheering and not cussing. Go Dawgs!
