It's been a long time since we've written. To my defense this is because I've been waiting for Melissa to chime in with news from her side of life. So when Melissa was featured as a model on the Wexner Center's store website. I said "put it on dehoeve" - and she said no way I look like an idiot. I thought the reader could decide:
Likewise, when Melissa's sister Emily and Emily's band the Icicles were featured, once again, on a television commercial, this time for Target. I said "put it on dehoeve" - and she said I will in a while. Well I'm here to post the video.
Of course, the blame can be shared. Unmarked on this page went the fact that I was on the job market this fall. I had interviews in a couple of places and in the end one place actually wanted to hire me. What kind of crazy institution would offer me a job? Well none other than Michigan State University. That's right - I will be a Spartan next year.
I could go into answering questions about us moving from Ohio State to Michigan State. Instead of the practical questions, people are most likely interested in knowing whom we will support during football/basketball games. Melissa has already stated she will find it easier to support Michigan State football since they're not expected to win all the time. Thereby, their wins and celebrating their wins seem more meaningful to her. As for me, many of you know, I have long held an association with Michigan State through blood and have been well-schooled in recognizing the beauty of their fight song. Still - I don't view it as an either/or and will continue to support each team as long as it's not harmful to my health.
Well, I've been told to stop - so Merry Christmas all and we hope to see you all soon.
