This was said by Matt in reaction to the news that one of his fellow cyclists was recently diagnosed, treated, and cured of H1N1 in a matter of 72 hours.
Matt's birthday was in August, so I had the first time ever pleasure of visiting the State Fair in Springfield, Illinois. I won't bore you with too many details, but we did see the famous butter cow, which featured a young Abe Lincoln in thought, and everything was fried- twinkies, snickers, hot fudge sundaes, butter, and soda (somehow). Upon our arrival, I was whisked through all of the midwest wonders by Matt in a B-line to a tiny stand that made ribeye sandwiches served in gingham, paper trays. We were able to take our time looking at everything after that. We took in a prize pony show, saw some sheep being shorn, ate brown, crispy food, and enjoyed a perfect birthday.
Recent Guilty Pleasure: 17 Again
It's great.
Pleasantly Surprised: Inglorious Basterds
Wasn't too Tarantino in the bad way but plenty of Tarantino in the good way. It was quite graphic though. He may have finally grown up a bit.
Where Have I Been That I Haven't Heard This Record Yet: Wilco the Album
I bought it two days ago finally, and it put my mind at ease while I was working on Matt's soon to be new old house. Can't help but to let my mind wander back to the days of fall and friends and love in Chicago. Pictures of Matt's house soon to come.
Take care, friends and strangers. Miss you all.

"...soon to be old new house." This tickles my brain.
