I don't know what it is, but I am very stoked about this Football season. I'm not sure if I share thoughts with the commentators when they say that Green Bay is a strong prediction for the Super Bowl. I would loose it if they do make it and come down here to DFW. I say DFW because the Cowboys do not play football in Dallas. They play in a suburb call ARLINGTON!!!! About 20 miles west of Dallas near Rangers Stadium and Six Flags Over Texas. Anyways, If I had the money and Green Bay made the Super Bowl I would definately go, but watching the game from home is just as good and more comfortable.
I am very excited about this season. It feel like a good one where a lot of teams will be close to each other in the standings. I'm also looking forward to Fantasy Football (as I am every year). I think I will perform even better than last year, where I finished 5th. I know that's not saying much, but usually I finish 9th out of 10 or 12 teams so last year was quite a move forward. I looking for 2nd or 3rd, but it will be rough. I finished 1st in 2 other leagues and I hope to repeat those.
I have no prediction for this years Super Bowl, but I will place the Packers as strong possibility.
Enjoy the season, folks..............

Visiting the In-Laws
So this past week(end) Jen and I took a trip up to Minnesota to visit her family. The drive was a bit exhausting, but fun rolling with my wife and the dogs. BTW, thanks Jen for setting up the pit stop in KC, we really needed that.
We visited with some of the folks up there including Grandma Crouch, the Cabonaras (Don't worry I'm not tired of seeing you guys yet, ;)), Tonya, Andrea and of course Jen's immediate family.
One of the big parts of the visit was for Cooper and Tyson to meet (Bella tagged along). Man that was a rough and entertaining event. They played well and sometimes faught. We later determined that the fighting was caused by food and toys. Live and learn. There were occasions that Tyson would come to the rescue of Bella, even when she didn't need it. The most entertaining thing to me was when both Tyson and Cooper decided to gang up on Te'. Didn't quite work out as they hoped. I think that if Aleisha hadn't intervened, Te' would have messed them up.
One of the other cool visits were to the Hubbell House in Mantorville, MN. This was a very nice resturant Grandma Crouch took us to after church. Great food and vegatarian/vegan friendly. I highly recommend folks to check out this place if you haven't already.
We returned home with a lot of goodies given to us by Grandma Crouch, which I'm sure Jenny will put to use. She's great at that. I'll admit that I was very nervous transporting all of that glass for over 15 hours, but all survived the trip.
I was great to see you all. It has been a long time and we hope to see you all again more often.
Momma Crouch: Looking forward to seeing you in October.
Dave C.: Looking forward to crushing in fantasy football.
Aliesha: Hope to see you down here very soon.

Beauty Without Equal
Prince Of Persia - B+
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina.
This film was very intreging with great cinematography and non-stop action. This is on of the few films that did the video game justice if not better. Gyllenhaal played a very convincing action character mixed with his standard dry humor.
I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy this film, but was glad I was proven wrong. Gemma was pretty bland, but her beauty definately made up for it. Molina was pretty funny and help keep the movie alive.
I do recommend folks see this movie, but no preasure.

Sad Time L&O
So I got word that my favorite crime drama, Law & Order, is leaving the air after 20 years. It seems that the big move from Friday to Monday nights had a drastic effect on it's ratings. I suppose so given that it would be up against CSI: Miami, the master of Monday nights along with CBS great comedy line up.
Law & Order wasn't the only Monday show to fall. Truama and Heroes also have been axed by NBC. Chuck was able to stay on the roster and make it to the 2010-2011 season.
It shows that NBC is having it rough, but they did announce a new Law and Order will emerge, but this time it's based in Los Angeles. What night is still unknown.
Of course, I will check this out, but nothing will match the NYC L&O's.
We will miss you Law & Order.
Cya in the fall.

New Cherry Popped: Gas Grilling
So we wanted to get a new grill since our last grill ($20 charcoal) fell apart. Jen really wanted to get a gas grill, but I was hesitant for 2 reasons: price and safety. She was so excited to get one and I really hate saying no to her so I gave in (one month later) and every so often we went to price grills.
We agreed that since this will be an investment we will count it as out 10th anniversary gift. Well our anniversary is in late May, but with the weather improving here in North Texas and people already grilling, we just couldn't wait (or at least Jen couldn't :) ). So a couple of days ago we went and bought one.
Now, it's not the prime one we want, but it's a good start. I built it Friday, got the tank and some consultation on operation (I need to be very well informed) yesterday. And finally got the grill to ignite (after an hour attempts).
Very stoked now. It will be a great thing. The cooking will start in a few hours.

Typical Scorcese
Shutter Island - 3 Stars
So we went to see Shutter Island this past Sunday and I'll have to say that it was not that different from any other Martin film. He and Leonardo work very well. Definitely, a strong actor pet of Scorcese.
It was great to Max Von Sydow and Mark Ruffalo because it has been a long while. Plus, Kingsley did great in his role.
Nice film to see. Check it out if you like.
