busy busy busy (i just want to sleep)

Posted by juplife on July 6, 2008

i’ve been a little lazy on juplife lately. june was a crazy month with the epic race taking up quite a bit of time. i’ve also been working quite a bit more than originally planned. i figure i owe a few updates on what has happened recently because sometimes the mobile blogs just don’t tell the whole story.

the pozes all came together last weekend. the girls all brought their man candy with them too. the real star of the show was kate and matt’s little guy, jack. looks like naming your kid jack is all the rage these days.

john updike, this one not this one, visited a couple weeks ago to play for john’s korner bar softball. after receiving all of the facebook invites for our games, he realized the summer of drew wouldn’t be complete without visiting ’south toledo’. sadly, even with mr updike on our team we couldn’t pull out the victory but we still had a great time post game at jkb. it’s hard not to with good friend john. and that’s why i hope to return to new orleans for the sugar bowl next season.

last monday was the notre dame club of toledo celebrity golf outing. toledo’s foremost authority on everything, dr dan williams, was kind enough to sponsor our group. his son, little boy, and adam joined us. we certainly weren’t the best foursome out there, we didn’t have a celebrity and i didn’t have my own clubs, but we had a great time.

chuck should really start a business organizing charity golf outings. this was his second of the month and he did an amazing job on both. celebrities at the nd outing included heismen trophy winner johnny lattner, frank stams and dave casper. his kids unlimited outing featured jim jackson, gene keady, osu heismen trohpy winner troy smith, and clark kellogg. pretty, pretty, pretty good.

as always, i’ve been taking plenty of photos. you can update yourself with all of them at flickr.

the tressel t on myspace

tressel vest t-shirt

after consulting with ike and ian at toledo.com, in an effort to increase the online marketing of the OSU sweater vest t-shirt, i’ve created a new myspace page for it. you can find it here. if you’re on myspace, the shirt could use the friends.

i’ve posted the above illustration of the new design of the shirt. for those curious about the upcoming season, we’ll have it available in adult and youth in scarlet and gray, and red in toddler, onesie, and beer bottle koozie. they will all be available for purchase on jupmode by the start of the season.

we’ve got a big order out so i’m hoping for big things. spread the word.
