Always A Spin Too Late

As I sit here I am a little disheartened at the fact that I did not receive the Christmas miracle I was hoping for...I did not win Colts tickets. I was very close though. I went to Meijer this afternoon for what they call Blue Fridays. Meijer and Hank FM 97.1 give away 25 pairs of tickets the Friday before every home game during the Colts season. I had never gone before and was just sitting at home not being productive...when I got the idea of trying to win some tickets. I thought it would be a great present for Emily (and me too).

I drove to the giveaway location on E. Washington St. AKA I-40, which runs through Greenfield. It was only a 15 minute drive away. The website said get their early and try your hand, so I was there early at 1:30pm for the event starting at 3:00pm. I was about 30th in line to have a chance at spinning the wheel. As I waited the line really built. By the time the event started, about 300 Colts fans were in line. It was a sight to see.

It was an interesting group of people, definitely someone from all walks of life. I had a few VERY INTERESTING people in front of me, who had no concept of personal space, and loved to talk. I am never one to shy away from people so I politely listened. I learned the life stories of about 5 people in an hour and a half.

As the event started and people spun the wheel, I actually got nervous. You get up there and everyone is staring to see if you win. The first winner of tickets for the day...the man directly in front of me. As for me, I was one space on the wheel away. It was kinda sad at how close I was, so I stayed and went through the line again. I was of course much further away now, but I was pretty sure I would get one more spin. The wheel was about 100 small spaces, like the one on wheel of fortune, with 3 of those spaces giving you Colts tickets. I thought it was worth the wait for a 3% chance for a great night out.

I should have left after the first spin. I waited another 45 minutes for my second chance...redemption. They announce 5 pairs are left as I approach my turn; the woman immediately in front of me wins one of the pairs. As for me, AGAIN...one space away. It was just not meant to be, but it was an interesting experience.

24 hours, 1 car, 2 people= Adventure

One thing I have learned since being married is that road trips either test your relationship or makes it stronger. Over the last couple years Emily and I have made a few long road trips and in each of those trips we have bonded. We have been lucky and have managed to communicate and have fun in tight quarters. I think it is because we don't just take trips but go on adventures.

Emily is not one to plan out every detail, and I love that about her (most of the time). We left for Minnesota the Wednesday before Thanksgiving with a set of driving directions and that was it. We drove through the night planning our stops around empty gas tanks and stomachs. As we drove through Illinois we were running low on gas and needed a driver change, so we stopped at a Pilot in the middle of nowhere...literally! We each got big drinks, some caffeine, to help us stay awake in the dark backcountry. We later decide we are getting hungry (about an hour from the Pilot) and started looking for a restaurant near the interstate for dinner. Emily wanted Mexican, not the easiest food to find on a highway sign unless you are wanting taco bell.

We saw a sign for "Mr. Salsa's" so we both said lets try it. We are so agreeable. As we take the exit we look around and don't see much in this town. But knowing what Emily wants, I decide to just keep driving and be patient that the restaurant will appear. We drive for about 2.5 miles and get into a small town main street that looks half abandoned. Then all of the sudden, there it was, Mr. Salsa's...inside a bar, a dirty looking bar.

Like I said Emily wanted Mexican, so we actually ate there and the food was pretty good...and yes, they had good salsa. The adventure of finding the restaurant was weird enough, but not this night. As we sat there eating our chips and salsa, this family walks in...that Emily recognizes. A woman and her adorable daughter walk in, the same from the Pilot we got drinks at. Emily was 99.9% certain it was them, but wasn't going to say for sure or ask them to confirm it.

So we both just sat there eating thinking..."What are the odds? That has to be them! Are they from this small town or passing through like us?". I had to know, so when Emily went out to the car as I paid for dinner; I made a detour. I "politely" asked if they happened to be the same people Emily noticed at the Pilot. They confirmed it and laughed, saying "I'm glad we are at least memorable". They told me they just decided to stop here too and they were also traveling for Thanksgiving.

I am still amazed at how we saw the same people in the middle of nowhere twice in one night. We had never meet before, but had a very weird connection that night. Of all the places on that road to eat and stop, we both chose Mr. Salsa's, a place most people would drive right past. It makes me think of how small this world truly is...

The rest of the trip was fun, but less interesting than our chance occurrence. We made it to Minnesota, had a great time, and drove home. The trip was ~24 hours of driving total, but one crazy adventure in whole.

Best Husband Ever

During the week, one of the worst things for me is trying to get everything done around the apartment. I feel like I already have a lot to do with grading and planning, then to add cooking, doing dishes, picking up, and laundry it just sometimes can be overwhelming! But, I knew with being a teacher that I'd have to take work home so I deal with it.

However, Tuesday and Thursday are the worst because I tutor two students until about 5:00 so I'm not home until 5:45 or 6:00. I know that isn't late but when I'm used to getting home around 4:15 it can make it stressful to get what I want accomplished done before I'm ready to relax for the evening.

Today was a rough day at school with the students being really wound up, then there was a fight outside my classroom which made everything worse. I was not in the mood to come home and be productive. However, Zach had no clue that I had a tiring day but when I came home I came home to this...

Zach cooking dinner!

Zach also had bought me flowers just because...and there were my favorite orange/yellow roses!

Zach also was doing the dishes along the way! What a wonderful way to come home from work! I could not have asked for a better husband who always is willing to make my life easier without even knowing it. This turned out to be a good Tuesday evening for me! Thanks sweetheart!

Sleeping Beauty

I have got to make this post quick before my cover is blown. Emily wouldn't like me sharing this secret information with you. Emily has a weekend addiction to... SLEEPING, or "daytime napping". I know it's not a crime, but she really does this EVERY weekend. I felt obligated to let you all in on her little dark secret. We sleep in on Saturdays usually until about 9am, so how can she be "soooo tired" by 12:30pm? That is the mystery.

Here is the proof:

This is what she is doing this minute as I write this. Sleeping again!! Can you believe her?

Actually, I can... I may be writing this with humor, but I understand and know she needs this rest. I give her a hard time about sleeping every weekend, but as you can see, I usually don't wake her. She is hard working and does so much for me during the week. She works with teenagers everyday... which should be enough to entitle her to a nap on its own, but she also helps cook, clean, and helps me with everything. The weight of the week adds up and by the weekend she just needs to lay down.

So, she may sleep a lot on the weekend, but she does so much during the week I have to let it slide. I guess in some ways I married famous... I married my "Sleeping Beauty".

Behind The Masks

Tonight many people will be putting on costumes, face paint, and even masks. Here in the United States it is only acceptable on one day of the year, but in many other countries and cultures it is very common. So common in fact, mask carving and dressing rituals have become almost an art...an art that I greatly appreciate and have begun to collect.

Many of you may know I collect tribal handmade masks and that I enjoy the stories behind them. I thought today would be a great day to share my interest with others and show off my odd collection.

This mask was my first. My mom got it for me several years ago while on a cruise to the tropics. She thought they were interesting and got a mask for me and my brother. She bought this one in Barbados. The funny thing is that this mask is the one that started my collection, but the one my brother got was actually the one I thought was the coolest.

This mask is one of my favorites that I own. A special person (Emily) got it for my while on her spring break cruise a couple years ago. She searched for several days to find me the right one. I am very lucky she supports my collection.

I would say this one is my absolute favorite mask because of the colors and detail. It is very special to me because Terry (my mother-in-law) got this for me on her latest trip to India. It is only fitting to get an elephant mask from India.

This mask is interesting because the designs are stimpled on with dots of paint. I received this mask as a gift from Kim and Terry (parents-in-law) from their trip to Australia, New Zealand, and Tahiti.

I like this one because it is the first international mask I bought myself. I got it in Jamaica on our Honeymoon. The man I bought it from looked like the mask. I thought it was unique and definitely unlike any of the other ones I had.

This is my newest mask with the least exciting story. I got it last summer on vacation in Emerald Isle. It was at a gift shop and I wanted a new mask for the collection. It is part of my "American Mask Collection"

This is another mask that fits the American category. I also got this in Emerald Isle, but it hold the most meaning to me of all my masks. I got this the summer I proposed to Emily on vacation. It is an everyday reminder of the vacation; the greatest of my life.

These masks are used as decorations, but to me mean so much more. Each one has its own story, and most of the masks were made by hand and are completely unique. I don't wear too many masks these days for Halloween, but I have a few if I ever want to.

It's hit the Whaley's...H1N1

On Friday at school, I developed a cough but didn't think much of it since I seem to always get sick during the school year here and there. Nothing ever big...just something that last a couple of days then comes back later. The students seems to ALWAYS have some sickness they are just willing to spread around.

Saturday I woke up feeling a little off, but by after lunch I felt miserable. I was aching, had a fever, couldn't get comfortable, would be sweating one minute then be freezing the next, and my cough got worse. I tried taking multiple baths to make me comfortable, tried taking Advil and NyQuil, but nothing seemed to help. I went to bed that night and only slept about 3 hours of which were on the couch.

Sunday morning I knew there was no way I was going to church and after my shower I told Zach I had to go see a doctor. I felt awful...worse than I ever felt with any other sickness including mono. So Zach being the amazing husband that he is told me he'd drive me to a clinic. We drove around Greenfield but NO place was open until noon. I told him I couldn't wait that long so he went into the CVS in Greenfield and asked if they knew of a place that was open now. The nice ladies told him that there was a Minuteclinic in a CVS in New Palestine so Zach got in the car, turned the heat on full blast (he was miserable because he was so hot), and drove to New Pal.

I have been to urgent care places before and knew it would take a while but since this was called a minute clinic I thought it might be quicker. Boy was I wrong! We arrived and signed in on the sheet around 10:45 am. I was 9th on the list. We didn't get seen until 1:05 pm. Apparently this clinic had just received the H1N1 vaccine and parents were trying to get their kids vaccinated before they ran out. We were also informed that being 16th wasn't being very far down on the list!

I tried to be patient, but after an hour I was tired so Zach said I could go lay in the car while he waited and would text me when I was 2nd on the list. Isn't he the best!?! When I finally got called in the lady asked me a bunch of questions, told me I had the flu, and said that I looked good for a sick person (ha!). I could have had been officially tested for the H1N1 but she told me that she hasn't had anyone test for anything other than that and since the test was $120, Zach and I just took her word for it.

She told me some over the counter stuff I could take, prescribed me some cough medicine, and sent me on my way. Zach was a great trooper but told me he couldn't take care of me this week because he had midterms and didn't want to get it himself. So I decided to call mom and dad to see if they'd let me stay with them. Of course, they are the best and mom agreed!

My only complaint so far is that when I woke up on Monday morning and was laying on the couch, mom thought it'd be funny to take pictures of me then laugh. They are kind of funny so I'll post some of them but don't laugh too hard.

Don't I look healthy?!?

After I was coughing...mom thinks she's so funny!

This is mom's favorite one. She said I wasn't opening my eyes so I did this time.

Well to finish my story, I have the H1N1 virus, can't go to work all week, Zach was the best this weekend, and mom dad have cared for me like I was a little kid again. I am finally feeling better and plan to head back home tomorrow night or Thursday morning.

Christmas in October

For Christmas this year, Zach and I decided we would just get each other a nice big television instead of buying little gifts. I made some extra money this year with coaching volleyball and I thought it'd be a nice purchase which Zach would love (and he does by the way!). So on Saturday after my volleyball tournament, I went and borrowed mom and dad's vehicle since we knew neither one of our vehicles would work and headed off to Costco.

Brandon and Amy (really good friends who live in our same apartment complex) wanted to go look at furniture so we said we'd have plenty of room if they wanted to join us. We knew what we wanted and it would take no time at all. Oh was I wrong...

We walked into Costco and found the television we had looked at and wanted from searching the internet. But we thought we'd look at all the deals just in case something changed our mind. Zach saw and fell in love with a 50 inch LG plasma tv which was about $200 cheaper and also bigger than the tv we looked at before. We got a sales associate to come help us lift it, paid for it, and went to leave. Only one problem, the tv didn't fit into the vehicle with all four of us.

We had to decide what to do because nothing was going to work. So I decided Zach and Brandon would take the tv to our apartment while Amy and I walked around Castleton. And now my adventure begins. What was suppossed to be a quick fun trip turned into a funny afternoon.

Amy and I walked down the road and NONE of the roads had sidewalks. Guess everyone drives around this area. Our first stop was JoAnn fabrics. We walked around to get ideas about Christmas ideas, etc. The following stop was Rooms Express. Apparently they just opened and were having really good sales. Needless to say, we toured the ENTIRE place and tried out many coaches, chairs, beds, etc. Well that took about 30 minutes.

Still about 45 minutes to go...what's next. Well nothing esle besides a rug store was on this side of the road, so we thought we'd adventure to the other side. We waited our turn for the light but it was definitely NOT long enough. We ran across the street to Pier 1 Imports and then went to The Room Place. Now the latter was a little creepy. The sales associate was a little overwhelming and found us WHEREVER we went! Oh the stories we can tell.

This was a pumpkin man trying to get people to come shop at Halloween USA. This is as close as we got.

Finally, Zach and Brandon come back to get us and we head to one more place. Ashley's Furniture in Carmel and then dinner. At dinner we realized we would need a new tv stand since our old one couldn't hold it. Best Buy it was...the main condition...it had to fit in the vehicle! It barely did and we got the one we wanted. What a Saturday! Unforgettable and definitely a time to look back upon. We love the new tv and I guess it was worth all the trouble. Merry Christmas to us!

Not the best picture but this is our new tv with the tv stand...Superbowl party at our place this year!

A Man Named Hedge

It never fails whenever I go to mom's house someone always stops by when she isn't there and usually wants to buy eggs. This time, however, the person wanted honey. And this wasn't just any person...this was Hedge.

This older man, who reminded me A LOT of Grandpa Bud, wanted to buy some honey. I didn't want this man to have to come back so I went inside, found how much it cost after calling mom, and sold him a jar of honey. You think the story should end there, but that is just where it begins.

After I gave him his honey, he meticulously counted out 5 one dollar bills. He then proceeded to ask me how long this house had been there. He remembered when it was an orchard and Albert Myers (sp?) owned a house across the street. That was before I was even thought of...so over 25 years ago.

He went on to tell me all about him. His name was Hedge, he was born around this area in 1939, graduated from Sulphur Springs High School, got married in 1957, and moved away with his wife. His wifed died 7 years ago and since he still had a plot of land on 600 N he thought he'd come back to the area. He told me it just "feels like home".

I definitely agreed with him and I went on to explain that I came back to teach at Shenandoah where I graduated from and grew up. Well believe it or not, Hedge was a teacher and then an administrator at Muncie Southside High School. He also wasn't shy to tell me that schools have changed and students are much worse. So true but he is definitely old school.

I thanked him for buying the honey and he continued to talk about how his doctor told him local honey will help with his allergies. He saw mom and dad's house as he was driving by one day and thought this would be perfect. I agreed and then we said our goodbyes. He asked me for my name, my parents' name, and then said again his name was Hedge and it was good to meet me.

I have never met a man named Hedge before today, but let me tell you he was a very interesting man. I'm glad I went to visit mom today after school or I would have never had this opportunity! I only wish I could have taken a picture of him...but I think that would have been a little awkward.

Time with Auntie Em

When Dana and Karter were here last week I took every opportunity possible to come and spend time with Karterman at Grandma T and Papa's house. He is too cute and has changed SO much since Kamaron and Anique's wedding in August. He can say some words, answers yeah to EVERY question, gives smootches, never slows down, and LOVES his Auntie Em and Uncle Zach (we're his favorite of course!). The following are some pictures that Grandma T took over Karter with his aunt and uncle. Hope you enjoy!

After his afternoon nap on Saturday, his Auntie Em dressed him and of course we had to smile for the camera!

Karter with his favorite aunt and uncle after church on Sunday!

On Wednesday, after work, I came over to see Karter (and Dana) one last time before they leave. We won't get to see them again until Thanksgiving so I was trying to soak up my time with the little guy. He even came to watch me coach the volleyball team that night (even though we lost).

Bye bye Karterman until we see you in Minnesota. Uncle Zach and Auntie Em love you and will miss you (Kristoffer and Dana too)!!

Closest Thing We Have To A Child

As many of you may know, we have a one year old Yorkshire Terrier named Peyton. Grandma Lois House asked us to post some pictures of him, and we can't let her down. Peyton is our family's closest thing to a child for the next few years...he's our trial run. He is only about 5 pounds with a golden head and "blue" body hair. I swear it's really called blue hair even though it is black/gray.

We think he is really cute, but not as cute as a baby. He will do for the time being though. Zach has had several Yorkies growing up, but none as well behaved as Peyton. We really lucked out with him. He is the only Yorkie we have ever met that never barks. He whines when he needs to go out or wants attention, but never truly barks. In case you don't understand the magnitude of this, just visit a house that has a "normal" Yorkie.

Below is a picture of Peyton when he was just a little puppy. He was about 2.5 lbs in this picture. A Yorkie typically weighs around 2-7 lbs depending on the lineage. Peyton is fully grown at 5 lbs.

Around our house Zach takes care of Peyton. He walks him, feeds him, and cleans up after him (just like a dad). Zach does a majority of the work for him, but guess who Peyton likes to spend his time with...Yes, you guessed it, Emily. Most nights you can find Peyton curled up in a ball resting on Emily's legs wrapped in a blanket. For the most part he is a lazy dog, who isn't territorial, and very passive.

The American Kennel Club's description of Yorkshire Terriers is: brave, determined, investigative, and energetic. The Yorkshire Terrier breed is very hostile towards other dogs, growling and barking at them. They are surprisingly brave dogs for their size.

Our description of our Yorkshire Terrier is: passive, lazy, investigative, and loving. He has never found a dog he doesn't like or wants to play with; licking and sniffing them before ever growling. He knows his role in life and lays down when approached by a larger dog. I swear he is 100% Yorkie, but I think he was bred with a cat somewhere down the line. He is more kitten than puppy. We love our dog, especially because he is the best of his breed.

A couple interesting Yorkie facts:

1) Yorkies have hair very similar to that of humans, making them hypoallergenic. They need to be groomed similarly to a human with long hair.

2) Yorkies are an English breed of dog that was bred over many years to gain their particular attributes. They were desired by the lower classes for their small size and investigative behavior. They were commonly used to enter small spaces and flush rats out of holes and walls in the 1800's. In present day society they are sought after by the rich and famous for their cute looks and petite size.

HCPCC Walk for Life

This weekend Zach and I have the privilege to walk in the Henry County Pregnancy Care Center's (HCPCC) Walk for Life. For those of you that don't know about the HCPCC, it is a non-profit organization that helps out women/families in need of pregnancy tests, formula, diapers, clothing, etc. The majority of the women that come to the center are single moms who cannot afford much of anything.

It is a Christian organization that my mom has been a part of since I can remember. Although she has held many positions, her job currently is to counsel women who come in on Mondays and need pregnancy tests or other things. She really enjoys her time there and looks forward to going to volunteer her time. I am sure that mom does an excellent job as she really feels for the children involved with these families. She is a very caring person who is always the first person to lend a helping hand if asked, and I'm sure the women in need that come to the center feel comfort in having my mom as their counselor for the afternoon.

Mom had asked us to walk and although we didn't have any sponsers besides our donation, we were glad mom invited us along to walk for her team. The team consisted of Zach, myself, mom, and Peggy (one of mom's good friends). It was a mile walk around Baker Park in New Castle followed by a small breakfast. The following are some pictures that Zach took of the walk...we didn't get too many as mom took enough for EVERYONE there!

This is my wonderful husband taking a picture of me as we wait for the walk to start!

The small group of people there while we were waiting on mom and Peggy to get there. There ended up being about 200 walkers but this only shows a small portion.

This is what mom did for the majority of the time before that walk started....so Zach thought it only appropriate to photograph mom!

Mom and Peggy talked the whole walk...imagine that!?! Zach and I followed and discussed their gait which I think we will leave undiscussed on the website.

Overall our Saturday morning was a fun filled time of fellowship in support of a great organization and we are already looking forward to next year's walk!

The Brain Game

I have now completed a total of three weeks of neuroanatomy with the med students at IUPUI, and have passed my first exam. It is a never ending job of studying. It is one of the most interesting, yet mind-blowing subjects I have even taken. The below picture is one that came up in a google search and I had to laugh...it captures my life. The rest of the post may give you insights into the life and times of a neuro student, but always remember the kitten picture.

This is one of my textbooks, the small one. It is the atlas of the brain with tons of pictures and diagrams. I like pictures for studying because the lectures make you drag your jaw across the ground. I can actually say a few lectures made me listen with a "dumbfounded stare". They are good lecturers, but too smart for their own good OR mine. The other text for the class are course packets. They are preprinted versions of the lecture notes that fill a 2 inch binder per half semester. It comes down to only about 50-60 slides a class/about 25 pages of notes per class period. Did I mention the class is 60 minutes a day, 5 days a week? I am not the math expert in the house but I am pretty sure that is a slide a minute...good pace for detailed diagrams.

Here is just one basic CT image we get to learn. By the end of the semester I should know every square inch of the picture, but I really don't want to. Just so you know the center black areas are the lateral ventricles, the largest ventricles of the 4, where a large portion of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) is stored. The CSF is made in the cornoid plexus which are stored in the ventricles. This is a very common image that is used to diagnose many head conditions and to look at the levels of CSF.

This picture shows all of the 12 cranial nerves. The cranial nerves serve many different essential functions to survival and perceiving the outside world. For example the the optic nerve helps with vision, the olfactory nerve serves as your sense of smell, and the vagus nerve (my favorite) is the nerve that allows us to breathe because it innervates the diaphragm. The 12 nerves are named and numbered so people commonly remember them by using a pneumonic. The nerves in order with starting letters are: OOOTTAFVGVAH, which to me means: Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel Very Green Vegetables AH. I know it doesn't make much sense but it helps me remember. I chose to use the PG version of the pneumonic, but there are other vulgar ones that many others use and didn't feel would be appropriate for such a post. It just goes to show everyone has their own way of remembering difficult things.

I want to finish this post by instilling a little neuro knowledge upon all of you who are reading this. It is an interesting fact I learned. Heroin the highly addictive opiate based drug is actually less potent than morphine. Morphine is created by the breakdown of the inactive heroin. So why is heroin then more addictive and abused than morphine? Heroin is able to cross the blood brain barrier 70 times better than morphine, meaning more heroin gets to the brain and converts to morphine than a straight morphine injection would for the same dose. A less potent drug is therefore more potent because of how it works in the body. I thought it was cool and interesting, but then again I enjoy the class.

I now know how I learn, but don't know if that really helps me with neuroanatomy. I guess I need to build a few more glial cells. HAHA...neuroanatomy joke, I guess you needed to be there.

Who wouldn't want me as their teacher?!?

So...first of all we apologize for not updating the website earlier than this. However, I have been VERY busy the past week with not only school but also volleyball. I realize this is no excuse but I chose sleep and lesson planning over posting on the website. I'll try to do better in the future...

Moving jobs/schools was definitely a good choice for me as I have really enjoyed my time thus far. The worst part of teaching in my opinion is the decorating of the classroom. I don't have must creativity and I lack motivation. It is just something I DO NOT enjoy. This is where Zach comes in. He is such a good support system AND he willingly helps decorate my classroom every year. The first picture is the before and the following 3 are pictures of my room now.


Zach's creativity at work...doesn't it look wonderful!

The only thing I take care of arranging...my desk. I try to keep it clean but as you can tell it needs some work!

Friday after teaching. Who wouldn't love to be in my classroom as a student?!? Doesn't this look like the best classroom in the school?

With the first few days of school down I have realized I have lots of good classes and students. However, one of my classes is just way over the edge. They constantly have stories, excitement, and they LOVE to get me off task. But they always get homework so I don't seem to mind because who doesn't love laughing at the end of the day.

One student in particular always makes me laugh. She is short, has a good sense of humor, and always "mothers" everyone in class. Her feet don't touch the ground and she swings them as she listens in class. Although the students and myself give her a hard time, she always gives one back to us and I laugh the whole time. She is pretty witty for a 4'8" senior girl....and she loves her Ricker pop! Oh such a good time...

School and volleyball monopolize my time, but I'll try to update again as soon as possible!

Are you ready for some football... Here are a few of my favorite pics from the game, with a little commentary.

Running out onto the field

The Vikings started the game on offense. The Colts made a few plays, and also let up some points. The Vikings started out the game with a TD and finished the game with a total of 13 points.

When the Colts took over on offense they struggled. The line couldn't hold anyone and the defense was blitzing. I had a few pictures of Manning being sacked, but they were too sad to show. The one highlight was the play of the RBs. Both backs looked great and appears we will have a solid running game this year.

They tried out a new place kicker for the game. He made one of 2 attempts and put up the Colts only 3 points. The backup kicker does not have much power (missed a 44 yarder by about 3 yards short) so lets hope Vinateri stays healthy.

The new punter has power... he is no Hunter The Punter, but I think he will do.

Manning only played 6 snaps, I think we will play better if he sees a few dozen more a game.

I will leave you all with an image of what I expect to be a staple around Colts Nation for much of the season. Until next kickoff...Go Colts!!!
