Saturday

The Notre Dame Club of Los Angeles has hosted viewing parties at various establishments around here over the years.

Aimee went to the San Diego St. get-together a couple of weeks ago with one of her former classmates who was in town.

Today, we watched the game against Michigan State from the couch at home. This gives us a chance to take care of a few things around the house while the game is on and to forget about how it's going to be another long year for the Irish.

After the game, Aimee went to go get a haircut and Rosebud and I went to pick grapes from the yard. We have many bunches of purple grapes growing among some ivy in the back.

They are sweet and smell very good, but we won't be producing any Merlot anytime soon.

Next week, we'll tune in to the Purdue game and hope for a turnaround for ND.
