Showcase Thursday Presented by T Rowe Price – Indiana vs Michigan – Conference Tip-Off Week – ESPN 2 – 9et
Wednesday morning I needed to drive from West Lafayette to Ann Arbor. Dumb me, thought it was a 3 hour drive. Figured that was easier that driving an hour plus back to Indy and catching a flight to Detroit, then driving to Ann Arbor.
Well, I was wrong. It’s a 5 hour drive. Nothing I could do about it now. Set out mid-morning. It was a beautiful day actually! Most all the snow had melted from the roads, thankfully, since it was mostly country roads thru Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan.
As I approached one town in Michigan, I had the feeling that I had been there before. Hmmm….
Wait - I’ve been at that hotel before… I stayed there in July of 2007 with mom & dad while we attended a family reunion in a town nearby.
I arrived in Ann Arbor in late afternoon. Got settled. Still feeling crappy with all the snot.
Decided to just eat dinner at the hotel – even though it was a Sheraton 4 Points.
Fatal error.
Dinner sucked beyond belief!
The side ceasar had rusty lettuce.
I just wanted a “Nicole salad” – someday I will be home long enough to make one again.
When I asked the server, “Is the meat on the French Dip lean?” He said, “I don’t know what the means.”
Not a good sign.
Thursday’s game was good. I really enjoy working with this crew!
On Friday morning I met up with an old friend for breakfast. We went to Zingerman’s.
Zingerman’s is a deli that is absolutely delish! Very expensive – but worth it once in a while!
After spending a few hours catching up, I hit the road. Had about 3 hours ahead of me. And the Michigan to Columbus drive is quite possibly one of my least favorites.
A welcome sign…. (in more ways than one!)
