First of all, let me say that this is does not taste one thing like avocados, but compared to many of the other bars I eat, such as the ones from Atkins or Special K, this one probably has the best effectiveness for me in terms of calorie intake.  It just doesn’t have good flavor, nor can you taste the supposed basil and olives.  But the hotel sets them out like they are desirable, and since I am not a big fan of mints I thought I would give it a try……1 star out of 5 for sure.

But despite the hotel, we headed to Pennsylvania to see the second of Steph’s two games out there this weekend.  The first was on Friday, and Ben had school so we stayed in town.  But the second was today against #15 Indiana University of Pennsylvania.  Lindenwood is #13, but even if they weren’t, speaking entirely for every person from my home state (it’s Indiana if you haven’t guessed) I think they should have beaten them badly just for trying to steal our state name.  PLUS, if you go to or went to Indiana University HERE (in Indiana) you might feel cheated, as these students who stole your/our name have snow apparently 360 days a year and actually attend class.  What kind of program do they run there anyway?

But the identity theft and confusion did not stop the Lions from winning 19-11, which I personally declared as a vindication for all people from Indiana.  I would say for all “Hoosiers,” but many of us who are products of the state feel that name really means someone who went to IU.  It is not nearly as big an issue for me, as I went to Butler, but I wouldn’t want to call those two Purdue girls I posted about yesterday Hoosiers.  That could lead to “justifiable homicide.”  The theme of this paragraph therefore is a win for the Lindenwood Lions.

But we are not home and pretty dang tired.  It was great to see the game though and especially Steph. They head to I think Georgia, Florida, or the Carolinas next, meaning WARM games that I probably will not make it to as Ben still has school and I cannot drive that far without having to stay in a hotel.

And I am still reeling from the bar I ate at the last one.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
