Thats all Folks…, and a Survivor reminder

The Lehigh Mountain Hawks 2010 Football season has come to an end with a 42 – 20 loss to the University of Delaware on Saturday.   It was a great season for the Brown and White, advancing to the play-offs and even winning their 1st round game.    Now its time to root for the Mens Basketball team as they try to repeat as Patriot League Champions and advance to the NCAA tournament.

AverageAndy will be posting his Survivor Application Video soon,  so head on over to www.cbs.com and check it out.

Also only a handful of shows left in this season.   I have really enjoyed the season (even with the 2 woman quitting, something Average Andy would never even think off)

Until next time…

Big win by Lehigh, Survivor Video Contest, and a few other things

Big win by the Lehigh University Mountain Hawks in the 1st round of the NCAA Bowl Subdivision (1-AA) Play-Offs.  They went on the road and beat Northern Iowa 14 – 7 to move on and play the University of Delaware this week.   Should be a good game.  Lehigh may be a bit under matched, but I will be pulling for them to move on.

Was very exited to see the Survivor will again be doing a on-line video contest and award somebody (hopefully me) a chance to audition for the show.    People can start uploading their Videos on December 7th.    On or around the end of December, the people responsible for Survivor will then pick their 10 favorites.  The people of America (and maybe the world) then get a change to vote on their favorite.   The Winner is then off to California for a change to meet the producers and possibly a spot on the show.

Look for AverageAndys video to be posted once they allow them.   Hopefully I do a good job and the producers of Survivor, CBS or whoever is on the committee enjoys my video and I get picked for the top 10.   Then is will be up to all you out there to vote for me,  sending me on my way.

I have really enjoyed this season and am looking forward to the finale and see who is crowned this seasons Sole Survivor

Had a fun night out with friends the night before Thanksgiving.   It’s a annual tradition going back over 15 years.  Always a great time seeing people I haven’t seen in a while and  catching up on the year gone by.

I have been running 5K on the weekend to try to get in better shape.   Will be looking for some 5K races to enter in the new year.   Also am still thinking about running the Tough Mudder race in PA in April.

Hope everybody enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday and best wishes as we move towards Christmas and the New Year

Another great weekend

Spent Saturday as a volunteer at the Tough Mudder race at Raceway Park NJ.   Was amazed at the number of people who showed up for the 12 mile run which included swimming, running through mud, as well as tires and electric wires.  Volunteering was lots of fun and got to work with some very nice people.

After the race there was music and a bonfire to get everybody warmed up

Next race in the NY area is in April 2011 near Allentown PA.    Maybe Average Andy will be running this time

Finally  went for a short (5K) run on Sunday and then spent the rest of the day raking the last of the leave that continue to cover my lawn.

A few more days until the Thanksgiving Holiday.    Looking forward to a festive diner with the family.

Hope everybody enjoys their holiday.

Around the World for Free (CBS Web Show)

It was great watching Jeff Schroeder (of Big Brother and Amazing Race Fame) travel around the world for free with the help of the World Wide Web and people all over.    To see all the placed he visited and the people he met was an amazing journey

If you have the time you should check out his trip on www.cbs.com/world

Here is the video wrap up of his trip

Maybe someday you will be seeing  Average Andy visit some or all of the places.

Back

My Blackberry was rebuilt and after a reinstall of the WordPress App and a few google searches on some connection issues, I am back posting. I also got a new battery for my BB so I should be able to post more while on the go.

Another great weekend

Had a great day with my daughter, my buddy and his son watching the Lehigh Mountain Hawks (also the Engineers, or Brown and White) but a beating on Bucknell at beautiful Goodman Stadium on Bethlehem, PA.   A perfect fall day to watch a football game.    Lehigh improved to 5 – 2 (2 -0) and looks to be on their way to a Patriot League title and an automatic bid in the Bowl Subdivision (1-AA) play-offs

After the game, took a drive through campus (still amazed that after 25 years, I can still find my way around the campus).   The campus looks great (especially this time  of year with the trees changing colors

Yesterday, went to the movies and saw “The Social Club”.   Really enjoyed the movie.   Not sure how much is actually true, but got the impression that Mark Zuckenberg is one smart fella.

Tomorrow were off to the local farm to pick some apples with friends.

Will try to post more often

Don’t Forget

to tune into CBS tonight at 8:00 PM for a new episode of Survivor.

Really enjoying the show this year.  Was sad to see J.J. go.   If I was their, I would have aligned myself with him.

Will try to provide a weekly recap (nothing big)
