On my way to Michigan for the rest of the week and the Labor Day weekend. Don’t worry; we’ll have fresh DahlCasts for you every day except Labor Day Monday. I am bringing my magic voice box with me to the mitten-shaped state. I would invite Team Dahl up but hey really need to be in my basement for everything to go as planned. Maybe I should invest in a portable recorder, so they can join me on my adventures. I’m sure that Pete would be a blast at a midweek MI pool party. Don’t forget to check out my article in Wednesday’s issues of the Chicago Tribune. It’s also Tell A Friend Tuesday, so do that too. You’re planning on attending the MNF parties at Trader Vic’s too, right? Don’t mean to be such a whore, but your continued support is of great importance to me, and how will you know what to support, if I don’t clue you in? Comprende?

I don’t know if you had a chance to watch the Emmy Awards, but I found them to be quite enjoyable. Jimmy Fallon relied a little bit too much on his musical impressions, I thought, but for the most part they were very entertaining. For some reason (as I Twittered), I was quite taken with Amy Poehler’s breast. I know she just had a baby, so that is borderline creepy, if not all the way creepy, but I have to call them as I see them. After we record Monday’s DahlCast, I’m going to sneak out to the golf course and play a few holes. I was encouraged by the fact that Larry Wert said I was much better this year at the Ditka golf outing than I was last year when we golfed together. Butthead also said that I was “very close” to getting it. That’s encouragement enough for me.

I am golfing in the Gridiron Greats Mike Ditka’s Bears legends Golf Classic on Friday. I was talked into it my Larry Wet at Mike Dahl’s Wedding. I am still very much a work in progress when it comes to my golf game. I was thinking that if I could get Elin Nordegren and make her my girlfriend and then break up with her, maybe I could start playing well like Tiger did on Thursday. I’m already cheating on her with my wife, so it shouldn’t take things too long to come to a head. I’ll be at the Beverly CC all day Friday, Elin, if you happen to be on the South Side. I’m golfing with LW, Butthead and the guy who runs WLS Radio. Kevin Matthews will be there for a ride-along and I hear that Johnny B. might stop by later in the afternoon to knock the ball around a little bit. I’ll Keep you posted.

Mike Dahl is now a married man, and he is in Hawaii with Kathryn. I think that the parents of the wedding couple are the ones who deserve a break, or “honeymoon ‘ if you will after the nuptials. We are exhausted here at my house, that’s all I’m saying. The wedding went very well, and you can hear all about it Monday’s DahlCast. Also, if you have the time, maybe you could take the PodTrac listener survey. It would be very helpful to us in terms of getting some hard facts on who our audience is. We obviously need to do that to keep this thin up and running. I can’t think of anything else to write here tonight, since I spent three hours laboring over Wednesday’s Tribune piece. Writing a column is like childbirth: sometimes it takes forever, and sometimes it drops right out.
