Settling in…
Well, we survived our first weekend in California. After sleeping in on Saturday (kind of), we ran some errands so that our temporary home (apartment actually) has all the amenities that we need to survive over the next couple of weeks. The Pleasanton Farmers' Market,...
Cat on a plane…
We're all here...safe and sound! We arrived late last night...after what seemed like the longest flight from MKE to SFO, the longest car rental line ever, having to navigate construction on the ride from the airport to our temporary housing in Pleasanton, AND the fun...
It’s happening…
No, it's REALLY happening! The cars got loaded up today and we shall see them again on July 30th...that's right, TWO weeks from today we will get them out in California. I don't want to know what happens with our vehicles between now and then, but just get them to...
I got to say…
It was a good day (cue Ice Cube)! Yesterday I had the opportunity to have one final breakfast with the Assholes + Carla (the Assholes know who they are). This group of misfits (myself included) have a very special bond and I am going to miss working and hanging out...
Last weekend in Wisconsin…
And what a weekend it was! From golfing Friday afternoon to steaks at Five O’Clock Steakhouse to bar dice at the Country Club to fist pumping/shoulder shrugging at Joe-Cat’s…it was awesome and everything I could have asked for in my last stand…MKE style. Thanks...
Pickleball Madness…
How many of you have played pickleball in PE class in high school? I'm sure many of you have. It's a great indoor activity to do during the doldrums of winter (trust me)...and it's fun! Well, pickleball is becoming increasingly more popular across the United States...
I love grass…
I have always enjoyed cutting the grass. As a kid growing up, I mowed my parents' lawn and other lawns throughout the neighborhood. I didn't consider it a chore, I just loved doing it. In high school, I worked on the River Course at Blackwolf Run in Kohler and cut...
Favre forever…?
I am still not all in on the Brett Favre reunion tour like most people, but I'm getting there...slowly. Articles like the one that appeared in last week's Sports Illustrated and interviews like this with Jason Wilde and Bill Johnson on Green & Gold Today help...
Break up the Brewers…or at least trade them…
The Milwaukee Brewers are the hottest team in baseball! Yes, your Milwaukee Brewers have won 8 straight games overall (also won 9 of last 11 games) and just finished up a 7-0 road trip sweep with 99 total hits. That 7-0 road trip was just the 2nd in franchise history...
USA, USA, USA…
Where were you on July 10, 1999? Believe it or not, I was at Sportsman's Bar in Cedar Grove that day watching the final of the FIFA Women's World Cup between the United States and China. Home from school for the summer, and looking for a place to drink and take in...
Hot dogs…
Happy 4th of July! Enjoy your day and try to eat as many hot dogs as THIS GUY. Seriously, I dare you to eat just 6 dogs, or 8, or 10...I'm sure you won't regret it. And if you accomplish this feat, let me know how things are tomorrow...I'm sure you'll have your own...
Vaughn’s Valley…
Happy 50th Birthday Greg Vaughn!!! Vaughn, who the Brewers selected fourth overall in the 1986 draft, finished his Brewer career with a .246/.333/.459 batting line, 169 home runs, and 566 RBIs in 903 games over eight seasons. He was one of the very few bright spots...
1st of tha month…
Nothing like a little Bone Thug-N-Harmony to ring in July 1st. At least that is the song I assume played in every NBA front office as free agency officially got underway at 12:01 am EST. And wouldn't you know it...Al-Farouq Aminu was the first player off the board for...
And so it begins…and ends.
The hardest letter I have ever written. Thank you Kewaskum for the last 13 years. It has been an enjoyable ride and I will miss each and every one of you. Best of luck and Go Indians! "Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean I’ll miss you...
