We're Smelling Roses

This is a new video celebrating the Wisconsin Football Badgers.  This year is a big deal.  Championships and Rose Bowls don't happen often enough (yet).  Enjoy it, Bucky!

W.A.S.P. Live Earlier This Year

I'm up late browsing Youtube watching recent live videos of W.A.S.P. when it occurred to me to check to see if there were any vids posted yet from the show I saw earlier this year at Scatz in Middleton.  There were two, and here they are:

W.A.S.P. - On Your Knees / The Real Me (great sound!)


W.A.S.P. - I Wanna Be Somebody

First Snow Arrived, As Expected

As promised, the first snowfall of the season arrived late last night and flurried out today.  I'm not sure of the official total, but my wife said it looks like we got 4 inches.  I didn't take many pictures, in fact this is the only one I took when Kate just started shovelling.  Unfortunately my leg and required use of crutches, walker, or sometimes cane prevents me from doing it myself.  Believe me, I wish I could. 

First Snow Expected Tonight

We bought a bag of hay at Ace the other day to cover the strawberry bed for the winter.  You can read more about it at my garden blog.  Probably the last post there for the year.  I only mention it here because nothing else has happened this week.

We are expecting our first snowstorm of the season tonight.  I've heard anywhere from 2-6 inches, starting tonight and ending tomorrow night.  This is the beginning of no-fun time for anti-winter people like me.  Alas, I manage to deal with it, year after year.

The Sports Geek In Me

Here's the sports geek that I have become:  I really enjoyed this little article, A (forgotten) drive for the ages, on Green Bay's game-tying drive at the end of their loss to Atlanta on Sunday.  In fact, this blog is one of my daily reads,  Kevin Seifert's ESPN NFC North Blog (also listed on the right).

College Pranks

I just laughed myself silly at this!  More here.  Via Bit and Pieces
