I was hoping to post pictures of our sprouting peas this week, but unfortunately the weather has turned cooler in April, and while we have one pea sprout it would take a camera with a tremendous lens to do it justice. Hopefully, next weekend we can start the photo spreads of our vegetables (I know you just can't wait). Instead the photo montage this week is from our weekend of enjoying Milwaukee sports.
Friday night we attended the Milwaukee Admirals hockey game (the team is in the American Hockey league - I think it is a farm team for the NHL, but I couldn't seem to find that information on their web page). As at most sporting events, any more, the entertainment between the periods/quarters was fascinating. I personally like the human sling shot event and would love to do it myself. And of course, it wouldn't be a WI sporting event without involving food somehow - while we didn't get the racing "port cheeses" this time we had to admit pushing a hamburger on the ice with your head comes in a close second. Saturday night we headed back to the Bradley Center to watch the Milwaukee Bucks play the NJ Nets. We also got to compare the Bucks indoor blimp to the Admirals one (the Buck's win since they apparently can afford a much bigger and fancier blimp). The other highlight, at least according to several of the ladies joining us, was Chris Humphries plays for the Nets (that's Kim Kardashian's ex - I only include this fact to increase the number of hits this web page gets in search engines!). We had a great time both nights meeting people from Jo's team at Northwestern Mutual (we were using their suite at the Bradley Center) and enjoying the games. For those keeping track we went 50% this weekend, with the Admirals losing and the Bucks winning.
For the remainder of the weekend, we spent Saturday morning exercising and reading the paper. Then Saturday afternoon, I tackled a new book and computer game while Jo also worked on her computer skills by working on a game she has going on her IPad (yes that is a new IPad since the other one has yet to be turned up by United). Today we are planning to go to Parade of Homes like event where several houses that where either newly built or remodeled are open for visits. Also, Jo's sister is joining us for the tour and dinner.
The rest of the week was relatively quiet for both of us. Jo's week was busy, but nothing out of the ordinary, although she did have an after work event with some folks from Professional Dimensions (a local group of business women that she is joining). I puttered around the house knocking off a few of the smaller chores that needed to done. I also put a little more time on our raised beds although hit a few snags that required some parts from online stores to get past.

You would think that in Milwaukee the blimp would have some kind of beer theme....
