Friday night we hopped into the car and after fighting through rush hour traffic arrived in Madison for a weekend of Wisconsin football with Jo's sister, Kathy. Dinner was a tasty barley soup and we sat around afterwards catching up on what has been happening since we were last together. Unfortunately, we didn't have Rocky Rocco's pizza (our favorite Madison pizza) although I don't blame Kathy since I ask for this every time we visit and I would imagine she likes to eat something besides that all the time.
Saturday morning we enjoyed an early morning run with relatively moderate temperatures (at least for Madison since it was in the 40's. Then it was off to the football game since it was an early game at 11:00. The weather was beautiful with just a few clouds and lots of bright sun. Kathy managed to get us excellent tickets that were on the 50 yard line about 20 rows up from the field. While it was a bit chilly at first, the sun eventually hit our seats and it was comfortable for the rest of the game. To complete the perfect afternoon, the Badgers played a great game and came out on top. Great way to spend the day. After the game we headed to Target to pick up some miscellaneous supplies and, most importantly, our Halloween candy. Then it was back to Kathy's for a dinner with several of Kathy's friends before getting in the car for the trip home.
Sunday continued the fine weather and after some morning yoga and weight lifting we took an hour long walk through the nearby Lake Park to enjoy the sun. Nice thing about walking about town is it easier to chat and walk side by side since you don't have to worry about tripping over roots and stones like when you hike in the woods. Of course, the scenery is a little less rustic. We then caught the Packer's game - the copied the Badgers and won, good weekend for Wisconsin sports - and then made barbecued baby-back ribs for dinner. A nice and relaxing weekend for all. Nothing too special to report for the rest of last week - Jo worked, I worked about the house, we ran and exercised.
