Milwaukee Bucks Basketball Game - Round 2

A pretty quiet week in Milwaukee.  Weather has been cool, but hey we live in Wisconsin what should you expect in late October - but fortunately no snow as yet.  Although, I'm getting the snow blower out this week to get it ready for another fun winter moving snow around.  I spent the week continuing to clean up the various gardens to get them ready to head through another winter.  Jo spent the week making sure we could continue to get food on the table.  Also squeezed in our usual mix of exercising although Jo's knees have been bothering her a little bit so she is trying to take it a little easier on the running front.

Our big weekend event was seeing if the Milwaukee Bucks could actually complete a whole game of basketball.  We received tickets from the Bucks to make up for the cancelled game the other week, so we headed back to the Bradley Center to enjoy an evening of sports.  The team decided to use the old floor, not the new, all-to-slippery brand new floor (there's some serious dollars wasting away somewhere - although we've been told they are trying to refinish it), and apparently the old floor worked just fine as the game managed to make it all the way to the end.  We had great time although the Bucks lost the game - we aren't sure if we have ever been to a game where the Bucks won, maybe we are bad luck for them.

On Sunday, Jo headed to Phoenix for a business trip while I puttered around the house doing some of my work week chores ahead of schedule.  I then took the afternoon off, watched a little football and did a little reading (which might involved some amount of time with my eyes closed).

To close this week's post, if you want to understand just how frugal Jo really is - here is a picture of her slippers that I finally managed to convince her needed to be tossed out.  Understand that they have looked like this for over a year!  Some early childhood lessons can't ever be unlearned, but you got to love her.
