Let's Go Milwaukee Bucks

We had a quiet weekend, for once and spent it nesting at home as much as possible.  Friday night, Jo hosted some of her HR team at the Milwaukee Bucks game which was their home opener under the new management.  The team actually won, which is almost a first for us watching the Bucks, so maybe there is some hope for the team.  It was nice meeting some more of Jo's team along with their spouses and the pizza at the Bradley Center was as tasty as ever.


Saturday we started our morning with a long walk to enjoy the sun and cool temperatures.  Then it was off to the gym for a little biking and lifting before settling in to watch the Badger's play Rutgers.  The afternoon was spent tackling a few chores around the house and then Kathy and John joined us later in the evening (they were in town for a brunch with Drew and Amy and the "potential" in-laws, no rings yet, but signs are promising).  We got to enjoy their photos of their recent trip to Italy where they took in Rome, Florence, and Venice along with a few other stops along the way.  It was amazing how it brought back memories of our trip and even the ability to remember things we thought were long forgotten.  Really made us want to go back - maybe in 2015.


Jo was up early on Sunday for a business trip to Phoenix so we didn't really get to enjoy the extra hour of sleep.  She arrived safely and was able to get in a hike to the top of Camelback Mountain (for those not in the know, Jo is showing her school spirit, flashing a W - it's a Badger thing).  I spent the day goofing off and working hard at not accomplishing anything productive.  I was quite successful, but then practice makes perfect.  Rest of the week has been quiet if you ignore the leaking plumbing in the basement which has required multiple trips to the hardware store along with some serious cursing and bruised knuckles.  It was good that Jo was in Phoenix and didn't have to listen to everything coming out of the basement.  The fun thing with a 100 year old house's plumbing that relies on galvanized piping is that every time you take apart one joint, three others decide it is now time to leak.  But with my fingers and toes crossed, I think I have stopped all the leaks - for now.
