Sports Weekend

I'm a week behind on posting as several people have pointed out, so I'll do my usual and post twice today and catch up.

 Two weekends ago, we spent Saturday on sports.  First up was the Marquette/Wisconsin basketball game at the Bradley Center.  It was our first time watching the Badger's basketball team play this year and while they have most of their players returning from the Final Four team last year, they didn't play particularly well.  Fortunately, the Marquette team didn't play any better and we were able to squeak out a win.  Jo was able to obtain two extra tickets to the game and we had Drew and Amy join us to balance out the people cheering for the two sides.

Later that day, Kathy and John came over from Madison and we went out for a drink with Drew and Amy to celebrate their engagement.  Then it was back to the Bradley Center, along with several of Jo's HR team, to watch the Admirals play.  Since the Badger's were playing Ohio State at the same time for the Big 10 championship we had that playing on the TV in the suite.  It turned out to be a pretty depressing night for all the teams.  The Admirals lost and as you probably know by now, the Badger's imploded.  Sunday morning we hiked over to City Market with Kathy and John to enjoy our traditional cinnamon roll.

The only other news worthy item for the week, besides the usual mix of working, working out, and puttering around the house, was we decorated the house for the holidays.  That means our little army of Danish figurines is once again inhabiting every room in the house.  We also baked the first batch of Christmas cookies which was my Grandmother's recipe this year.  Nothing better than frosted cookies with milk for dinner.
