Our First Admirals Game of the Season

Jo spent part of the week enjoying the warmth in Phoenix on business while I puttered around the house enjoying our unseasonably warm weather in Milwaukee.  El Nino is certainly giving us a wonderful late fall/early winter as we had several days in the 60's which for us is positively balmy - especially when compared to the last few years.  And according to the weather reports the nice weather may continue into next week.


We are slowly working our way through the Milwaukee sports offerings - this last Friday it was the Admirals turn.  The Admirals, for those that have forgotten, are the farm team for the Nashville Predators.  And for those that really don't follow sports - we are talking about a hockey team.  We were joined at the Northwestern suite by several of Jo's HR team so not only did we get to watch a fun game, I continue to slowly learn more about the people who work with Jo.  It was an exciting game since apparently these two teams don't like each other since they spent a good part of the game fighting - something I still believe should be eliminated from hockey.  For those keeping track - the Admirals won so we are a complete jinx for the Admirals like we are for the Bucks.

Saturday after our usual morning workouts, we were joined by Kathy, Drew, and several of Drew's groomsmen to watch the Badger football game.  They were all in town to get the tuxedo shopping out of the way for Drew's upcoming nuptials.  Afterwards we headed to Benji's diner where I continued my club sandwich's  across America campaign.  And yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the bacon on the sandwich, despite the WHO warnings.  If I go, at least I'll go happy.

Sunday we walked up to City Market for our favorite cinnamon rolls before Kathy headed back to Madison afterwords we worked on a few chores around the house.  Also, sorry about the blimp shot - but I just love the Admiral's blimp floating around inside the Bradley arena.
