A Weekend of Sports

The temperatures have moved back to normal so our ten days of 40-50 degree weather is over - probably until April.  While we are above average for precipitation we are below our usual snow amounts since most of what fell in January was rain.  It would be nice to get a couple of nice snow falls so we could get in a little more cross country skiing.

We spent most of the weekend at various sports arenas around town.  Friday night we headed to the UW Panther's arena to watch our minor league hockey team, the Admirals.  Fortunately this time we didn't have a puck come wizzing by our heads and it was a great game with the home town team winning.  After the game we got to enjoy a concert by Daya - interesting what accompanies minor league sports to draw in a crowd.  Daya gave a good performance and we amazingly knew three of her songs.  I'm probably not going to rush out and buy her album but the songs we knew, we liked.

Saturday it was back downtown to watch the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Boston Celtics.  Exciting game as the Bucks managed to tie the game up with seconds to go to send the game into overtime.  They ultimately lost in overtime, but we still enjoyed the evening eating pizza and chatting with some of Jo's HR team.

The rest of the weekend was given over to a few chores and mostly just catching up on some reading and, of course, a nap.  I can't seem to read without my eyes closing anymore - it's great to get a little more sleep, but does make it hard to get to the end of a book.
