I mentioned in a blog entry a few weeks back that at the annual Green Bay Packers Shareholders meeting, we filmed a commercial for Citgo after the meeting. They just needed some folks to stick around and mostly make up the crowd shots. So my friend JJ and I did that.
I just got a recording [...]

I’ve got some pretty slick score updates for the Anaheim Angels coming to my cell phone now-a-days. I’ve been subscribed to game updates through Yahoo Alerts for several years. Now I’ve set it up so that when an update is sent, it goes to a program on my web server first, which parses the text [...]

I don’t live off sarcasm often, but I just couldn’t help it with the title of this blog entry. Sorry.
Geez. Brett Favre left town today; he headed back home to Hattiesburg, MS. And the headlines on local 6:00 news indicate that Favre has played his last game for the Green Bay Packers. And now everyone [...]

In the middle of July every year, I join my fellow Packers shareholders at the annual meeting. This year was no exception. I was at Lambeau Field a little more than a week ago, on Thursday July 23. I love this meeting.
Even though the tickets are all general admission, I always prefer to sit in [...]

The Brett Favre unretirement issue has been brewing for a few weeks now. And I have yet to write about it. As a Green Bay Packers shareholder and season ticket owner, I definitely have some strong feelings about what is right. And like all Packer fans, if you’re feelings are different than mine, then you’re [...]

My favorite TV news man died today. Tim Russert was the NBC Washington bureau chief, and for the past 17 years, moderator of Meet The Press. Russert was at the NBC studios in Washington this morning when he collapsed from a heart attack, what his doctor called a “sudden coronary thrombosis”. He died immediately.
When it [...]

The sportsmanship committee of the WIAA is recommending a ban against fans with bare or painted chests from indoor games. The story is all over the internet, including our local TV station, Fox 11 news, who ran the story along with a clip of some boys from West De Pere High School who had painted [...]

I’ve been playing racquetball quite regularly for a couple of years. Some weeks, it’s difficult to schedule the time, but lately, it’s been going well. Here’s my court time for the past week:
Wed 3/26 - doubles with my wife and some neighbors
Thu 3/27 - singles against my cousin Tim
Sat 3/29 - singles against my neighbor [...]

It’s been a month since I last wrote, but I’ve been thinking a lot. Quite a lot. And I realize that this blogger has been doing a lot of complaining and ranting lately. I don’t know why. I suppose it’s political season and I’m seeing and hearing a lot that I don’t like. But tonight, [...]

Well, another Thanksgiving holiday is in the books. Tricia puts on a very nice Thanksgiving dinner here at our house every year. I made the mashed potatoes and carved the turkey, but the whole event is pretty much Tricia’s creation.
This year was cool because the Packers also played (yes, they beat the Lions 37-26). So, [...]

Geez, I don’t know why we do this. We are all so sensitive in this country, the United States. We try so hard not to discriminate against women. We don’t like when we see discrimination against minorities. We even have federal laws that protect us from such behavior. All good stuff.
But what about the white [...]

I played racquetball again tonight. This is the second time I’ve played now since my arm has healed from the break. Friday night was good. Tricia and I played a match and there was no pain. Though my arm was a bit sore on Saturday.
So tonight Tricia and I played doubles with the Konshaks. We [...]
