Hey everyone,So, I mentioned that the (parked) car had a little incident with a hit and run driver at about 2am Tuesday morning. Lots of people were asking about the damage; so rather than try to describe it, see above. There is also a bit of damage to the hood and grill but not nearly as bad as the rear. The worst thing is that it's going to cost us our $500 deductible to get the car fixed. What a joke...anyways, let's move on to the happier aspects of this blog.
The Bucks, The Bucks, Light it up, Light it up! Great game last night against the Celtics. I don't think we scored any points the last two minutes of the game, but we managed to eek out a win. Clearly, the Celts aren't the team they used to be. Their big 3 are pretty miserable right now, and the best player they have is Rondo, by a mile. If the season ended today, the Bucks would actually meet Atlanta in the first round. But the Celtics are only a half game ahead of Atlanta. So a first round matchup with the Celtics is certainly possible.
It's hard to put your finger on the reason for the Bucks' success this season, but the new attitude has to be at least partially responsible. Bogut and Jennings are just fearless this year. I loved Bogut staring down Glen Davis last and Jennings just yelling at Garnett in the tunnel. It's kinda sad, but in the NBA, you only get respect when you demand it. You only get foul calls when you argue about them. So the Bucks are doing what you have to do in order to be successful in the NBA. Also, I'd like to add a plug for Salmons. We picked this guy up for next to nothing from the Bulls, and now, he is clearly our best option at the 2. Great managerial move.
Thanks to Yans for getting me to another Bucks game.
Quick side note: did anyone see that New Glarus just came out with a new pale ale? I'm not sure if it's even available yet, but certainly worth a try. Any brewery that puts out Spotted Cow, Stone Soup and Fat Squirrel definitely gets my backing. I'll have to make an attempt to get my hands on some of this new Moon Man Pale Ale in the near future.
Can I also just give a quick plug to the Cran-Orange-Pumpkin muffin at Alterra? I had one this morning that was just fantastic. As some of you know, I probably eat about three of them a week, and I am considering bumping it up to 4...haha. Just too good.
Last bit of positive news: C getting her bonus today....booya. Way to go Sugar mama. We are definitely getting a nice dinner with it!
Well, that's all I've got right now. Spring break is so close, I can taste it.
Until the next blog, peace.
Omg! The poor Honda! On a side note, are we going to do a March Madness battle this year? I need to win some money :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, poor Honda fell victim to some crazy b's drunkeness.
ReplyDeleteAs for a bracket challenge, the problem is that I am leaving for FL on Sunday, same day as the brackets come out. So I would need to set up the bracket deal while I am in FL. There is a slight, slight, slight chance that might happen. If it does, I am definitely considering an "In a Nutshell" bracket challenge. I'd have to think of a good prize for the winner. Either way, everyone should fear me this year b/c Michigan won't be in the tourney to cloud my judgment like last year.
I think the winner should receive a "Beer Sampling Night" comprised of Jon Cattey's favorites along with a home cooked meal from Christina!
ReplyDeleteYou can get internet at the Gulf & Bay Clubhouse if you bring your laptop :-)
Ahh, the joys of city living - and no garage - and more drunken drivers on the road at 2 a.m. The Honda looks pretty beat up - but 3 cheers for Sugar Momma's bonus...and Florida.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I definitely expect a blog when "Glee" premieres in April. I know you love it. (haha)
Ok, assuming I can get this bracket thing rolling, the winner will receive a Beer Sampling paid for by me...but also drank with me. Haha. I can't comment on the homecooked meal by Christina. She will have to be the boss of that.
ReplyDeleteThere will never be a Glee blog...as much as Ryan would like one.
