Marquette 94 Georgetown 82

What a fantastic time we had yesterday in Milwaukee. We drove up a little early and hit the Alumni store. We got t-shirts for the boys and I snarfed a sweet MU fleece. Then went to Sprecher for some root beer syrup for the boys and a case of "treats" for daddy (which will tide me over probably until the summer). After that we hit the Bradley Center for the big game. I saw Len Kasper at the game and said a quick hello, we (me, Brookie and the boys dined on hot dogs and french fries) and headed to our wonderful seats. Court side, we were not...section 418, row Q, this is the LAST ROW. We all had a fantastic time. I texted Matt Liskh, my roommate from Sophomore year and we wandered over to visit him during the first half.

The boys loved the game, and especially the victory. We hit Kopps for some custard and brought home a half gallon of chocolate chip cookie dough.

A wonderful, wonderful time was had by all.

15 Year College Reunion Recollections

This last weekend was my 15 year college reunion at Marquette in Milwaukee, WI.

Random Thoughts:

• I know how my kids feel when we have guests come to the house. They're so excited and don't know how to process it, so they'll yell "HIDE!!!" even when people are coming to see them. THAT'S how I felt when Rob and Matt were en route to pick me up on Friday.
• Rob needs to shave that hair under his lip. He's got a handsome face and he shouldn't hide it, unless he has his heart set on playing Cyndi Lauper's dad (Captain Lou Albano) in her next video.
• Matt has a great sense of humor and has balls the size of church bells. His brown eye was winking at that lady by the statue.
• I closed Wolski's (pretty much).
• I didn't think it was possible, but Devin and Jen are even more fun to be around now than when we were in college.
• I can't drink like I used to, and that's OK and no I'm not angry about it (or anything else).
• Trinity in Milwaukee rocks. Their Bailey's Battered French Toast was fantastic!
• Amber is quite the dish (no wonder the girls wanted to try her cherry chapstick). She and Jeff are great together.
• I realized I dress like an old man when a 50 year old complemented me on my shirt (he was wearing the same one).
• Pete Berzins was great to talk to and he and Nicole are great couple.
• Lakefront Brewery has the best tours, even if you don't get into one.
• My RA from Sophomore year at Mashuda is a State Representative in Michigan. If you live in the "Fightin' 79th" District of Michigan, vote for John Proos. http://johnproos.com/index.php
• Jeff is A LOT of fun to hang with at the bar. He takes tremendous pride in making sure all his friends are taken care of.
• The bartender who put on "Beat It" at around 12:30 AM at Murph's deserves a raise.
• I married very well. Much like my relationship with my family, I'm pretty sure my friends like Brooke better than me and I'm fine with that because they LOVE her.
• Rob's blanket apology to anyone he may have offended the night before with his actions.
• Skipping out at Real Chili never gets old. No, not me, but someone I know did.
• Water Street Brewery has the coolest chef in town because he hates the Red Wings and bought me a beer because of my Blackhawks shirt.
• I'm so very lucky to have such wonderful people let me hang out with them and call them my friends.

Peace!
