I am headed to Syracuse tomorrow for the day. I heard they got 9-10 inches of the dang snow yesterday. Nearly shut them down. Thank goodness we decided on Thursday for the road trip. We had no snow here, I even skipped my jacket for part of the day.
Good-it is raining harder again...
I’d like the pic and pillow in more muted shades-that would mirror my surroundings better. That will have to wait till I build another house, though-it will be very, very different from this one-only my ideas and preferences, and that means blending seamlessly as possible into the environment, with not even a bush cut unless necessary, and even the exterior finishes blending into the woods...
Your team just traded to get my favorite player. You’ll love Erat. He’s been my favorite for the past 6 years at least. This is why I get my own name on jerseys.
Dear friends,What a morning! Our new mayor is already at city hall, and will be contacting you as soon as he is back. (Don't worry, he is still "RESPONSIVE" and "ACCESSIBLE" and "WILL LISTEN TO YOU")
We talked until the wee hours of the morning, long after the celebration, and our conversations were all about you. As Dan keeps saying, this was a victory of the heart. All of yours.
He is a humble guy, and as he was being interviewed by several this morning, his words are all about YOU, his team. You put so much time and energy and money in to this campaign, into your belief that Mequon's future is now in Dan's capable hands. It certainly gives me a sense of peace. I have believed in him since day one. I know he will do a fine job.
This victory belongs you. Let's keep it rolling. He still needs you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love to you all,
Bridget
Very nice.
No sooner do I leave the country than the Penguins lose.
it was you leaving and not Sid’s absence, i feel quite sure...
Saw that yesterday, there was lots of drama with people waiting to see what the deal was. Apparently they needed to reach Forsberg in Sweden before breaking the news. There are a lot of mixed emotions. Lots of people are bitter that the highly touted Forsberg was traded away, but Sam’s point was, well he isn’t even playing at the top level in Sweden, everyone’s reacting to what his POTENTIAL was perceived to be in bemoaning this loss, but there’s no way to actually know if he would live up to that potential. Plenty of first round draft picks do not. And Erat is acknowledged to be a top 6 forward. There was a funny tweet from your Preds announcer to our announcer, Wes Johnson, saying i think the trade is you for me, wes!
Don’t think it was either. They can win without him. Sometimes you are just due for a bad day.
“Was” seems to be the operative word there. This is the same Forsberg who was with the Avs back when they were on top?
Our announcer Paul McCann is HILARIOUS!
Well, that’s different then. They should come up with more names over there.
