Up Nort'

I'm headed up nort' to Wausau, WI tomorrow with Jason to visit with Pete, Babs and all the usual suspects. After a stop at the hotel and the local liquor store for the Spotted Cow ... beverages and snacks at Pete and Babs' residence, then off to meet Babs at Mino's for dinner. Mmm Mmm Mmm, I can already taste what I'm having. Hey Peteski, tell Mino's to lay in some of that good fermented grape stuff we had last time, eh?

On Sunday, Jason and I make the pilgrimage to the one, the only, Lambeau Field. Yes, we are going to the Colts/Packers game, and OH HELL YES I am excited!!! We'll get there some early to take pictures and wander the place appropriately. Post game, we'll head a bit south from Green Bay to some town I can't pronounce the name of to stay the night.

Monday we get up and traverse back. A short weekend but a good one.

To give you an idea of what I'm in for, this is the email Peteski sent me today:

"Quit yer grinnin' …and pull up yer linen – yer headin’ nort!

I believe you said (by the way, I cannot find the link to your blog since my computer was rejiggered – please resend) that you liked the cheese curd concept, have I got good news for you: one of my driver’s discovered a little cheese factory between East Jesus & Bumfuck, and do they turn out a great product – cheap! You might be bound up tighter ‘n Aunt Nellie’s knickers, but you’ll have scratched that curd itch.

Otherwise all systems are go: civil & emergency authorities have been notified, the booze laid in and the usual suspects invited – we’re all set! Just drive safe and we’ll look for you in 35 hours. Petrovski"

Damn, I can't wait!
