I was exercising this morning and a friend mentioned that they had just visited their doctor for a checkup. The doctor commented that he liked to see his patients carry a little extra weight (not fat) because they seem to weather any minor illness better. I asked the friend for the name of the doctor. I am switching to someone who likes my carrying extra weight. It was music to me ears.
I understand that the fate of the $1 billion high speed train from Milwaukee to Madison might get stopped. It had a top speed of 71 mph (so much for high speed). Europe has trains that approach 200 mph. Cancellation of the “high speed train” is symbollic of fiscal restraint. We don’t need a high speed train. We don’t want it. There are better ways to spend $1 billion. More music to my ears.
Randy Moss, the tall rangy pass receiver that was picked up by the Minnesota Vikings because Brett Favre wanted a “deep pass threat”, is gone after 4 weeks. It is an indication that the Vikings are beginning to “listen less” to Big Brett. It was the right decision. Moss is a negative influence where ever he goes. His mouth is always flapping and nothing intelligent comes out. It also means that Brett won’t be back. He is losing his magic. Awwww! Music to my ears.
UW Badgers play Purdue Saturday. They should win.
Packers play Sunday night at Lambeau against the Dallas. This is a trick game. Dallas is dangerous despite a 1-6 record. A Packer win would be “music to my ears”.
Stay warm.
Love,
Dad
