It appears that the next coach for the UW Badger football team will be Paul Chryst. He has a Wisconsin pedigree. Let me see! It took one day to find a replacement for Gary Anderson, the resigning coach. So much for grieving.
The last time a coach left (Bret Bielema), Athletic Director Barry Alverez graciously agreed to be the “temporary coach” for the impending bowl game. He coached the Rose Bowl team to a loss. What a guy! Oh yeah, he got a bonus of over $100,000 for his extra effort. Again after losing it’s coach, Barry has graciously decided to coach the upcoming Outback Bowl against Auburn. I’m sure this time it will be for free (and I believe in the Easter Bunny).
This year more of our Christmas shopping has been via Amazon.com and other online websites. The result is the UPS truck, the Postal Service and Fed-X have been steady visitors to our house. I think we save money with cyber purchases but who really knows. Some deliveries come to the front door and are placed on the door step. Some deliveries require a door bell. Narrow packages are placed between the storm door and our front door. Some packages are placed on a ledge between garage doors. Small “stuff” gets jammed in the mailbox. Common practice is to leave packages somewhere on the property hoping you will eventully find it. Frankly, it becomes like an Easter Egg Hunt. Years ago (?), a delivery would never be left on a door step because it might be stolen. Apparently that delivery rule doesn’t apply any more. Would you believe a rented “U-haul” truck made our last delivery.
I have to admit that ordering a gift with “the push of a button” is an easy way to spend money. Sometimes too easy.
If we aren’t home when you have our Christmas gift delivered, just park it in the driveway and leave the keys under the floor mat.
Love,
Dad
