I understand that Grasshopper No.4 has responsibility for providing technical assistance to sales people on the West Coast. Of course he had to visit California in February to check things out. Really? February?
UW Badger football tickets are going up in price again. It seems football ticket increases are as inevitable as death and taxes.
Today is “Fat Tuesday”. It is your chance to “pig out” before observing Lent. What better excuse do you need to forget the diets and sensible eating.
We in Wisconsin give “love” a whole different meaning than you see on the TV series the “Bachelor”. Valentines Day happened to coincide with the opening of sturgeon fishing on Lake Winnebago. It was miserable on the lake with temperatures below 0 degrees and windchills -20. The winds were creating “white outs” but that didn’t deter brave fishermen from stalking their prey. One young man apparently took his girl friend along to endure the misery. During the day he proposed marriage to her. You might say he got his prey. Eat your hearts outs “Bachelor” fans. I wonder if he speared a fish? What is bigger, getting engaged or spearing a sturgeon?
Finally, I have ofter wondered how you measure success. UW Green Bay is honoring their star guard (Sykes) with a “bobblehead”. The first 2000 fans to attend the upcoming Green Bay game will get a Sykes bobblehead, tattoos and all. Yes sir! That is it. Just like the scarecrow, tin man, and lion in The Wizard of OZ, I need something that gives testimony to who I am. I need my own bobblehead with a big heart on it!
I can’t believe I’m feeling sorry for the citizens of Boston buried under 9 feet of snow.
Love,
