We have 16 teams signed up for our Christmas tournament. We still can use a few more for the annual event. Take a look at times and dates this week when you bowl!!
Our Badgers have been a disappointment this year both in the football and basketball programs. I see the Badgers football team takes on the Gophers this Saturday at 3:00 and of course play for the infamous axe!! I think the Badgers will definitely have their hands full!!!
The Packers clinched the NFC North this past Sunday!!! Great job Pack!!!
I caught my son chewing on electrical cords. So I had to ground him. He’s doing better currently, and now conducting himself properly!! Watt???

Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.
Proud Mother
When my son graduated from high school, he had to give a speech. He began by reading from his prepared text.
“I want to talk about my mother and the wonderful influence she has had on my life,” he told the audience. “She is a shining example of parenthood, and I love her more than words could ever do justice.”
At this point he seemed to struggle for words. After a pause, he looked up with a sly grin and said, “Sorry, but it’s really hard to read my mother’s handwriting.”
I told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Tuesday.
