January Doldrums


Yes...the middle of january..
this post-Packer season-
pre-superbowl limbo -
when we pine for warmer
weather -- yearning for
spring-planting time, outdoor
biking/kayaking/hiking...
the snow's getting tiresome..
Cabin fever is on the horizon ..
...Or is this just Me ?


Well..we have made do by enjoying
local resources...Kathy's brothers &
sisters gathered in town ( a once in
a blue-moon occurance !) We checked
out the Art museum , Alterra coffee..






Seven Seas & La Rev
restaurants..
and of course -






Good times at our
homes , visiting..
Plenty of quality time
socializing.....
.. keeping those
January Chills
at bay...

twenty-ten......two thousand-ten ......MMX




Whatever we choose to call it....it's HERE and
it's NOW...

So pick one and move on...






Kathy & I ushered in the New Year
paying Maureen & Tom a quick visit
to give Their Big Event a Kick-Start..
(so to speak) and then we went up
near UWM to the Mirimar Theatre
...there to partake in the festivities
known as 'The Dead Man's Circus'
..a variety burlesque /Vaudeville
show...There's nothing quite like
seeing a sword-wielding master of
ceremonies chop a watermelon in half
that is resting on top of a belly-dancer ,
who is lying on a bed of nails - to keep you up past midnite...
(BTW ---These 2 pics are at the Mirimar -- not at M & T's basement party --)
We then had all the Schneider family,
Louise & the kids over on the 2nd
for Amy's B'Day ...
Homemade pizza was the Feast D'jour
...and 28 candles were to be feared , as
Amy was once again in the spotlite...
..At least we didn't make her wear that
'Elvira hairpiece' that showed up Last
year ! (Jan. 18 blog)
WOW!
Almost the 1 - year anniversary of
this blog...well , I can't say the readership
has grown by leaps & bounds (maybe if
I offered a free Guinness per visit ?)..
But i do understand Most blogs die a natural death by this time....
So...as any Guinness-swilling bloke would say : Hoist your Ale High , me maties , and
here's a big HUZZAH to 2010 !
