Cold

I don't mean to turn this into a weather blog, but man it is cold. We've had a great deal of snow and a great deal of cold. It gets to be a bit too much and it is only December. Every winter I tell myself that it is the last winter in Wisconsin for me. But I will tell you that there for every degree between 5 and 75 there are 20 times more reasons to stay here.

Later on today we will ring the bell for the Salvation Army, eat and then head to a Milwaukee Bucks game. I am not sure who they are playing... I see that it is the Utah Jazz. The Utah Jazz that's about the goofiest combination of names. That's as goofy as the Los Angeles Lakers. Why oh why don't these teams change their names when they move. When I think of Utah, I think of Utah's bountiful and rich jazz history. When I think of Los Angeles, the first thing I think of are all of the beautiful lakes for recreation. Whatever. That's like when the Houston Oilers moved to Tennesse and were the Oilers for years, at least that changed the name, although Titans is pretty non-descript. Heck, even the Commish was smart enough to change the name of the Pilots when he moved them to Milwaukee. Sports team nick names should reflect their locale. That's what I think. It's best that way. That's why we have the Milwaukee Brewers, the Wisconsin Badgers, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Green Bay Packers and the Monroe Cheesemakers.
