35 Years Gone

Today is the 35th anniversary of my Big Grandpa's passing, and despite a wickedly frigid day, I stopped by with LuLu to pay my respects. RIP and Love Grandpa.

Gordo burger in bay view is so good I felt like crying as the last bites disappeared. So so good! - Lisa

Today marks a very sad anniversary in the story of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower. One hundred years ago today--on January 2, 1921--the young couple suffered the terrible loss of their first born child, Doud Dwight "Ikky" Eisenhower, who died of scarlet fever at the age of three.

What a Foolish Decision

Milwaukee County Transit is NOT providing free bus rides tonight, apparently to encourage staying at home due to Covid.

Meanwhile, how many drunks will take to the roads because of this?

Wise words for New Year's Eve 2020 too

Hoover was a Good Man

100 years ago today. The $3 million raised that night is equivalent to roughly $40 million in 2020. Click on the photo for the whole story.

Little Sally Walker

So I guess Iggy Azalea released a song called “little sally walker” last year...I was like, hmmm that’s a game we used to play as kids....

Yep, it’s the same song. Lol. 

You guys remember playing this right?

We so damn old our old games are being made into new rap songs. How tf that happen?! - Lisa

WW84

After our traditional Christmas pancake breakfast (this year held at 4pm lol) I kept a long held promise to LuLu and took her to see WW84 on its opening day. It was not awful, but imo its script needed a lot of work. Still, it was fun to venture to a theater for only the second time since Covid, and a joy to accompany Lulu.

Great Job Son!

Yesterday, completely on his own initiative, Smiley prepared a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner of ham, potatoes, stuffing, mac n cheese, roasted mozzarella brussel sprouts, asparagus, biscuits, and two, count 'em, TWO homemade apple pies.

Smiley is fifteen.

At 15 I couldn't boil water.
