A rare January Walk
I took advantage of the gorgeous 30 degree weather to walk #teamslap to school for only the second time in '15. It felt great!
A Bandwagon Fan Base
Not *strictly* true. My loyalty to Holmgren led me to casually follow them during his era. And the Dad from "Frazier" claimed to be a fan. So that's three people . . .

Manners Maeketh Man
From what I heard on the radio, the $1.5 billion Powerball winner is a multi-millionaire who spent $30,000 on tickets. IMO, if your bank account has seven figures, playing the lottery is just poor manners.
Discuss
Would this hypothetical ticket (Nixon/Rockefeller) have gotten the job done for the GOP in '60? Feel free to discuss.
Btw, what a great button! I wish I owned it.
It Ain't All Roses
It's been a rough evening for #teamslap. A fit by Junie because she didn't like dinner. A fit by YaYa because we wouldn't take her to Ulta Cosmetics. A fit by Lulu because she misplaced her dance shoes and blamed us. Only Smiley was cool. Calm now - cuz the kids are all at activities.lol
Twas Fate
It's as if the Goodwill gods demanded we buy it (we didn't tho - someone had already claimed it)

School Resumes
The spring semester starts today. At this point I'm officially a quarter of of the way through law school.

A Matter of Justice by David A. Nichols
Book #1 of 2015. It was informative and well written, but I do feel that at times Nichols struggled to rationalize *some* of Ike's caution. But kudos to him for highlighting the role Eisenhower played overall in the Civil Rights movement - sending federal troops into a Southern State to enforce school integration? It's almost impossible, in the here and now, to realize how shocking and bold that choice was for the 1950's.
Recommended.
Ugh
Yeahhhh, so this just happened.
Kudos to Socialist and JJ, both of whom were willing to help us out with rides this morning. The tire is now replaced. The rim was also damaged and cracked from the flat, but Ray Tann Tires patched it. They won't guarantee it'll hold. But since the alternative is a new wheel, I'm happy. Ish.

Victory baby!
Was out at the grocery store with Lisa's step-mom when a stock boy broke the news of the Packers' win against the Cowboys. (It wasn't a catch Dez!!)
I take full credit, as today I wore a Packers shirt for the first time in my adult life.
You're welcome Wisconsin.
My mother-in-law paid Junie a buck to be quiet during the Packer game. "It was very hard, but I did it!" Junie proudly told me. LOL Classic!
LOL, she was so very good this weekend, but it was a Packer game...
