So long Al Harris

Looks like the Packers will cut Al Harris - here is the thing - his knee was OK but there are other options and they can save $2 million!.

Remember - good teams cut aging veterans a year early while bad teams keep then a year too long. Packers are a good team and it is a business remember!

Contrats to Columbus - 65% voter turnout!! WOW - excellent job. I'm also proud to know that Columbus is a progressive town as Barrett beat out Mr. Shifty Pants and Feingold BLASTED Mr Milk Toast Johnson, while Tammy Baldwin beat some teenager.

The legislators won, both Republicans so it seems that while Columbus bends left it's more of the clear thinking people voting. Not just voting one way out of habit.

One one other note - why can't we have write in referendums!

For the straight party voters it was basically 50/50, And it was about 50% of the voters were . . . . straight!

I'm personally disappointed in Fall River as they seem to like Mr. Shifty Pants AND Mr. Milk Toast.

Saturday night Josh, Jenny and Caydence (and Sydney) were over and we wanted pizza. They had never had Nepoli's pizza so we ordered a TWENTY-TWO INCH Pizza.

Well - we went to get it and - OH MY!!! The box barely fit through the door and it was a problem getting it into the car! I had to shift into drive before Josh could get into the front seat.

Since when does the Columbus Journal run an entire page of SPAM on page two!! The kind that LOOKS like it 's a real news article. So much for news! Very sad!

I worked my first hours at Cannery Wine and Spirits in Sun Prairie. Cash registers are way different then 25 years ago when I worked in my last liqueur store.

I really enjoyed it actually. I like being around and talking to people, especially about BEER and WINE. I did learn that Stone Brewery (they make Arrogant Bastard) will be discontinuing selling their beer to Wisconsin, too much competition.

I'm a little short as a lot of writing is going into my other blog - Grinders Warehouse. My NBA system is clicking along and gamblers want to know the picks so . . . .

Plus what is all this WORK I have to do! ridicules!

Have a quick day!

  1. The Wood Fairy and the Woodwidow are kind of food snobs, so we weren't sure what type of evening we would end up with when we took a chance on Napoli Friday night.

    Wow! Even with your raves, we weren't expecting that!

    Although it was past 7pm, the waiting area (bar) was jam-packed. We did find a place to sit, and had a chance to admire the refurbishing. Really nice, elegant taste in colors and furnishings and whatnot. The WF figured he'd have to keep pressing through the crowd to get to the bar to renew our drinks (beer and wine)... but surprisingly, one of the bartenders kept coming to the back corner herself to make sure everyone was taken care of regularly.

    Our indicated wait of 30 min. ended up being only 20 min., and we were whisked to a fabulous table by the window. Throughout our meal, all the tables remained filled. Good for them!!

    And our meal? Wood Fairy reserves his praise with pizzas, but he loved the one he received. I took a big leap and ordered the salmon, and then cursed my adventurousness-- never expect a decent piece of fish in anything other than a place where you expect a decent piece of fish...

    And so, shock! It was wonderful! Fresh, flaky, delicately flavored, and the topping was just right. Side veggies perfectly done. Just delicious.

    The Wood Fairy is a tiramisu connoisseur, and this one was rave-worthy-- maybe even the best in a long time, if not ever...

    The surprises weren't done yet. Even though we noticed that the prices were low, we still weren't expecting a tally akin to, say, a Laredo's or a burger pub.

    We left very, very happy! I sure hope the place can keep things going just as they are for a long time to come!

    (That pretty much reads like a poorly-disguised owner-planted post one finds on social message boards... but I don't know a soul involved.)

  2. Nice review even though I don't have a clue what tiramisu is.
