Remember when I was talking about the Sun Prairie Art Fair and this old guy who seemed to love my work said he was tired of all the "color"?
He emailed me yesterday and attached a few of his paintings. Too bad he does not have any talent!

I'm going to have an art fair in my back yard. Actually I need to set up my canopy and hang my stuff and take REAL GOOD photos for next years jury photos. The Springfield Old Capitol Art Fair has their jury process starting October 1st so I gotta get'r done.

Packers - One of the themes in the sports talk shows this week was overreaction. How people were overreacting to last weeks games. Oddly the Packers and the Bears were never really brought up. We all knew that the Packer defense sucks and the Bears offense was really going to be hard to beat this year.
Yea - the Bears crushed Indianapolis, it was all the Bears. Not the fact that Indy was 2-14 last year and starting a rookie QB.
Yea - the Packers looked horrible and had no offense last week and their defense sucked. Not the fact that the 49ers were 14-4 and one play away from the Super Bowl last year.
Yea - last week McCarthy was a bad coach, what a moron taking a huge gamble and calling a long pass play on 3rd and 1, what was he thinking, idiot. This week, WOW - McCarthy is brilliant with big brass balls calling a fake field goal knowing that all Crabtree has to do is run 27 yards for a touchdown or turn the ball over - BRILLIANT! Last week, "we" hit that big pass play and Coach is brilliant. This wee Crabtree runs for 25 yards and gets tackled, Coach is a moron.

The floor is finally installed and looks great. We went through Home Expressions who had a guy named Dan on loan Oelke. He did an awesome job and was more of a craftsmen then an installer. Much better then the original floor in the kitchen and dining room. We did not notice the difference until this guy put this floor in. The match 99% perfectly. 2.5 inch Red Oak.
First thing I had to do was hook up the TV and get a couch in the room for the Packer game last night. No, we're not becoming minimalist. We're going to get a throw rug tonight and slowly get back to normal.

What a day WHAT A DAY!!
I was at work Tuesday and needed a little something something for flavor and figured maybe skim chocolate milk or something. So I went downstairs to the row of vending machines (they closed the cafeteria . . .one too many deaths I figured) and . . no milk. So I was about to give up and saw . . . NUTTY BARS!!
These little devils get me every time with only 310 calories and 18g of fat, HOWEVER, I now see that Nutty Bars have very little sodium and I am warned "Nutty Bars are very low in sodium and should not be relied upon for daily sodium intake."
hmmmmm - I will have to find another candy bar for my daily sodium intake.
So I put my money in the machine, you know, the kind where the candy bar behind the one you want pushes the good one off the cliff?
Candy bars live a very violent life.
WELL, the bar behind starts to push but the TAKE 5 next to him starts to go first. WE HAVE A JUMPER!!!! WE HAVE A JUMPER!!!! NOOOOOOO Don't jump, that will screw everything up. But at the last second TAKE 5 get's cold feet and Nutty Bar get's an extra push . . .BUT WAIT . . . .NUTTY goes head first and is now horizontal and stuck between glass and the pusher. DAMN IT!
TAKE 5 see's this and it's all he can take and he jumps off the cliff TAKING NUTTY WITH HIM - OH THE HUMANITY!
BUT WAIT - The pusher Nutty behind my Nutty has seen this and it's all he can take and HE JUMPS TOO!!! It's like candy bar lemmings.
Meanwhile I'm just standing there, my heart is pulsing and I'm getting all excited. I look around nervously hoping no one is watching (State employees can be like sharks in a frenzy). My hands twitch as I kneel onto the floor (why do they make these machines so low) and reach into the void groping for my now three morsels of delight and praying nothing grabs my hand. I grip all three bars and like a squirrel, scamper upstairs with my precious.
I ate my original Nutty and quickly had a stomach ache and felt yucky. The others have been stashed in an unknown location. Waiting waiting.

Have a weekend!
