Blizzard of the Decade

The weathermen/people said that this was the biggest snowstorm in 10 years... I'm not sure I believed them and even though everyone canceled school the day before I wasn't sure we were going to get enough to justify a day off.  Normally, the weather people overestimate greatly the amount of snow.  That is nice, though, as it usually leads to a day or two off of school every year.  Even when I got up this morning it was done snowing and I wondered if that was a right call.  Well, there was a LOT of snow.  Even with a snow blower it took me 3 hours!  here are a couple pics from the day.

PS - I want to live where it's warm.

New Year's Eve

I rarely post pictures of myself for obvious reasons... like I'm usually taking the picture, etc...  Here is a nice one, though, from New Year's Eve at Wuf's house.

SUPER BOWL!!!!

So I'm sure my faithful fans are wondering what the world's most faithful Packer fan is thinking right now. I turned my phone off during the game to ignore all of my Detroit Lion fan friends texts... but it was a great to turn my phone on to the barrage of "We're going to the Super Bowl" texts.


I'll get to the game in a minute but these two weeks of hype in Milwaukee are wonderful.  The radio has been littered with talk of the 12 (soon to be 13) time World Champions.  This morning on the radio they were talking about whether or not you would take Aaron Rodgers or Big Ben if you had to start a new franchise.  Foolish commentators saying they would take Rothleisberger over Rodgers... morons.  On the way home tonight the host was asking whether or not the Packers made the right decision three years ago freezing Favre out in favor of Rodgers.  OF COURSE IT WAS.  Favre would have thrown 7 interceptions in the playoffs and we definitely would have lost.  I admit, I was wrong.  It has turned out to the be the right decision.  As one host says, the time to cut someone loose is often before we think.  My bad.


As for the game.  I think this hinges on two things.  Can Rodgers not turn the ball over or get killed by Polumalu and whether or not we can get some pressure on Big Ben and not allow him to shake 5 tackles and make a big play.  We can't get pressure and then let him loose, then we're in some big trouble.  I am 2 for 2 in predicting the Packers Super Bowl games in my lifetime.  I absolutely KNEW we would win Super Bowl 31 and I was nervous from the get go to play Denver in Super Bowl 32 and was right.  


Rob's Prediction: Packers 45 - Steelers 27.  Blow OUUUUTTTT!

Christmas

Here are a couple of pictures of our Christmas break.  I am committed to more blogging this year!  We will see.

Future job?  May be he can get me into major sporting events then.

2010 Year in Review

I know I haven't been the best blogger this year.  I could probably blame it on a lot of things like we were living in a rental house, we moved, work was busy, I am going to graduate school, etc... but none of them would be good ones.  I just didn't cut it this year I'm afraid.  One of the nice things about Christmas break is that I get to do some little housekeeping jobs on my computer.  I hadn't been good, either, at keeping this year's pictures nicely filed away so I had to spend some time today doing that.  In doing that I also created a nice little year end video versus the traditional (ok, 2 years worth) slide show I normally post - so here goes.  So much has happened this past year that it is easy to forget how blessed we are.  Here's to a better blogging 2011!

The Frozen Tundra

No, I'm not talking about the general state of Wisconsin weather, but recently I've had a chance to go to two Packer games since the beginning of November.  Cathy and I went to the Dallas v. Green Bay Sunday night game early in December with her dad and sister.  It was her first Packer game and a nice night for it, not really too cold.  The Packers won pretty easily.  This past Sunday I went to the Green Bay v. San Francisco game.  The throwback jerseys were an interesting touch, I'm not sure if I liked them or not.  This game was a bit colder, but still not as some I've been to.

Fall Fun

Here are a couple of fall fun pictures.  Grandma and Grandpa took Liam and Owen to the pumpkin farm.  This seems to be an annual trip for them.  I have the obligitory halloween pictures also.  Liam was a clone trooper after a failed dracula attempt.  He just couldn't get his collar right so he scrapped that idea.  Owen has been wanting to be Batman for months... I even got him to say in the whispered tone, "I'm Batman..."
