Gas Pains
Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.
Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.
There is Your Dagger!
The first dagger was B.J. Raji's interception for a fourth quarter touchdown.
Then the Bears' Lance Briggs intercepts a ball that ricochets off of the foot of Donald Driver. The Bears have the momentum with minutes left to play.
I'm thinking - This is the way it's going to turn out. The dang Bears are going to tie the game and the Pack will lose in overtime. The Bears lead a charmed life and we'll never hear the end of it.
Anybody else as nervous as we were? Come on - admit it.
Then Sam Shields intercepts the Bears and it's all over. The double dagger!
And not a moment too soon.
The sixth-seeded Packers are going to the Super Bowl. Road warriors.
All the stops were pulled-out in last week in an effort to keep the good Ju Ju flowing. Talismans were unpacked. Packer Mardi Gras beads were hung from the Packer Tree. I wore my Packer jacket all week long to the day job. My 1995 Packer shirt was brought out of retirement and worn today. Jill donned her LeRoy Butler jersey. Brother-In-Law had left the hats and ball in the same place following last week's victory
Even Saint Vince was gazing-upon us with approval,
And Sister-In-Law's G-Force apple-cranberry victory pie was enjoyed by all.
