It’s been a long season for the Milwaukee Brewers and most of you are thrilled the Green Bay Packers played a preseason game last night. I’m a Chicago Bears fan and they also had a preseason game last night.
I am not excited.
It’s not because I live in Packer nation and fear the Green and Gold will go 16 and 0 this season and as a Bears fan on foreign soil I will be ridiculed for the next few months.
It’s simply because this is yet another sign summer is winding down. Yes, it’s been a LONG HOT summer and I know fall in Wisconsin is delightful. However, the start of football even if its just preseason makes me ask a few questions every year.
Did I go swimming enough?
Did I ride my bike enough?
Did I go to the farmer’s market as many times as I wanted to?
Did I picnic enough?
Did I sit with my wife outside and watch the sunset?
Did I wait in line with a bunch of kids for a cool treat from the ice cream truck?
Did I run through at least one person’s sprinkler?
Did I ride in someone’s convertible?
There’s still time, but the sounds of helmets crashing reminds me there’s not as much time as I thought.

The Jack Johnson show last night was terrific. He'd been coming just to hang out with other musicians, maybe do a late night jam with friends in ALO. Very low-pro, as Jack said. That changed when Mumford had their medical emergency...
Still no mag. This is as close as my phone zoom can get. The dancers are sparkly. Bjork has a dress that looks like duct work from a dryer vent. The hat face thing looks like a cross between bubble wrap and pinhead from Hellraiser. Which could all be...
We waited at the main gate for over a half hour. A dozen safety full were poised to open the fences. Three on horseback provided back up. When they opened them up, it was a speed walk at first. Upon seeing that another, distant gate had...
