Saturday Travalon and I went to the Badger game; it was a
gorgeous day to be outside watching a game, but the outcome was sort of sad for
us Badger fans. At least it was close, and we lost in overtime. It could have
been so much worse. We were sitting in the end zone so we could really see all
the overtime action. Lots of Ohio State fans were sitting near us, doing some cheer: “Oh-hi!” “Oh!!” They had gestures that went with it and
everything. The ones lower down would do the first half of the chant, and the
ones higher up would finish it. Of course the student sections had their usual chant
going back and forth, which I won’t repeat on a family blog.
Sunday Travalon and I went to a bar from the book that was
outside of Reedsburg and seriously in the middle of nowhere. Lots of hunters in
bright orange were watching the Packer game, which had a much happier outcome
than the Badger one. They didn’t have much selection out there, so I ordered a
Miller High Life, since the free sample of it they give you at the end of the
Miller brewery tour is so tasty. Of course High Life in a bottle wasn’t tasty
at all, especially after all the microbrews we’ve been sampling. It was weak
and watery, and I’m not sure why people drink it when there are such good beers
in the world. Then Travalon and I saw my office mate Light Bright perform in a
tribute show with her band to raise money for the Baraboo Zoo. They did tributes
to Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Johnny Cash, and they were
really good. It was at the Al Ringling Theater, which is beautiful and was
decorated for Christmas, somewhat early in my opinion, but it was lovely to
see. Afterwards Light Bright was surrounded by people who wanted her autograph,
but that didn’t give her such a big head because she showed up for work today
anyway.
