Our Poor Packers



Yesterday Travalon picked me up from work, then we went to explore a pond you can see from the Beltline when you are exiting at Whitney Way. It is part of Odana Hills Park and golf course, and while the water is mostly surrounded by tall weeds, there is one spot where you could put in a canoe or kayak. When I asked Travalon how he’d like to get across the pond, he said on an inflatable raft with a beer next to him, but in warmer weather of course. It was getting dark now that we’re back on Standard Time, so we didn’t spend too much time at the park. Then we went to Vintage for dinner. It was a pleasant evening so far, but things were rapidly going to change.

Ugh, that game. It didn’t help that Rodgers got injured early in the game, but the Bears were using their backup quarterback too, so that’s no excuse. I thought our line wasn’t doing its job because Seneca Wallace had no protection. And after a while the defense got so worn out they weren’t putting up much of a fight. How humiliating to get beat at Lambeau like that by our sworn enemies. Going into the game, almost everyone thought the Packers would easily pull it off, but if we can’t handle losing our quarterback for a game, our team doesn’t have a lot of hope. What if he was out for the season? Seriously, I thought the Pack looked so bad, I’m frankly surprised we only lost by a touchdown. You can’t win them all, but that was one we shouldn’t have lost.

Despite the disappointing Packer loss, I still enjoyed the whole evening including watching the game with you. Middleton Sport Bowl is a fun place for it too.

It is, and the walk by the pond was very romantic.
