Sad news, my friends. In case you hadn’t heard, Nate Dogg died yesterday. ::tear:: Let us pause to pour a little out from our 40s in his memory…
No more will we get to hear those silky smooth vocals on such lyrics as “ooo I like your size.” Ah, that clear black night and clear white moon will always hold a spot in my hip-hop heart.
Regulators!! Mount up!
A box of Thin Mints just landed on my desk. And I’m hungry…
+ Growling stomach = 
I’ve been waiting for the day I could finally post this entry, and that day has arrived…. The roof at Miller Park is open!!
I have kept an eye on it for a couple weeks now, as I can see the ballpark from one of the bridges I take to work each morning. I think because this winter has been so awful and I’m desperate for nicer weather to arrive, I’ve been awaiting that open roof as yet another sign that Spring is officially on the way. Each morning I’d glance over and see the snow-covered roof still firmly closed, but this morning the great park was wide open with the lights blazing inside. Hooray!!!
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, Miller Park is where the Milwaukee Brewers play baseball, and the stadium is right in the city. We have spent countless spring and summer hours there, and a couple exciting fall ones too, rooting on the Brew Crew. It’s a great place to gather with friends, take your family, or just hang out on a warm Sunday afternoon when you have nothing better to do. Granted it’s not as great as it was a few years ago since they keep jacking up the parking fee and ticket price, but still.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to opening day this year, so I’ll have to follow along with the play-by-play on the radio. But just hearing Ueck calling the game with the excitement of the crowd roaring in the background will make it seem like I’m there too. I can smell the brats grilling and feel the electricity of that first home game of the season now.
Play ball!
Ahh… doesn’t that picture just scream summer? I can’t wait!
Check out these videos from the tsunami last week. Talk about an incredible, yet horribly destructive, force of nature. The first one is a first-person view of the tsunami as it hit Japan, and the second one shows what it looked like by the time it reached San Francisco Bay.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in Japan and around the world who have been affected. Nature certainly is amazing and never fails to remind us who really rules this planet.
I have previously expressed my dislike for our state’s current governor, but this story from Michigan makes Walker look like a pansy:

Can you believe that?? How can that even be legal? “Emergency financial managers” my ass – more like Rick Snyder, tyrant ruler. My word.
Anyone live in Michigan who cares to comment? If you’d like to seek refuge in our great state, come on across the lake; the ferry runs a couple times a day. And hopefully our governor won’t be taking notes from yours.
But if he does, Canada is lovely…. 😉
Admit it, we all have them. Some aren’t so little, and some are dirtier than others. But I’m pretty sure each of us has at least one or two rattling around in our closet somewhere.
I’ll let you in on one of mine… I wax my upper lip. Egad! Now I’m nowhere close to rockin’ one of these, mind you:
But each time I go in to have another gurly area waxed I have her rip off the little fuzz that lives up there too. Why not? It takes approximately 7 seconds and leaves my face smooth and squeaky clean.
Got any you’d like to share? Come on, you know you want to… 🙂
p.s. I also get an occasional whisker or two. Zoinks!!
I’m still pretty new to this whole blogging world, so I’m doing a little tweaking of my site. The address is a tad different, my sidebar contents have a few different names, but hopefully you were still able to find me ok. And for those of you who had already subscribed to my blog, a huge THANK YOU!! Please make sure you sign up again through this page because my old feeds will be disabled shortly. Just click on one of the icons under “Follow Me” over there on the right and enter your info to keep receiving my updates. Please let me know if you are having any trouble subscribing, because I set those icons and their respective links up myself with no help from R, our resident computer expert. And by expert, I mean mega uber guru. This guy was tooling around on the interwebs and the Googles long before they existed in any form that we know today. If there was a classification higher than mega uber guru, that would be him.
Thanks for bearing with me through these little changes! As always, feel free to offer any suggestions for page design and content or post topics. And if you have or know someone who has a link that would like to be added to my blogroll over there, shoot that to me as well.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming…
