Well, I made the drive back. 6 hours of fun. I still find Chicago the last great hurdle in traffic to jump. Why does it always seem to suck? I would think that they could figure it out by now. My apartment is hot, I left the heat valves open when I left. City heat is cheap and works nice, but sometimes it is a bit to much. My landlord got most of my mail, I got a few X-mas cards. It is kind of weird getting them after the holiday. I wonder how long should I hold on to them for? Should I keep them until I get bored of looking at them or until I stop writing phone messages on the backs. People always send me pictures of there kids, this is also something that is funny. I put them on my fridge, but it may make me look like some sort of pervert. If you happen to stop by and see a bunch of kids on my fridge that are not mine, please do not think ill of me. I only do it to remind me that I am a part of peoples lives, and to be more careful. I saw Talladega Nights- The Ballad of Rickey Bobby. It was funny, I laughed alot. I could not go to the dentist for the lady that does the teeth cleaning was not available. Her mother died on New Years. I hope she had a long and fun life, to go out on a holiday must be hard for a family. I get to go camping next weekend with my father and brother, I am stoked. While I was home most of the news was about former president Gerald Ford. He was from Grand Rapids Michigan, they had lots of things on remembering his life. I am going to the Hockey game on Friday, it should be fun. I like hockey, growing up in Detroit with a team to watch. They retired Yzermans jersey the other night. I hope to see some good hockey, even at AHL level. I don't nock AHL, but why does Wisconsin not have a pro team? We have Baseball, Basketball, Football, Why not Hockey? I think we need one. Just something more from WI to pit against IL. I have only had 3 beers this year so far. These all happened after midnight on New Years. I know this will change but it is weird that I can count all of the beers I have had this year so far. Maybe I will keep track for a whole year. That seems like alot of work, so that most likely will not happen.  Keep Smiling Milwaukee.
