Yummy! headed down to our local bbq guy. He's been running out of this truck the past few months and is opening a sit down place in a building they just renovated on the same property. All a short 2 block walk from our place. We can smell his smoker from our balcony!!!

Here are a few of the pictures I took on Thursday. I was hoping to get some better ones of Aaron Rodgers but that didn't end up happening. The producers of Best Damn Sports Show Period saw the Packer shirt I was wearing and grabbed me and another Packer fan and pulled us on stage to the stand in the front row of the crowd to be the first people to greet him when he walked in. I got a few seconds

This is the first time I've ever been in the city where the Super Bowl was taking place. I can only assume it will be similar to when the MLB All-Star Game was in Milwaukee, only without that pesky tie.Little storefronts with banners reading "OFFICIAL SUPER BOWL MERCHANDISE" have popped up everywhere, I think retail vacancies in Tampa are down to 0.01% this week.I'll try to bring the camera

These pictures were taken from our balcony this morning... Yes, those are roosters you see and no, we do not live out in the country. Seems some people want to get rid of them but evidently they are part of the fabric of the neighborhood. Thankfully our bedroom is at the back of the condo so we don't hear them cock-a-doodle-doing at 4:30 in the morning!http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/nov/13/

Can't it just be over now??? We all know who we're voting for, we just need to commit it to paper. Everyone is so angry... I've ended all political discourse until the election is over. I'm not going to change your mind and you certainly won't change mine. So why argue over it.

Here are pictures of the condo complex that we are renting a unit in... it's in the Ybor City section of Tampa, not to far from Centro Ybor. Oh yeah, that nice sized balcony will be able to handle my Weber grill *and* my gas grill! And with average high temperatures in the low to mid 70s all winter I plan utilize them fully!

Since Lynn didn't have time to look for an apartment before moving to Tampa, she is living with our backyard buddies, Cindy and Erik. Here's some of the fun they've had since she has been down!Yep, unfortunately, they are Viking fans. WWF style!

i'm at a work conference in Dallas right now... I wish they would have saved the money and not have this creepy art... feels like I'm being watched! The food sucks, but the beer and wine is free - kind of like a wedding that goes for 4 nights.

Made Shrimp and Scallops in Garlic Cream Sauce without the scallops since I didn't know what recipe I was making when I stopped at the store. I highly suggest making some nice rolls or picking up some warm bread to dip in the sauce.Drank this:I know, I know, I only drink red wine though...Off to a good night's sleep shortly.

I spent the better part of three years working in Princeton, NJ... this is the place that made it all worthwhile! BYOB = great wine at a great price. Eating on Nassau Street, and enjoying a cigar after a great meal. And the best Sweet and Spicy Buffalo Calamari I've ever eaten!

Building a deck at our friend's cabin. The deck is almost 2,000 square feet. Those beams are almost 12 feet tall. An accountant, an attorney, and a salesman... no engineers or contractors involved here!

Lower Manhattan from the Hyatt in Jersey CityBrooklyn Bridge, taken from the top of a double decker tour bus.It was NFL Draft day when we were there and the Pack had just happened to draft.World Trade Center. Still chills me and I've seen it from so many angles. This is rather innocous, it seems so much more devastating when seen from above from the nearby Hilton or one of the World Financial

At Mad River, the best Badger Bar in Manhattan! If you need a Spotted Cow while in the City, be sure to check this place out. Best place there to watch a Badger basketball or football game too!

This is our cat, Butters. He's a little fatty and also rather snotty. For some reason he loves to lick the artificial Christmas tree so he's firmly planted underneath it the entire holiday season!
