Sweet Home Milwaukee

It's always showtime for Lena.




Countdown to wedding bells...




Injured but still tough - our boy Elijah.




FMG and his offspring.



Sunset on the Milwaukee river.


I did a quick stop over in Milwaukee on the way to work meetings in Chicago. Arrived Sunday at about 6PM and was on my way to Chicago Monday at about 6AM. Pretty short stop but plenty of time to enjoy a nice meal with the family.

Anne and my Dad put out a nice spread of antipasto, pasta salad and grilled brats, Italians, dogs and chicken. If there had been Polish and chorizo we could have had the Milwaukee Brewer sausage races right there in the living room of their beautiful new condo on the river. http://www.klements.com/racing_sausages/index2.html


Rachel and Benjie, the soon to be newlyweds were there and looking great. Only a few months until their big event! Rachel, practicing for her soon to be domestic chores, made a very fresh and tasty fruit salad.

Josh, Julia, Elijah and Lena were there too. Elijah was sporting his newly broken wrist that he tried to pass off as the result of a fight with a group of thugs armed with baseball bats but which actually was caused by a spill off his bike. Lena was looking as pretty as ever and I got to see the video of her performance a few months ago with the Energy dance team at half time of a Bucks game. She has some great moves and will probably graduate to the big girl dance team before we know it.

Noah, the college boy, was there too. He was relaxing after a tough Freshman year at Georgetown. He was getting prepared for his summer job as a groundskeeper - practicing his imitation of Willie from the Simpson's. I'm sure the work will be backbreaking and Noah will rise to the occasion and perfect his work ethic. I am a little worried that he has purchased a banjo and is trying to learn to play. He can play the first few lines of the song from Deliverance and is already starting to look like the kid on the porch from the movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Redden


Back to Spore on Friday.
