Capital Ideas


MY  GUYS GO BIRDING.


In Wisconsin's Capital,... 'My Man' is meeting with a few of Wisconsin's fellow colleagues.  Room service breakfast got a sausage for Yo-Yo who is NOW snoring under the covers. Capital Idea!

Dinner, upon arrival; found us looking at the capital dome while drinking at a downtown eatery called "Ocean Grill."   Mother Mary was my inspiration.  She loved her 'three martini lunches' at Duluth's PickWick....Well I know I am 'cut from the same cloth'!  Ron was driving so he passed me most of his third Grey Goose!  Capital Idea!

We started with hard cheeses which are always a compliment to vodka, added a dozen raw oysters; 6 from the east coast and six from the west; sampled a caesar with anchovies (which one of us cannot have anymore), then (spotted cow) beer cheese soup...wait it continues.... large lump meat crab cake, we added seared scallops & very lightly crisp-coated calamari.  Total bill $120.00.   Capital Idea!

Had to get out of "Into the Woods."  My 'Irish twin' sister recently saw Ma Ma Mia. I admit I am jealous. I have seen this show six times.  I admit am a bit of a 'groupie" when it comes to ABBA.  We are headed to Greg and Annelise's Chicago.  Capital Idea!

Got all the repairs done after the lightning strike took out the furnace, alarm system and dog fence at Bear Island.  As the December skies will soon turn to snow this couldn't happen soon enough.  I am super relieved to again be able to make a phone call and regulate the temperature. Capital Idea! 

Gregory has been happily working now for three weeks, Michael for six weeks, Gretchen actually wrote  a truancy incident report last week and it wasn't about her sister.  Meg starts her university teaching this week. (Kirschling kids remain so funny.)  Meg jokes she is now a single provider;  two income family!  Capital Idea!
