Looking forward to their show, and that for once we don’t have to go to Milwaukee to see them.

As a Brewers fan who was there, can confirm.

An external view of The Mariner’s Inn supper club. There is a mock lighthouse at right center with the main entrance portico and it’s peaked roof on the left. The picture is backlit by the sun, shining brightly at upper right.

On Saturday, August 30 the Mariner’s Inn ends a 59 year run as one of Madison’s most beloved supper clubs. My parents had a tradition of taking us there once or twice a year, and except for Covid, I’ve kept that tradition going. Tonight we went there one last time. I will miss it very much.

They shouldn’t have closed the roof.

Congratulations!

I just bought the Old Man’s War series based on a promise to bake me brownies (and give me the coveted corner edge piece) if we ever meet, so I’ve got some reading to do.

That’s awesome! 🙂

It’s universal! 🙂

A light gray miniature schnauzer named Calvin with cropped ears is looking slightly above the camera. On the floor behind him is a large selection of toys.

In 1998 I fractured my skull and for five days in the neuro ICU, all they gave me was coffee and jello. I was just aware enough to tell when they’d gone through the available flavors and started over. Ever since then, to this day I can’t eat jello.

The Infinity Room is cool though.

WHA in Madison, which introduced me to the Fourth Doctor in the 1980s.

Can confirm.

Party lines in northern Wisconsin. “If it rings twice, pick it up. Any other number of rings ignore it. And if you pick up the phone to make a call and hear someone talking, hang up and try later.”

Calvin has had them twice in just over a year. The second time instead of traditional surgery we had an expensive laser treatment and he was feeling much better the same day. Fortunately he likes his special diet. Paws crossed for Geezer.

A picture of two Lego stormtroopers. One is holding a rocket that is labeled “red glare” while the other holds an actual lit match. Also in the picture is a Lego “tube guy” painted as a U.S. flag with the letters U S A. The stormtrooper with the lit match is wearing American flag pants.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel.

Photograph of a bright yellow daylily bloom. A yet to open but yellow bud is to its right. The background is a thick field of green daylily leaves with a few flower buds visible.

Everything is terrible but I am pleased to provide a timeline cleanse - our Stella D’Oro daylilies are finally starting to bloom.

Yes, thankfully they gave up after that.

Major League.

Two stormtroopers from the 501st Legion walk onto the convention floor at Brickworld Chicago.

Yes they were!

I earned a Cub Scout Webelos badge navigating a family spring trip to Florida from Wisconsin using a printed AAA TripTik.

That’s really my only issue with the current production - we wait a year between series and then only get eight episodes. I’m not worried so much about Disney+. If the BBC isn’t really standing behind the show it won’t matter much who has U.S. rights.
