First of all there was the Badger game Sunday morning. For all that missed it I believe this was the worst reffing I have ever seen - way worse then the Fail Mary last year in the Packer game which was a call open to interpretation of the rules. But the Badger game was just down right incompetence. This comes from SBNation Setup: Stave completes a 6-yard out to Abbrederis to the ASU 13 yard line. Abby steps out of bounds...

I was going to post this yesterday but I got too busy.Here is the rainfall graph. Columbus received .0.66 inches of rain the other day while Madison had 0.26 More rain on teh way Sunday - guess I'll have to get the lawn mower out again. OK - this will label me as a bad person but I actually LOL'd maybe it's just the way it was worded? I feel bad for laughing. A jihadi rapper from Alabama who had a $5 million bounty...

WOW - Saturday was the last art fair of the year and yesterday was my first day after fair season. I felt rather lost. All of a sudden I had no stress of getting things ready for a new fair. It was odd.I made some pretty major changes this year going BIGGER and it seems to have worked. I made less sales but bigger sales. I also know I need bigger shows so I'm seriously looking into Art Fair on the Square (or off). Of course I have to be juried in but from reviews the $500+ price tag seems worth it. Lake Mills...

I was at the City Council meeting last Tuesday and was voted into the CDA (Community Development Authority). Basically the city planners. The vote was 4-1 in favorRead my City Council blog here. Here is the link to the council - the vote is at about the 5:00 minute mark. Four all in favors and one slightly too loud NOT IN FAVOR!! That is fine. I think he votes against ALL of the Mayors appointments.My view and...

really? I had not blogged for a week? Sort of busy I guess. Everybody always thinks I sit around eating Bon Bons all day. No no, pretty active actually.I had the New Glarus Art Fair Sunday which was . . . OK. I did my usual but the crowd was perhaps half what it was last year which sort of hurt. I've found that I have an average $$ per person attending so the larger fairs I have done GREAT and the smaller ones...

I'm always a little surprised when I get an email from what I believe is a stranger from a far off land and then I find out they grew up in Columbus and read my blog.Then I find out that this is his place over that dudes shoulder. I think they could use a tree. Yea - John Heidke lives in Paradise Valley and that is John Mayer (and friend). His grandparents owned Heidke's Sweet Shop and the Columbia Inn now the Capri. ...

Unless you are living in a cave you have seen scenes of planes dropping red stuff onto fires out west. OH, that is flame retardant everyone says. But WHAT is it!Well - mostly water - nothing SUPER special. Water is a fire retardant right? It's also 10% fertilizer (ammonia phosphate and sulfate ions) and the red is iron oxide for color.And here I thought it was just some major cool chemicals or something. Water puts out fire, the...

Got some portraits to take care of this morning in Madison so cant spend a lot of time.Came in 2nd in the Amber contest - I expected to not win since my Amber was unique with a cinnamon flavor from what I believe was the Crystal hops which is viewed as the most pungent of the new triploid Hallertau family of hops. I like it but . . .it's an Amber zzzzzzzzzz-----------------------------------Finally watched the 2 hour premier of season...

More on these two later! And no Caleb is not sleeping. Actually I interrupted their score keeping. Sorry guys. Went to the Brewer game last night with Mike, The Postman-2 and Elwood. We had those free BP tickets so our seats were not the best. Except for the fact we could not see center or right field they were GREAT!! Actually they were the worst seats I have ever had a Miller Park. So after Elwood and I when...

Is there a "Talk Like You're Tweeting Day" yet? If there isn't I think we need to create one. #ridiculous This would mean that since the average word is 5.1 characters and you can use 144 characters in a tweet including spaces each comment can be only about 22 words. #nothingelsetosay-------------- SO - tonight I'm going to the Brewer game #losers with The Postman-2, Mike and Elwood. Should be fun. My last game was...

Yikes - no sleep for me this weekend.I've been freakishly busy this morning with some very high strung publishers from the east coast! More on that later (below). Saturday I had the Agora Art Fair in Fitchburg which as many people were saying - Is as good as Art Fair on the Square, but without the hassle. Yea - the tents go over the horizon! And the quality of the art is outstanding! Personally I had my best show to...

I was on Channel 3 yesterday - 5 seconds!After my doctor visit I decided to take a run out to the Pope Farm Conservancy to take a look at the sunflower field and while I was there Channel 3 show up and low and behold, they filmed me taking the below photo. So in the last 5 days my cat has been on Channel 3 AND me! I've been working on my new website and one of the features will be the ability to do this! In fact I can have people...
