A new year is here, which means traditional and semi-traditional food, college bowl games, and the NFL playoffs around the corner. Of course this year it means another semester coming up soon, and more reading and lectures on the way. It was a good weekend for football, the Badgers upset Auburn in Barry Alvarez’s last game as head coach, pretty much dominating on all sides of the ball, with Calhoun rushing for 212 and Williams receiving and rushing for another 200 plus. Even Stocco put up 300 yds passing, something that Wisconsin quarterbacks aren’t known for doing. Then the previous day, the Pats made it back to the playoffs with a loss to Miami, arguably to get a better seed on their road to the superbowl, and to let Flutie drop kick an extra point.
And of course it means more adventures with the mice. Rang in the new year with two more little guys, one on a sticky trap behind the couch, and another in a snap-trap. The good news is that they seem to be getting smaller, and more desparate, without any packaged food within climbing reach, they’ve been falling for the traps. At this rate I’ll have to make a tally board or something in honor of the late great Patches the cat, who might be proud of my kills so far.
make that another caught in the snap-trap, I just heard one go off, and I’ll probably have to go and clean it up pretty soon. I hope this one isn’t as bloody as the other one, it might as well be a crime scene or something. I have to say that this is getting old.
