Weekend Update

This just in... the Packers still stink. Nice play Brett, um, we're wearing white and gold... were those tigers too hard to see? And the run past the line and throw it underhanded play is sooo last year. Someone please explain why I continue to watch? Is it because my alternative is Nascar?

So, Saturday was beautiful, went golfing at Hawk's Landing. Hit my 2nd shot into the trees and it was all downhill from there. Worst round in 10 years, at least. I didn't really care though. It was almost November, a gorgeous day and out golfing with my friends.

Had our 2nd hockey game of the season last night. We were a little short handed. I played defense the first and third periods and wing the 2nd period. I was definitely better than last week and managed a +3 and scored a goal. I was trailing a play when our center circled in the corner. I saw an opening and went for it and he put the puck on the tape and I someone managed to hit the far post and bank it in. Pretty lucky. I only made one big mistake on D, got caught watching the play and didn't pick up my man on the back door and he scored an easy goal. Oh well, I'm still learning. It sure is less strenuous back on the blueline than playing up front and this old body is liking that part.

Tried out a new restaurant Saturday night. It's called Johnny's Italian Steakhouse. It is over in the Greenway Crossing area in Middleton. It kind of wants to be a place where the rat pack would hang out. It wasn't bad, I had filet mignon and it was pretty decent. Cdubya's steak, however, was burnt to a crisp and tasted like shoe leather. I guess she'll learn not to ask for a sirloin medium well. They were nice and took it back and gave her a filet instead, only it was more like medium rare, a little too red for her tastes, but I gotta give it to her, she didn't complain about it. She thanked them and ate it anyway. I'll probably give it another try. They have a pretty decent sized menu and there were a few other things that looked appealing. It was about what you'd expect to pay for a decent steakhouse in Madison, $18 to $22 for the most part. Not sure how our bill came to $135... oh, we had tiramisu for desert! Yummy...
