State of the Union

Lots of comments about last night's State of the Union message from President Bush. One of many questions I have is whether diplomacy can work with the radical people we are dealing with? Can we change their life-long objective that has existed long before 9/11? I just don't know. I am one who likes to list pros and cons to any decision; they base my decision from that. Don't know which side of the t-account would have the most entries.

How About Those Badgers?

If you weren't at the Kohl Center last night for the UW/Ohio State men's basketball game, you missed something special. Despite not getting the respect we deserve from the media, we are a very good basketball team. But Ohio State is going to be real special come NCAA tourney time.

Back from Orlando

Our trip with the UW Alumni Assoc to Orlando for the Capital One Bowl was great. We saw the Badgers beat Georgia in men's basketball on Sunday, 12/31 and watched the Pack take care of da Bears at Sea World on New Year's Eve. The Bowl game was a real defensive battle. But the best team won!

Happy New Year!
