The new Blacklist and the premiere of Shades of Blue were on television tonight. Blacklist has been my favorite show for a while as James Spader is just spectacular. Another of my favorites is the star of Shades of Blue. Ray Liotta is vastly underrated and the premiere was solid so I'll keep watching.
Luke Bryant has been announced as a headliner at Summerfest once again. He has a huge country following.
Yahoo announced they are laying off 10% of their workforce. The CEO will keep her salary intact though and I'm sure she will be running for President someday soon with all the answers just like Carly.
Nobody won Powerball last night. I might have to play Saturday as its approaching 700 million bucks!
Twenty thousand people showed up for a Donald Trump event in Vermont. The place only holds 1400 people so police were turning them away. I'm not sold that Trump is getting that much support. Everybody loves watching a train wreck. Charlie Sheen was packing them in just like this a couple years ago to!

HOF Day
Mike Piazza and Ken Griffey Jr. were elected into baseball's Hall of Fame today. Both were excellent players and deserving of the award.
The thin ice on the river is no more. Usually at this time of year it's rock solid and we place bets onto when it will totally melt which is usually sometime in March. Leave it to the weather to upset are gambling traditions in the Midwest.
No word from Coco on his cruise. He's somewhere warm is all I know!
A slow day but planning a schedule for my first two months of the year in my bid to be more organized. So far it's going pretty good.
Stay safe.

Indian Burial Mounds
Another above normal day temperature wise in Milwaukee and it's going to be near 40 degrees tomorrow and the rest of the week. Hopefully some of this ice will melt.
I was watching Donald Trump's campaign manager on CNN. If Trump was really serious at the start about being President he would have hired some better front people. Every spokesperson that appears on his behalf is like a rabid dog. It's okay to be calm and likeable instead of an angry white person for crying out loud.
A Key West man was riding his motorcycle at 1:30am on a runway at the Key West International Airport and ran into a parked plane. He was only cited for careless driving. How come I get nearly strip searched but this clown can ride a motorcycle on a runway???
I almost feel sorry for the Ho Chunk Nation. Almost I say. The Wisconsin legislature headed by two Republicans are trying to make it legal to build on the numerous ancient burial mounds which 90 percent still have human remains. Apparently nothing is sacred to this disgusting legislature. The Governor will certainly sign it as he always sells out to the highest bidder and in this case it's many building and commerce associations.
The Ho Chunk Nation has donated millions of dollars to the Governor to keep competition away from their casino business and it has worked brilliantly. The Seminole's offered to build a new Bucks Stadium in conjunction with the Hard Rock for a new casino but were turned down. Now, the taxpayers are footing about 400 million because we just love corporate welfare in Wisconsin.
The Ho Chunk Nation made their bed and were just outbid this time by a deeper pocket white man. Don't worry though. You will still be able to visit your ancestors. You'll just have to shop at a strip mall to do it sadly.

Beth What Can I Do
Yep, it's back to an ordinary daily and weekly grind for most people. The weather stays above normal temps and the ice buildup is still a mess in Milwaukee. Heckuva job there Brownie!
NFL football playoffs this week and every game looks like it will be close as they march towards the Super Bowl.
Coco called me today from his cruise ship. He had a stomach virus that passed and wanted to see if we were ill which we were not. Sounds like he picked up some 24 hour bug.
The stock market dropped quite a bit today on China concerns. I'm always a bit leery of the market when it struggles coming out of the gate. I still have to review last years predictions when I get a bit more time.
No plans yet for this weekend. Probably laying low until we head off for Arizona and L.A later this month. Somehow we have tickets for the taping of the Mike and Molly finale with John and Angela.
VW has been having it's problems lately but they had a great commercial today featuring the song Beth from Kiss. I'm surprised they didn't save ti for the Super Bowl but maybe they needed a punch in the arm real fast.

Regular NFL Season Finale
The Bears lost their finale but at least it was an entertaining game and once again hope is alive for next season. It looks like this coaching staff at least has a clue.
Coco is on his Disney cruise and boarded the ship already. He's basking in the warm sunshine and Krissy and I plundered out in the 27 degree weather to go grocery shopping. Something seems wrong there.
It appears that Christopher Waltz who starred as Blofeld in Spectre the latest James Bond movie will appear in two more of the films. He is a two time Oscar winner. The only caveat is that Daniel Craig must return which I've said from the beginning of the rumors is that he would return for at least one more. Filming a Bond movie is no easy task especially when he does many of the stunts himself. He was a little edgy after his 4th movie but I'm convinced he will come back for at least one more to be the best Bond of all time!
Tomorrow is Black Monday. Probably around 7 NFL coaches will be fired as the playoff teams make their quest for the Super Bowl!

The First Saturday
It's been a fairly quiet first Saturday of the New Year. I spent most of the day playing games with Coco and he just departed for Chicago and then onwards to his Disney cruise tomorrow. I won't see him again until the 13th sadly.
Krissy went out with friends today at the West Allis bars of which there is no shortage. There really is a bar on almost every single corner of that town.
I went and picked her up and stayed for a couple. It looks like they've been cleaned up a bit at least. I'm sure they'll be good for another 50 years now!
The Bears finale is tomorrow. Even though they have no chance of a playoff berth I'll still watch. I'm a lifelong fan and it's what we do!

Polar Bear Plunge Day
Congrats to the hundreds of participants at Bradford Beach this morning to do the annual Polar Bear Plunge. No ice on Lake Michigan at this time of the year is certainly unusual!
Legendary singer Natalie Cole passed away today. She is the daughter of Nat King Cole and my son is actually named after him.
A very Happy Birthday to Ashley today. We all went to Maggiano's Little Italy to celebrate today. The chicken piccata is always great!
People still out and about at the bars all day today. Some of them never made it home from NYE celebrations. The Milwaukee bars don't close on NYE and most stay open all night long and stay open all morning!
