1. I believe today is "Small Business Saturday".

2. Chelsea with a nifty little goal to tie it up before the half.

3. Today is "cheaptoy is an idiot and drove down by camp Randall on the Wisconsin - Minnesota game day". I probably should have gone yesterday.

   1. Brew shop?

      1. Indeed. Gonna make a dubbel tomorrow. I wanted to make a Bock, but i want able to make room in the fridge by emptying one of the kegs.

         1. mmm, belgians are my favorites.

            1. Was that a request?

               1. Yes, please!

4. R. I. P. Ron Glass, best known as Sgt. Harris on Barney Miller, at age seventy-one.

   1. Also Shepard Book. Sad.

      1. Awww, man...

      2. Who's next, Alan Tudyk?

         1. I think once for him was enough.

         2. Dude, he's a leaf on the wind!

5. Word to the Painter and the Printer. Currently touring the Crocker. Big Claire Falkenstein exhibit, along with a special exhibit of drawings by various European artists and a special exhibit of South American colonial art.

   1. man, you're classin up the joint, doc. How was the beyond sculpture show?

      1. I'm not exactly a sophisticated consumer of art. Some of Falkenstein's stuff was interesting to me, some was...not. We had an hour-long tour with an awesome docent, however, then spent the next two hours exploring various exhibits. Big exhibit of Asian art and ceramics (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Khmer, Burman, Indian, Pakistani,...). That was very cool. They have a pretty big collection of Charles Nahl paintings. Very interesting to listen to the docent talk us through some of those works. Also, this Thomas Hill painting as (apparently) some sort of transitional work into Impressionism.
         

         and Allan Houser's A Show of Force is pretty damn impressive:
         

6. Didn't see a second of it down here in Nola, but I don't want to miss one of the last chances to LOLeidner. I think icebergs have shown more growth than he the past four years.

   1. He was 6 for 17 in the 2nd half. Unfortunately 4 of those were caught by the Badgers.

   2. Speaking of Nola, I'm looking forward to seeing how many interceptions Tulane Tanner throws next year.

7. meat, have you eaten at Patois? It was spectacular. The b-i-l and s-i-l just moved a few blocks from there.

   1. Yes, but you know that the joint was held up at gunpoint this year....

      1. Yikes. We made it out safely.

      2. This reads like an admission of guilt.

   2. I hope you weren't on Bourbon last night. Second mass shooting on bourbon in 2 1/2 years.

      1. Nope, went to Dat Dog after dinner because the b-i-l is a Gator and its apparently the local Gator bar.

         1. That's ... Interesting.

8. My viewership got the Wild a point, and it's done wonders for the Wolves so far this game, too.

   1. Oh, man. Third quarters this year.

      1. Steph Curry is absurd.

9. Gophers were leading 17-7 at the half and it should have been 21-7 after a perfect pass was dropped in the end zone. They still led 17-10 in the third quarter and were in easy field goal range when Mitch Leidner remembered, oh wait, I am Mitch Leidner and proceeded to have a horrific 20 mins even for him and Gophers lose 31-17 to Wisconsin, their 13th straight loss in the "rivalry." I seriously continue to be astounded that anyone would consider Leidner an NFL draft pick let alone a first-round draft pick. Of course, if anyone did, it would be the Vikings.

   1. Wait, people actually think he's going to play a minute in the NFL?

      1. I saw an article that described him as a possible first round draft pick before the season.

         1. Cocaine is a powerful drug.

10. I'm assuming that Rob Rang is Leidner's uncle, maybe?
