I hadn’t been home to Wisconsin in the winter for many years. I prefer to visit in the summer when you can do things outside like bike and fish. Although it was mid-November, temperatures were already in the single digits:
On the campus where I had my job interview, the students were riding about on their bikes in those temperatures unaffected, wearing neoprene facemasks. Hardcore kids.
The interview went well I think. The interview committee had good poker faces though, so it was hard to tell what they thought. I have TWO job interviews in DC today. The first one is for communications stuff supporting a DHS program (with a lovely short commute from home), the second is to be the spokesperson for a nearby county deer management program which would be challenging and interesting. So something ought to come out of this soon we hope. Two. Fucking. Years. Of un- or under-employment. It’s been ridiculous.
Anyway, mom’s dog Andy was cute, and he loved his squeaky burger and fries:
Andy is probably a lot more well-behaved than the spoiled vermin owned by our favorite swamp hag.
Since there wasn’t much to do, I went down to the river’s edge and took artsy photos:
I found a hardware store where you could get the tools needed to make Scandinavian treats like sandbakkelse and krumkake:
I ate cheese curds every day. On the last day of my trip we found the place in LaCrosse with the largest cheese curds ever, possibly of this whole world:
Of course the eating does not end, as Thanksgiving approaches. I plan on eating even more.

I would eat those cheese curds. Eat a lot of them!

I bet something will come up soon. I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and feel you’re the kind who always bounces back. Go git ’em!
