Man, go to the site and it's under construction. Sounds like the federal highway department in the summer. Anyway, I'm still around, (unfortunately, as my wife says) but have been pretty busy with Bicycle Safety workshops. Our grant runs out at the end of August so you know how that goes with federal grants.....use it or lose it.

Somehow I must have raised my hand at a meeting I didn't know I attended and wound up being a University Supervisor for student teachers this fall. I'm under contract with Montana State University-Northern, in Havre Montana, to supervise 3 student teachers who have been placed in the Missoula area. At least I get paid for it and a travel stipend. It should be fun and I'm looking forward to it.

I will be traveling to Milwaukee on August 12th to visit my mother one more time. Her health has slipped considerably in the past 2 months (at 94 whose health wouldn't?) and my brother who lives in Milwaukee said if I can get back and see her alive I better hustle. I will be in Milwaukee from late August 13th until noon August 16th. Not a long visit, but my mother doesn't know or recognize any of us anymore. She'll probably think I'm Bill Clinton....she hated that man for whatever reason she dreamed up.......and throw a bed pan at me. She is in St. John's on the Lake and I'm sure I will get an earful from the staff about her. Ha...I'm going to wear my old catchers protection equipment from my Legion Baseball days. Old Cudworth Post Legion team, 1958-61.

Anyway, I'm trying to catch up on all the forum topics. Seems that the longer you're gone the more nothing changes. Wade's still Wade; DakotaT is still DakotaT; and Vikesrule is still annoying! LOL

Sorry about your mother, Bob. My mother is only in her mid 60's and I'm a terrible son who very seldom calls her because she insists on talking jibberish, nonstop. You should stop on your way through Bismarck with some more of those awesome preserves, and we can do a barter. Have a nice trip.

Sorry to hear about your Mother. My mother at, 78, is fairly healthy but we can see her mentally slipping away. My brother is a doctor and he says he is really surprised by how quick she is progressing. It will be 5 years this month that Dad passed away. That was really tough but it is going to be so much more difficult when Mom goes.

All the best to you and your family during this time.

BTW hope you don't get stuck in a snow bank while you are going to or coming back from school. I hear winter can be a real bear in MT in the winter. I figure you have about 3 weeks until it gets her.

The old site platform was restrictive, but also had a plethora of features that would never be used, yet wasted server resources. The Home and About pages are under development. The lack of filling those pages with something, you can blame my job. Suddenly they decided to make me earn my money, and then some.

DakotaT....I'd love to stop, but unless Amtrak changes it's route, the closest I'll get is "WhyNot-Minot." I don't fly
and even a shitload of happy pills wouldn't get me on a plane. Besides from Missoula to Milwaukee is 2 1/2 times the price of a train ticket and two layovers....Salt Lake City and Omaha. I could go over to Spokane WA and fly at a much cheaper price, but still two layovers and hey.......it's still a plane.

i am also sorry to hear about your mom. it's never easy, no matter their age. my mom is 76 & recently had a bit of a scare with a kidney function test. turns out it's just from 'old age' & appears to be nothing to worry about. other than that, she takes no pills for anything. i'm very thankful for this but i know when she does start to go downhill, it'll be very hard to watch. you hang in there & you will, as always, be in my nightly prayers.

Bob.....i'm sorry to hear about your Mom.
No matter the age, it's never easy.
I wish i had more comforting words to say, but i know that nothing makes it easier.....except to know you have people that care about you and have been there also.

    Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.
    Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
    Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
    beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
    Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
