Wow. The weather today was unbelievably beautiful. A rich sixty degrees full of sunshine and droves of people on the sidewalks.

I meandered down the street for blocks on end filling my backpack with purchases of exotic fruits and vegetables. The window shopping and people watching was spectacular.

The smells wafting from sidewalk cafes took me back to the glorious days of putting our feet up while kicking back with a cold bottle of microbrew and grilling on the porch of 104 Breeze. Taking in March Madness in true Badger Red style and heckling passersby, later tailgating at Miller Park and hollaring for Burnitz and the Brew Crew. Good times, tinged with a bit of sadness now that those days are gone, but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
