Into the Great Write Open

Hello and Welcome

Blog one, day one. Should have done this before the coffee wore off.  I have decided to jump into blog land and see how it goes.  Topics will include Cooking, Music, Film, Football, Politics, Cancer, and life as an at home dad / husband.  
I will also take questions and have a few trivia question / raffle items as well.


As we are starting football season, here is a quick tip.  Soak the Bratwurst in Guinness Stout or your favorite beer several hours before cooking. Grilled or in a pan, it greatly improves the Brat eating experience.  For those of you who truly appreciate great football, here's what you will be doing for the next few months, http://www.packers.com/gameday/schedule.html


A few quick thoughts on politics....   Obama was born on American soil, so no more of that please. He has been  too soft on BP and dealing with the oil spill. I think he should have been spending more time down there when it first happened.  Democrat Senator Harry Reid is not a good leader and seems to be losing any influence he may have once had. Illinois Republicans are hoping for a huge comeback this fall as Blagojevich and the critter who lives on top of his head keep some local Democrats on the defensive.  


Music tip for the day.....  you need both Rubber Soul and Revolver in your home. Life is not complete with just one.  


Lame excuse for trivia question...How much more black could it be?


Thats the trial run, thanks, be well, see ya.
