Life as seen through the eyes of a displaced cheesehead formerly living in San Francisco now taking on the Pacific Northwest! Put a bird on it!

Miss B in Madison with cheese and Fromagination


Cold beer and fried cheese curds....YUM!



The no helmet law prevails in Wisconsin. Not a bad shot of Lake Wisconsin either.

My new ride

Miss B got herself a scooter and I fell in love with it. Her's is brand new, a Kymco, and pretty darn sweet. A pal from work moved to run things at the jelly doughnut factory we have in Singapore and had his buddy scooter for sale at a price I could not refuse. His name is "Burnie" because of the burnt orange color and the way he gets around town. I love Burnie and seriously, this is my mid-life crisis purchase but far better than the Porsche I originally wanted. (Miss B said I would look like an ass in one and well, once again, she was right.) As of yesterday the title is transferred and he is now registered to me. It is FUN and I look forward to buzzing around town on this thing whenever possible. It's a 2006 and just like the one above with a little bit of rust on the mirrors. Other than that, it is in GREAT shape! The hardest part was passing the driving test at the DMV. You had to drive really slowly through these cones and then around this tight circle without having the front wheel go out of it and not put your foot down. I passed though and am a certified driver for a scooter or motorcycle. I will stick with Burnie for now!

Beep beep! Here I go! The best part = $3.50 to fill it up and it gets 80 MPG!
