Finally, a beautiful weekend weather wise in Milwaukee! Believe it or not one of the rap worlds most enduring icons, O’Shea Jackson, turns 40 today. You may recognize him by his stage name, Ice Cube.
- The Brewers continue to suffer from some tough losses in June, going 3-7 in their last 10. On the upside: if you’re going to get cold, it helps to be cold when the rest of your division is. Despite a rocky June, they’re still in first place by a half game.
- Had a good time in Green Bay this weekend at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin convention. It’s always nice to network with folks from across the State and hear the enthusiasm of so many of our members. It’s hard to believe, but around this time last year, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were still fighting for the Democratic nomination. And how about Charles Woodson for Governor?!
- Speaking of politics, the Park People are going to be issuing a press release later today to clarify our desire for parks, recreation and culture to be included in any proposed sales tax coming out of the budget process. Many of us were caught a bit off guard when the parks component of the funding was removed in the Assembly and have to redouble our efforts with State Senators.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
