Apologies if anyone was up late hitting refresh waiting for the podcast to appear (cough *IRONMAN* cough) but this week finds your intrepid blogger on stage at his daughters school as the M.C. of her Christmas show. It's three nights of very cute kids, very aggressive adults and a whole lot of Christmas music. I'm the comic relief.

Couple this assignment with Corey's continued work on the worldwide New Years Eve telecast, and time is a cruel mistress for the Packer Transplants this week. No doubt we will be back next week after another humiliating nationally televised loss where our defense sets some record for futility a big Monday night win to get ready for the Bailout Bowl.
