26. I guess that's it

although the worm has turned in recent times (you've been beating us regularly). I had a law school classmate from UW who would regularly torment me in the most indecent of ways (the guy was relentless!). I'm going to be sending him gifts with current scores as the motif from here on in. For our paper anniversary (this year), he gets the basketball score (we *finally* beat you guys).

On the cold, yes, holy crap is it cold. So very, very cold. I love the Madison campus (love Madison, in general), and somehow the campus does not invite cold in the way the open stretches in Ann Arbor do (imo). Although I remember being in Racine and being as cold as I've ever been in my life, excepting a New Year's trip to Montreal. Racine = Oh My God Cold.
