On Saturday, along with several family members, I attended the soccer match between FC Bayern Munich and Manchester City. It was an historic evening as this was the first soccer game ever played at Lambeau Field. The weather was very dicey, as play was suspended twice for lightning in the area when a wave of some pretty severe thunderstorms swept over the stadium. This in turn led to the match being shortened by 5 minutes in each half. Man City scored the only goal (there were several that were disallowed due to offsides), and the capacity crowd was treated to some outstanding Premier League play.
My daughter’s boyfriend was with us, and he was particularly excited. He was ranked the number 2 soccer player in the state of Wisconsin his senior year of high school. This led to him getting a full ride to Davidson College, where he was named to the All-Rookie team in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
On Sunday, I was at lakefront with my son-in-law and two grandsons for the Milwaukee Air & Water Show. This was the first time that I had been there for the actual show (I work downtown, and have always enjoyed going outside on my lunch breaks to watch the Blue Angels practice over the city), and will definitely try to make it a regular trip going forward!
