Off to Milwaukee, WI for 4 days of AVCA "First Serve" women's college volleyball. 8 of the pre-season top 10 teams are facing off; it should be exciting.

Looks like I'll be volunteering about 60 hours of election official stuff in Wisconsin for our August primary. That's training, In-person Absentee, and election day combined.

On my way back from B-fest movies in Evanston, as we skirted Milwaukee, we were driving on West I-894, North I-41, and South I-43 at the same shared time and pavement. Almost as silly as some of the films.

Have picked 13 movies for the WI film festival, at their "first of the fest" preview night. This is needed, as when the general ticket sales start on Saturday, I'll be in Evanston watching other, inferior movies at B-fest.

Ilona Andrews fans have probably already bought & downloaded "Beast Business", which is a nice (Montgomery/Harrison) addition to their Hidden Legacy universe. But admit it, we're all really in love with the new Arabella Baylor short, "Arabella Saves the Day". Read them in that order.

Ok, Friday 1/23 in Wisconsin is looking *COLD*, like -40F wind chill. The UW-Madison is cancelling classes, which almost never happens. I doubt any K-12 schools in the entire state will be open.

Excited to see which college volleyball team wins the NCAA division 1 women's championship. The usual suspects (Penn State, Stanford, Texas, Nebraska) have all been eliminated. I'm rooting for the WI Badgers, suspect it will be Kentucky, but would be thrilled if Pitt or TAMU break through.

PBS American Masters is about to premier "Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse" about the cartoonist, most famous for "Maus". Best anecdote from producer Alicia Sams at the Wisconsin Film Festival screening: when proposed as the father of graphic novels, Art demands a paternity test. Recommended!

It's been an exciting week for US rocket companies: blue origin made orbit on their first New Glen launch, and later that same day SpaceX caught a starship booster. Still some R&D to do; team blue didn't land their booster, and spacex blew up their new orbiter.

The 2022 Wisconsin low budget indie flick "Hundreds of Beavers" will be back in Madison at the Barrymore for one night only, Thursday 12/4. It's hysterically funny - I've never heard a movie audience laugh so much, and I highly recommend it to fans of silent movies, video games, and slapstick.
