    on business...

    Anyone have ideas of what I can do here tonight and/or tomorrow night?

    The accents are killing me. I just met a latina hottie at my hotel's concierge desk with a "Wis-cahn-sin" accent.

    Weird.

    Hey, I was just as shocked as anyone else.

    I feel like such a loser sitting in my hotel room watching "Sportscenter." There's gotta be something for me to do.

    I briefly dated a Mormon girl from Utah. Utah is nice but no diversity.

    Flew to Salt Lake City airport - everybody was white.

    Went to Blockbuster - everybody was white.

    Went to eat Mexican food at Los Hermanos - everybody was white.

    Went to the BYU campus - everybody was white (except a few coverted Tongans).

    Ah. I noticed that when I went to a Packer game at Lambeau. The only African-Americans I saw were on the field.

    Wow. Great list. Did you come up with that on your own?

    I was really hoping Lambeau Field was close by. But according to the map they gave me, its really not.

    I love that town. Fish Fry Fridays are great. The safe house is cool, in a touristy way. There is also this super great Chinese flavor old time 30's movie house that is amazing. I would go there every single day if I was in Milwaukee.

    Actually there is a small but still significant Latino population in Milwaukee.

    My ex- grew up in Milwaukee. When I got dragged to see her mom, I was shocked, but it's definitely there.
