With the NFC Championship at Lambeau tomorrow, it’s like all of Wisconsin is a drag racer getting ready for it’s next big run.  Short headers all pointing skyward, spitting fire and popping as we inch up to the starting tree.  And when that first ball is kicked off, the tree turns green - we’ll be racing through gears and beers, driving to get to the end of the strip before the guy in the other lane.

But tonight, we prep.  And that means lots of men who ordinarily never see the inside of a grocery store looking for the just the right spices, condiments and appetizers to spread out before them in a feast of carbs and fat.  Today my wife spotted two younger guys frantically searching for dill and garlic powder for what will certainly be a chip-and-dip extravaganza tomorrow.

And then there’s the beer pyramids at the front of every grocery store statewide.  As a state we are at peak party preparedness.

I have a family now, so the big playoff parties don’t happen at our place much anymore.  Well, that and the guy that peed all over the bathroom the last time we hosted a Packer playoff game kind of put a damper on the fun.
