Off in Milwaukee

Off the bike but on with programming. Today was rediculously busy, starting the morning off with another successful Kids on the Block show. Another funny story with KOB, I play Renaldo, a blind kid, and was informed by one of the kids that he wore glasses cause he was half blind. Renaldo replyed, "Oh really? I have contacts too!" Then Renaldo quickly made a recovery by saying, "Actually, this guy Ian behind me has contacts, right Ian?" After the show we all grabbed a little caffeine pick-me-up and headed to a day camp for people with disabilities. At the camp we got our mail including our team cycling hats and a ton of post cards, thanks if you sent one! At the camp I spent a lot of time with a 17 year old named Danny who loves to flirt with all the counselors. Typical teenager for sure, pretty funny kid too. From there it was time to head to the Pettit Center Ice Arena which is the Olympic training facility we are staying next to. We played some wheelchair ice hockey which was awesome. We had so much fun on the ice despite freezing our toes and fingers. It was pretty funny watching all our guys spin out on the ice whenever we tried to go. Despite having twice as many players, we still lost to our experienced foes. Following hockey it was straight to the Brewers vs. Pirates game. We did a little tailgating with our friends from Independence First. Miller Park was an incredible ballpark and during the tailgating we had a little frosting fight with Wes' birthday cake. Travis from bowling two nights ago joined us for the game and it was nice seeing him again. We were also joined at the game by 3 former cyclists. It was sweet seeing guys who want to stay involved with the trip even after theirs has ended.
