I admit, I indulged in a little toilet papering before a big soccer game back in high school!  But that pales in comparison to the story I had to cover today in Mukwonago.  Apparently some of the teens there have traded in the toilet paper for old furniture.  17 Mukwonago students are in hot water for dumping old furniture on someone's lawn as part of a homecoming prank.  According to police, they had some help from a 34-year-old man.  That man wound up hitting a neighbor with one of the get-away vehicles.  Now he could be facing more serious charges.  All of the teenagers got tickets.  The neighbor who was struck injured his leg, but is expected to be OK.   

The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra started its new season this weekend, and I got to take in my first performance.  Wow!  It was absolutely incredible!  They brought in a world-famous pianist as a guest performer and he was spectacular.  That was followed by an amazing performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.  We are fortunate to have such wonderful talent in our own back yard.  I'll definitely be back to hear more! 

I got to do a story on Marquette's Water Ski Team today!  Like many, I had no idea that water skiing was a collegiate sport in this neck of the woods.  Several of the UW schools also have teams.  What a cool sport!  I wish I could've competed in something like that.  Best of luck to all the skiers I met in their quest to get to Nationals! 

I met four Milwaukee County bus drivers on Saturday, who have all been assaulted on the job.  I was shocked to hear their stories - I had no idea the job could be so dangerous.  I think it's a shame that anyone would attack a bus driver, who's only doing his or her job - a crucial service for thousands who don't own a car.  Please respect all drivers!   

I think I was inspired by Tiger Woods' unbelievable performance over the weekend at the PGA Championship!  I saved par yesterday after chipping out of the woods, right onto the green - and then sinking a 20 foot putt!  It's probably the only time in my life I'll be able to say that, so I had to brag a little.  Then on the next hole, I got a triple bogey.  Oh well.  It was good while it lasted!
