2011 Kick-Off
Friday, September 09, 2011
G’day Green Bay, and to every other Packer fan not even remotely close to Green Bay! What a great day to be a fan of the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. Just thought I’d throw a short note in here ‘cause traffic has picked up considerably in the last week. I had to let you all know that I’m just as pumped as you guys. Even if it is Friday morning down here and pouring rain. Will come back with an entire Scullino family winter wrap-up and thoughts on the game after it’s all said and done. I’ve even taken the day off work to watch it!
Enjoy your Packer-palooza!!! From what I’ve seen on telly so far, I really do wish we were there!
Talk soon,

Yup, you read right, Winter 2011. ‘Cause while you’re all the way up there enjoying our sunshine, we’re all the way down here freezing our you-know-what’s off. And let me tell you, we’re freezing. It was 38 this morning when we got up!
Haha! Break out the cries of laughter. I know I’m being a big wuss but believe me 38 in Sydney is a whole lot colder than 38 in Green Bay. For starters most of us don’t have central heating. Our shopping centers don’t have vestibules to keep out the cold and I for one have a car in which the heater doesn’t work. Also, the glass that we use on our windows down here is thin enough that half the time you wouldn’t know whether you’re inside or outside. Sure, it’s beautiful in summer but when winter rolls around we’re living in an ice-box!

I don’t write a lot about the NFL in general. As most that have followed me over the years would know, I tend to stick to The Once in a Lifetime theme by focussing my updates on travelling, my family and of course the Green Bay Packers. Having said that, I always figured I’d jump onto the article writing bandwagon one day. With day one of the 2011 NFL Draft now complete, I figure today is as good a time as any.
So welcome to a wonderful little world that I will refer to, when required, as ‘In My Opinion’. Aptly named because that’s what it’ll be. An occasional take on whatever it is that’s happening around the league, in my opinion.
Let’s get to it.

I feel like it’s been so long since I’ve updated the website. I guess that’s because it has been. Life has been going at a tremendous pace and there hasn’t been alot of time for me to step back and take a break from it all. Since I last said hello, work has gotten a whole lot busier and my extra-curricular activities have been more demanding also. The boys have been wonderful and so too, of course, has my lovely wife.
We’re on Easter break at the moment, only a few hours from Good Friday in fact and we’re looking forward to hanging out together, with our friends over the next few days off. There’s Easter egg hunts, Easter egg painting as you can see and hopefully a whole lot of Easter weekend sunshine that we can enjoy whilst we’re off. I am sorry that I’ve asked for that by the way, I have been staying in touch with some of my Green Bay pals via Facebook and Twitter and I see you’ve just had a whole lot of snow that wasn’t at all welcome. In the middle of April I can see why you’d be a little upset! (The opening pic is a little sand sculpture I created at the beach the other day.)
What in the World?

So here we are again, weeks since the last update despite it feeling like only days have passed us by. And, though it feels like I say this every time, what a couple of weeks it has been. Summer is slowly fading away, work days are getting longer, Ben’s homework is getting harder and all the while we continue to run out of hours in the day! I say that ‘cause I’m sure it’s the one thing we all have in common. Heck, it’s the middle of March already. Can anbody believe that?
As for what we’ve witnessed online and in the news over the last couple of weeks it’s been disturbing to say the least. Poor Christchurch in New Zealand has crumbled, we’ve seen civil uprising in Egypt and Libya, with the latter being gunned down by their own leader and of course the earthquake and potential nuclear meltdown in Japan.
