It’s a rough day in Wisconsin.
It’s Monday. The Packers lost yesterday and won’t be going to the Super Bowl. Plus we’re getting 7 inches of snow.
Yup – this statue is made out of snow. And so much hope.
Why blog? Especially if it’s “just personal”?
One of the things I wrestle with sometimes is practicality. Or rather, my creative side wrestles with my practical side.
My dad had a phrase I heard on a regular basis: “What does that have to do with the price of milk?” He hauled milk for a living, working 52 [...]
I had to visit a tropical place yesterday: Olbrich Gardens in Madison, WI. I brought my son along, too, even though he said “Plants are stupid.” I said, “Plants are cool.”

Snow is melty and dirty. But the fog hides some of the rough patches.
Here’s the bike trail as seen from a wooden bridge that crosses it. 44 degrees today in Southern Wisconsin.
