Thankfully it was not for a loss. I have been fortunate in that regard. 5 years ago my son played football and wrestled all through high school. Good athlete but was not going beyond that. After his last wrestling match, he kissed the mat. I knew he knew it was all done. That night when I t...

Refresh me on what a FIB is again? I know it refers to people from Illinois who move or own property in Wisconsin. Would I unfortunately qualify as one if I am not originally from this shithole? I grew up in La and Tx. ...

Wisconsin is beautiful. Both of my kids go to college in Wisconsin because it is cheaper than staying in Illinois. The drive from here in Illinois to in laws in MN is always scenic. Tons of nice state parks for camping . The people are always nice. The badger fans were always cool to LSU fans a...

We are looking at the riverstone and bear paw. I know it is going to be hit or miss when we are there which is a drag, but unfortunately that is how our schedule worked out. I figure we will still have some fun….not planning any strenuous stuff anyway, and the main road will likely still be cl...

Drove up to Lake Geneva, WI for winter fest. Checked out some ice sculptures and snow sculptures. Took a ride in a hovercraft across the frozen lake. Had some fried walleye, then went to a brewery that was built in an old church for a couple beers then came home. Beautiful sunny day in the 30’s ...
