Wisconsin in the fall is magical. I was 8 the first time I visited. It was my first out-of-state fishing trip. My grandparents took me to Yellow Lake near Spooner. I’ve been in love with the Northwoods ever since. This past week reminded me why.
It's easy to tell that Mike Kehoe used to sell cars, maybe he still does when he is not busy being governor. He should know a lemon when he sees one, but he just signed off on a lemon for the voters of Missouri. Trump's Republican sycophants in Jefferson City did not want to be out dumbed by…
Did you know that a mourning dove has 2,635 feathers?
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away—actually, it wasn’t even a galaxy yet. This was a place before outer space. Before space-time. Before the universe.
Good morning, everyone.
September is many things. It’s the official end of summer, as the autumn equinox approaches. It is the month of the Harvest Moon, because harvests begin across the country to bring in the bounty of our great land. Too, September is the month of dove, teal, gigging and bow seasons. It’s an ex…
The other day I was speaking with the mom of a 5th grader who lives in the southwestern part of the state. She was asking my opinion on something that had taken place in her daughter’s 5th grade class a few days prior to our conversation.

“You did what?” my uncle asked, not so nicely. He has a way of making an inquiry about one’s health sound like an interrogation.
The political assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radicalized 22 year old has shocked and shattered our sense of normalcy.
Why is everyone waiting for the next ember to create a spark of anger in the cultural psyche? Is everyone so bored that being indignant about something is the only way to fulfill one’s days?
Surveys show that most of us place a high priority on our health and wellness. That’s probably not surprising to hear. But as common a goal as improving health is, it can sometimes feel like a mystery how we can actually work toward it, with busy days filled with work, family and other impor…
New exhibits, revamped displays, remodeled areas, creamy ice cream, and fresh squeezed lemonade made for a wonderful evening at the Shannon County Museum on Friday, Sept. 5. About 50 people attended—it was a great way to celebrate the end of our tenth year in our building.

“Do I need to buy you a new pair of shoes?” asked an old friend the other day.
We had hiked almost 30 miles that day. We had been on the Camino de Santiago for a month. Everything on my body was either tired or non-functioning.
