Dream Home Turned to Nightmare

In 2018, pop singer Katy Perry was featured on ‘American Idol’ as a judge. For the last three years, however, she has had to appear in court in front of an actual judge, over the purchase of her dream home. In May of 2020, Carl Westcott, the founder of 1-800-Flowers, bought a mansion in Montecito […]

All Wet

I used to love drinking Mountain Dew. The soda marketed strongly to young males, as their commercials featured dudes competing in extreme sports who stayed hydrated by “doing the Dew.” The campaign worked and it spawned countless imitators. The latest is arguably Liquid Death, a canned water company whose tagline is “murder your thirst.” The […]

A Taste of your own Medicine

On the way home from one of my son’s volleyball tournaments last year, our family stopped at a fast-food restaurant in Ripon. Normally, this chain is well known for being very well run. On this day, however, we had to wait over 45 minutes for our food in the drive through. We would have left, […]

Too Much Fiber

For my entire life, I have been a huge Hall & Oates fan. That’s why it was a dream come true when my sister got me tickets to see them in concert in Milwaukee two years ago. John Oates and Daryl Hall met while attending Temple University in Philadelphia. They released their first album in […]

Non-Renewable Energy

When we were kids, one of the coolest presents you could find under the tree was an NFL jersey found in the Sears Wishbook Christmas catalog. In 1982, I got a cool Detroit Lions Billy Sims jersey, while my buddy, Pearl, received a Houston Oilers Earl Campbell jersey. The Campbell jersey was a sweet powder […]

Too Personal

This is that magical time of year where we start to think of giving to others. And just after we’ve maxed out our credit cards on Black Friday, our real estate tax bill arrives in the mail. Many Wisconsin businesses, however, get two bills – one for their real estate and one for their personal […]

Burn Rubber

When I was a kid, we used to bike everywhere – to friends’ houses, to the park, and to Gordy’s grocery store on sample day to get free Pepsi. When my kids were little, though, they used scooters almost more than their bikes. They each had Razor scooters, which were essentially skateboards with handlebars. They […]

E.O. on A.I.

Over the last several months, I have written a bunch of articles about the infiltration of artificial intelligence into our lives. It is certainly a powerful tool and has enhanced our lives in many ways – but, like most technology, it can also be harmful. And as is often the case with technology advancing, its […]

Funeral Home Burns Pet Owners

Last week I wrote about the tragedy in Penrose, Colorado, involving Return to Nature funeral home. Owners Jon and Carie Hallford failed to give almost 200 people proper green burials or cremations and instead improperly stored the bodies in one of their shut down locations. Unfortunately, this despicable practice isn’t limited to people. Jacob Jetton […]

Bodies of Evidence

When my dad passed, our family had to plan for the burial of his cremains. Through sheer luck, the plot on the other side of my grandparents’ tombstone in the Holy Spirit cemetery was available. It’s a beautiful spot under a tree in the back near the YMCA, where he loved to swim. It is […]
