This past Christmas was great. Leading up to the big day, I was able to watch some of my favorite Christmas movies, including “Jingle all the Way.” The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad, a pair of devoted fathers who will stop at nothing to buy their kids the year’s hottest toy – a Turbo […]

In the summer of 1985, my family went to Orlando. We got to visit Disney World, Epcot Center and SeaWorld. SeaWorld was pretty cool because we got to see a show featuring Shamu, their killer whale. We were sitting close enough to the water tank that we got splashed when she jumped. 12-year-old me thought […]
One of my favorite TV commercials ever was Geico’s ad for the 2015 Super Bowl. It featured Salt-N-Pepa, a rap sensation from the 1980s and ‘90s, performing their hit “Push It.” The spot opens with a man unsuccessfully trying to pull open a door until the group tells him to “push it.” They then proceed […]
In July, my wife and I trekked to Omaha to drop our daughter off at grad school at the University of Nebraska Medical College. It’s an 8-hour journey, so we made a few pit stops along the way. We love to fill up the gas tank at Kwik Trips, because they are very clean and […]
Last year, my wife and I went to Aruba to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was unbelievably hot, so thankfully we were near a gorgeous beach and our hotel had a huge pool. When I took off my shirt to take a dip, however, apparently the glare off my tan-less Wisconsin torso could be […]
In the fall of 2025, the federal government experienced its longest shutdown in history. In addition to the thousands of government employees who could not work, thousands of other Americans faced difficulties with food and housing assistance, airline travel, and visiting national parks and museums. It was a stressful time, and presumably, many people turned […]
We’re coming up on Christmas, my favorite time of year. Every year I get so excited to watch the greatest Christmas movie of all time – Die Hard. The movie came out in 1988. Early on in the film, John McClane calls the police to warn them of the terrorists. The LAPD dispatcher notifies Sgt. […]

I’ve been fortunate to live on the same street my entire life. We are tucked away in the far northwest corner of Kimberly, so, for 50 years, the only cars that drive past my house belong to a handful of neighbors. That was until e-delivery services took off. Now, Door Dash, Uber Eats and Instacart […]
