This comes as no shock to folks who have read previous articles, but when I was a kid, I collected lots of Star Wars toys and other merchandise, including trading cards and comics. Even less surprising, I never ‘outgrew’ those things – I still read the comics and look at the cards. And sometimes play […]
Kanye West is an interesting cat. He continuously makes headlines for his high-profile marriage, and now divorce, with Kim Kardashian, interrupting awards shows to voice his disagreement with the declared winners, running for President, and his stream of consciousness tweets. His unorthodox behavior sometimes detracts from his remarkable success. West is one of the world’s […]
Like most Wisconsinites, I’m excited about the Brewers’ lead in the NL Central and hope they can make another long playoff run. I’m also pumped for Badger football to return and to see if they finish first in the Big Ten West Division, as predicted. At the same time, I can’t wait for the Packers’ […]

I am a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which, so far, is comprised of 23 films. The standalone movies all reference one another, yet they tie together to tell a grand over-arching story. In addition to the movies, the Disney+ streaming service currently has three TV shows that are woven into the MCU […]
While I love the smell of coffee, I hate the way it tastes. Just a little sip leaves a horrible, bitter taste in my mouth. Apparently, people who drink Folgers are feeling the same way. Folgers is at the center of several class action lawsuits filed by coffee drinkers that believe they were shortchanged. Most […]
It’s a sad fact that sometimes basic transportation needs get in patients’ way of accessing health care, and no health care provider wants to see their patients go without care just because they can’t get rides to the clinic. While it may seem like paying for a patient’s Uber ride, cab fare, or bus ticket […]
On a rerun of Judge Judy, a man brought a lawsuit against a woman to reclaim his dog. He told Judge Judy that someone stole his dog and the woman he sued was in possession of it. The woman replied that she bought the dog off a man in the street and has cared for […]
