Out of Control

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 […]

Now, Door Dash, Uber Eats and Instacart […]
