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, […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
