The pandemic has been going on now for almost 16 months, but hopefully we’ll be coming out of it soon. I look at how much we’ve learned about the coronavirus in that time and think about how scared we were at the beginning of the outbreak. I remember not letting my son play catch with […]
Last week we got together for dinner with my sister and we got to telling funny stories from our youth. She recounted one incident where a friend of hers was driving down College Avenue in Appleton. There was a photography studio on the Avenue that had blown up posters in their window of high schoolers’ […]
When I lived in Madison during law school, we would frequently order pizza from a local pizzeria. They charged $5 for a gigantic 20-inch pie. Even 25 years ago, we knew that deal was a little too good to be true. We assumed some of the ingredients couldn’t be real, and we were hoping it […]
When COVID hit last year, most businesses had to shut down, including gyms. When people could no longer get into the fitness center to work out, many of them invested in equipment for their homes. Some of those folks purchased equipment from Peloton. The New York City-based company was launched with help from a Kickstarter […]
A few nights ago, I watched the movie ‘That’s My Boy.’ The movie stars Adam Sandler as Donny Berger. In a flashback to 1984, a 7th-grade Donny hits on the hottest teacher in school, Ms. McGarricle, played by Eva Amurri (Amurri is Susan Sarandon’s daughter, which is cool because Sarandon plays present-day Ms. McGarricle). While […]
In the fall of 2019, Adams and Woodrow, S.C. merged with McCarty Law LLP. Ben Adams and Bill Woodrow, along with their paralegal, Brenda Mertz, joined McCarty Law because their attorneys offered the same services that Adams and Woodrow did, namely Elder and Special Needs, Estate Planning (Wills and Trusts), Probate and Estate Settlement law, […]
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, the Green Bay Packers weren’t great. While we all rooted for the Packers, my buddies and I all had “second favorite” teams to root for that actually had a chance to win the Super Bowl. My second favorite team was the Detroit Lions. While I clearly wasn’t good […]
A few years ago before he retired, one of my good friends from work needed back surgery. Not wanting to go under the knife, he asked his doctor if there was anything else he could do, and his doctor suggested yoga. While I assumed it was a ruse to hang out with younger women in […]
A couple of weeks ago I caught ‘The Terminal’ on cable. The movie stars Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski, a man visiting the U.S. from Krakozhia. When he arrives at JFK International Airport, Viktor learns that a revolution broke out in his home nation. Due to the civil war, the U.S. no longer recognized Krakozhia […]
Next month will mark the one-year anniversary of the onset of the pandemic and many of us being sent home to work from there. Thankfully, I got back into the office this past summer, but most of our attorneys and staff are still working from home. It’s been a year since I’ve eaten in a […]
