Earlier this year, our family flew to San Francisco for Spring Break. Eventually. After a smooth flight from Appleton to Chicago, we got stuck on the runway for over 4 hours at O’Hare because of an unexpected April blizzard. They then canceled our flight and couldn’t get us on another one for three days. Oh, […]

Last week, our family went to Shopko for the last time. It was sad because most of the store was empty and the few shelves that had items for sale were heavily picked over and left in disarray. It was a far cry from when the department store first opened. I remember it being jammed, […]

Daredevil’s alter ego is Matt Murdock, an attorney in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen who typically represents the little guy against big businesses, many of which are owned by Daredevil’s nemesis, the crime boss Kingpin. As a youth, Matt pushed an elderly man […]
