Okay, the first question H and I got a lot when we said that we were going to “camp” at my family’s cottage in northern Wisconsin… I came up with the dumb second part, but really, this trip was Loon… Continue reading

Freedom, Where Art Thou?
I had every intention of coming back here to write about my visits in Galena, IL, the Northwoods of Wisconsin, Memphis, Boston/Salem, and DC. I still will, but the inspiration drained quickly. If you are in America, or keep up… Continue reading
