Let's split it

There's been a lot of travel in our family since March, which means the fridge is more of a barren cavern than stocked with it's usual bounty of healthy fare. So, by default and out of admitted laziness, we've been enjoying more meals "out," than are typical for us. So, how are we avoiding the major ouch in our pocketbook and around our waistlines? Well, we're splitting entrees.

"Swan Lake" satisfies

Michael Pink's interpretation of "Swan Lake" is at times joyful, at times melancholic, but always physically sublime.

Kramp will rhyme for cash

When Jack and Nick Packard, the creative team behind FunnyOrDie.com's "Bowling Trick Shots" videos contacted me and wanted to film something fun I was a bit hesitant. After some convincing to get me in front of the camera we headed out and filmed some creative ideas.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" both a rollicking and rocky mission

With all of that in place, it would seem the sequel's phasers would be all set to stun. But something's off. There's a sequence where the starship Enterprise is flying at warp speed when a big, clunky-looking vessel comes up from behind and nudges it off its exhilarating track. That's pretty much "Star Trek Into Darkness" in a nutshell, except replace the big, clumsy vessel with a big, clumsy story.

Real or fake? Many don't prefer the real thing

Real or fake? Many don't prefer the real thing when it comes to their sports jerseys. Fake "authentic" sports jerseys is a booming online business, but it does hurt the local retailer.

Rise in transit tides lifts all boats

Everyone wants to be able to get around a city easily. It's simple in stuff. Cities need bike lanes, roads, side walks, taxis, rail, trolleys, busses and other forms of transit to move people from here to there.

Rhino Foods: more than cans of crickets

Rhino Food Store, 7411 W. Hampton Ave., is what I always want Pacific Produce to be: cheap, unoffensive to my sense of smell and filled with my favorite Asian foods and items.

Let's put the "front" back in Front Street

For a variety of reasons, I've been thinking about Front Street, which now seems so ironically named, fronting as it does onto nothing and serving as the ultimate definition of a Milwaukee "backstreet." In my mind, I see something much different that can be seen on the block today.

TV loyalty

I watched the series finale of "The Office" last night, but before I did, I had to blow through the previous five episodes gathering dust on my DVR. In the end, it was worth the night of marathon television, but when I think about the entire final season of "30 Rock," also unwatched on my DVR, I wonder when I'll get around to it.
