Monday March 14th, 2011 - Fox Lake, IL/Racine, WI Another birthday, and since I can’t stop them from coming I might as well find as many ways to enjoy them as I can. Yeah, I’m getting older - but so is everyone else. I’m not the first person to be in this position an...
The Packers are going to the Super Bowl! I can only look at this event from the frame of reference which is having had grown up in the small town of Manitowoc, thirty minutes outside of Green Bay.
