Working in the yard
posted 4 days ago | 0 comments
Lawns don't grow much at this time of year in this part of the country. I love to have a nice lawn, and find it frustrating when I can't or don't have the lawn of my dreams. This all started a long, long time ago in a land far, far away - Wisconsi...

Sometimes I think time is like a spring, not a straight line, beginning to end, but a coil that wraps closely upon itself but never touches another part. When you're born, you are at the start of the coil or spring, and as time goes on you travel ...

I love college football, don't know if it's just because it's an excuse to veg out all day Saturday, and even some Thursday evenings, or if I really am a big fan! I'm a Wisconsin Badgers fan, and enjoy all Big Ten games and SEC as well. I can watc...
