Service With A Smile
Friday night, I was on a fun outing with friends to go see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie. We decided to dine at the theater’s dining area, but due to the cab running late and a few other circumstances we had to grab the food and go into the movie. Normally, I don’t…

Hotel Hot Potato
Our New Orleans trip is soon approaching. Roughly two months out, finalizing the plans, and we find yet another snag. An email arrived from our hotel. They are closing for renovations in May. Sigh.

Fleeing the Fleas
Howdy all, It’s been a few weeks. This summer has been busy and crazy. My sister, who is 14 years younger than me, graduated high school and is going to attend UW Stevens Point in the fall (my Alma matter). My brother and his wife are expecting the first week of August (an exciting time…

Zoo-ming to the Zoo
This weekend, my girlfriend and I decided to take a trip to the Zoo, whilst allowing her to try a rental bike. She has not ridden a bike in years, and has been considering getting one for several months now, as my chair easily outpaces even the briskest paced walkers. She decided to try one…
