Monroe Waiting In Line Festival
We paid a visit to the Monroe Cheese Fest yesterday, which, if they were honest, they would call the Monroe Standing In Lines Fest. Ten thousand people crowded the city square of Monroe, so there were lines for everything. There were even lines to get in lines. I’m not kidding. To buy cheese curds, or… Read.

gonna coffee all day
Seems like I am just not going to be awake today. Funky weird sleep last night, kept waking up, would lay awake for at least one gong of the clock in the front room, then fall into dreamless sleep only to wake up again. The common factor seemed to be a bubble of gas big… Read.

My Darling B made pizza for dinner last night. She wanted it cooked on the grill. Since I am the grillmaster, it fell to me to figure out how to cook a pizza on the grill. This is the story of my PIZZA FAIL. Just to get this out of the way: Does anybody other… Read.

Teriyaki Samurai set up this booth at Taste Of Madison today. Notice anything missing? Like maybe at least one dish with teriyaki in it? I was really looking forward to teriyaki by the time I got to this point. They could’ve at least had a ninja making the smoothies. My Darling B and I biked… Read.

Friday night after work: We’re at the far end of the bar, enjoying a frosty cold one at One Barrel Brewing Company. “Wait, you’re at the end of the bar? Then who’s taking the photo?” I’ve got a new camera. It’s got legs and even makes me coffee in the morning. Okay, I’m taking the… Read.

Brooklyn Breakfast
Rode my bike to work yesterday. The weather was flawless and perfect in every way, so I had to ride my bike. I would’ve hated myself all day if I hadn’t. Rode it to work again today. The weather tricked me this time. It was nice this morning, but on the way home I was… Read.

“Would you like to meet me at Glass Nickel after work?” I asked My Darling B by text message late yesterday afternoon. She answered “OK!” about a half-hour later, just as I was packing up my saddle bags in preparation for leaving the office. I changed into shorts and a summery shirt, headed out the… Read.
