Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade By Martha Landry In my family we have Thanksgiving lunch and dinner and we are always late to lunch because I have to finish out the parade.

Burgers by Eric Christenson Let me just say that pizza is good. I appreciate a good pizza, believe me when I say this. But burgers are just better in every way. Now, I’m not weird and I’m not naïve; I know that if you add bacon to anything it gets better, exponentially better. EXCEPT for pizza.... Read more »

Sudokus By Scott Hansen Crosswords are tough; let’s just get that out of the way. They alienate anyone who doesn’t have a wide vocabulary or know a lot about culture and synonyms.

Wisconsin The long-established saying goes “age before beauty” and in the Wisconsin-Minnesota flag debate, this holds true. Wisconsin was a state 10 years before Minnesota, which gives our flag a more mature and practical flavor. I’m not saying that the Wisconsin flag is less attractive;... Read more »
