{Adult language}Well that lasted exactly two minutes. One mile.My beautiful dream becoming reality – now apparently over. This was going to be our chance to re-connect, away from our busy work lives, away from our community commitments, away from our household responsibilities. A romantic getaway, just the two of us in a cozy cabin, looking forward to ten days of all the fun places and scenic splendors of central Wisconsin. But then, oh so close to the freeway and freedom, it all started turning bad.On the side street that leads across the m...

Genes and T-Shirts Barbara J Nosek Her looks are alluring, disarming, the textbook definition of adorable – and totally deceiving. This kitty is able to hide her true nature behind her ragdoll mother’s contribution, china blue eyes in a perfect cool gray triangle with matching soft plump paws and showpiece tail, surrounding a fluffy cloud of snow white fur.

Off to work, and what is sure to be a sweets-laden morning break in celebration of my 30th birthday. I go out the door. And step into my past. Well, what the . . . I should be seeing a street lined with beautiful oaks, deep green lawns, and vinyl-clad two stories. Instead, I’m looking over sun-scarred grass, tropical flowers, and a swamp beyond. This is the scene I saw every day growing up in rural Louisiana. This makes no sense, al...

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A KEY MAKESBy Lori MadiganWell it’s pretty clear I wouldn’t be here, sitting alone in this small room, if my 14-yr old daughter Dana hadn’t become such an avid K-pop fan. That’s how we ended up months ago at a Saturday noontime concert at our small local theater where K-PLAZE, an aspiring local group, was given the opportunity to perform in advance of the regular movie schedule. It’s important to note that the concession counter had been opened early for the event.Even though I wasn’t necessarily looking forward to it, we h...
