Irish Beat Badgers at Soldier Field
Saturday was a gorgeous day to attend a football game at Soldier Field. Low 70s with sun and a nice breeze. Uncle Chris hooked us up with 4 tickets to the Wisconsin/Notre Dame Shamrock Series contest. It was an 11am start. I got on the Blue Line from Bucktown just after 9am. One stop later, […]

Chicago deals with COVID-19
On Wednesday, things started getting real. That morning, Mayor Lightfoot cancelled both St. Patrick’s Day parades. Bummer. Is that really necessary? I wondered.

SkiFest: Devil’s Head in Merrimac
My brother-in-law started a tradition many years back called SkiFest. After a hiatus, we brought it back this year to celebrate Stephen’s birthday. Basically, it’s a weekend-long party with some skiing involved. Skifest is based at Devil’s Head Resort in Merrimac, Wisconsin, where Stephen & his friends (the numbers eventually swelled as both my sisters’ […]
