Ever since I was a young boy, I have enveloped myself in all things video games. It all started when my parents bought me my first original Game Boy back in 1996. I immediately set out to become a Pokémon Master in Pokémon Blue and struggled to beat Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. As I’m still an […]
It’s a calling. It’s something that sort of takes over who I am. People ask me why I do this and it is what makes me most alive. It is what I believe in. It is my happiness. And it’s what I do. – Lynsey Addario What would compel someone to travel to distant lands, leaving their […]

I was pursuing Chase’s Calendar of Events looking for inspiration and saw that May is Get Caught Reading Month, and thought “that’s it!, that’s what I am going to write about.” There is a great site to learn more about Get Caught Reading along with a lot of information about other reading initiatives at www.getcaughtreading.org.

I can’t thank my dad enough for the time he spent teaching my siblings and me, from the time we were old enough to drive, how to fix our own vehicles. We worked on everything from changing the oil to tear-the-engine-out projects. At the time, the lessons weren’t always appreciated. I wanted to be out […]

I was at the Eau Claire Marathon on Sunday, but I wasn’t running. This year’s event drew thousands of runners who participated in the full marathon, half marathon, 5-K, relays where members of a team run part of the distance, and kids’ races. I’m not, and have never been a runner, but my daughter is, […]

After working at the public library for 38 years, I’m retiring in May. I’ll be 65 years old by then and my health is good, so it seems like the right time. With my last day practically around the corner, I was recently asked, “So, are you excited by the prospects of retirement or apprehensive?” […]

When I moved to from Eau Claire to Chippewa Falls nearly two summers ago, I began to wonder what I would listen to on the ride to work. Previously, my commute only took 10 minutes, which was fine for fiddling around with the radio. My new route, however, accounted for a full hour driving each […]
If you had asked me 2 years ago if I would ever own an e-reader, the answer would have been a strong and definite no! However, I finally gave in and purchased a Kindle Paperwhite. I decided that it would be beneficial for me, as a librarian, to learn how to set-up and use this […]
