Nearby: Waukesha, WIThis past spring I did something which brought back some less-than-fond memories for me—I joined a choir.Don’t get me wrong—I’m very much enjoying singing in our church choir; more on that later.The thing is, the last time I sang in a choir was around 1973 or ‘74—yep, more than 50 years ago.That was at Butler Middle School in Waukesha. I can’t recall if it was seventh grade or eighth grade. I am pretty sure it wasn’t really by choice that I was in the large mixed choir. I’m guessing it was one of those deals where you had to choose at least one class from the arts. Given the fact that to this day I still struggle to put all the sticks of a stick man in the proper locations, I didn’t think an art class would be my best choice so I went with the music option.The funny thing is, I would have to think hard to remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I can recall the layout of my middle school choir classroom, where I sat and what the teacher looked like.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum was founded in 2014 in Milwaukee. As its name suggests, it creates bobbleheads with an emphasis on sports, but has since expanded into pop culture and touched on political options in limited runs since the 2016 presidential election. The newest line of political bobbleheads features a select range of politicians elected in the recent midterms, featuring figures like Texas’ James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa, Michigan’s Abul El-Sayed, Ohio’s Amy Acton, and Wisconsin’s very own Governor-elect David Crowley. Political bobbleheads have not been a big thing for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame past some presidents until around the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nearby: Milwaukee, WIThere are championship victories and then there are moments that become part of a community’s history. For Milwaukee and the surrounding Wisconsin communities, the Milwaukee Brewers first World Series championship was more than a baseball achievement. It was a celebration of hometown pride, perseverance, camaraderie and the shared excitement of generations of baseball fans. Having grown up in the Milwaukee area, I have a personal connection to the Brewers that goes back many years. I have attended countless games, met players, collected autographs from some of the well-known team players (Yount, Molitor, Deer, Gantner, Cooper) when I was younger and participated in the tailgating traditions that have become such a recognizable part of the Milwaukee baseball experience. Over the years, I have also enjoyed visiting the restaurants and team store inside the stadium, where fans can find an impressive selection of Brewers merchandise.

( Reportedly, about the size of 360 football fields.) According to Wikipedia, these giant rocks resulted from the Wisconsin glacial ice sheet more than 20,000 years ago. All of the land of Green-Wood and the surrounding landscape sits on the top of a glacial moraine.
