What Remains

Yesterday, President Trump came to town to headline a campaign rally for GOP Senate nominee Mike Braun.  Much could be said about the politics of this visit but the main reason to share is that Trump’s visit directly affected Walker.  Trump appeared at the Ford Center which directly faces Signature School.  As a result of […]

Itchy

Mason is my hero. He has been a chronic allergy sufferer for most of his life and years ago he received allergy shots.  Then one day, he strongly voiced a preference to stop and to just rely on oral medications for relief.  Lately, the allergies have seemed to be annoying enough that he acquiesced to […]

Kudos for the Doc

Look who got a little press? Although Bill knew he was chosen, he let us discover it for ourselves when he brought home the Sunday paper.

Lodge Week 2018

Lodge week kicked off for Mason last Sunday.  He stayed in Brebeuf in the Boxer cabin.  We spotted Mason on Bunk 1 really hamming it up when he knew the camera was on him.  Carrying the water baby on the all day hike with Will Playing games with Bella and others at Kane Lake Chilling […]
