Good morning from the corner of a great place called "Nucleus", Over the past couple months I have been coming to a little place called Nucleus. It is a rather "earth muffin" sort of a place, but before you think I am maligning it, this is a term of endearment for me. A few of you might [...]

Good Morning from a little spot called the "Nucleus", Over the past few months I have found a little breakfast and coffee shop called the Nucleus. It is in Eau Claire, which is about 20 miles away from Menomonie. It is a wonderful place for two reasons. First, they have outstanding coffee and amazing breakfasts; and [...]

                                          Welcome back if you have not thought about this for awhile, I can admit, neither have I. Well, perhaps that is not exactly true. I have thought about writing, but have been frightened to do so because some did not appreciate my writing or perhaps what I wrote. At this point, I have decided [...]

Hello, It has been a while since I posted, not because I did not write, but rather because I messed something up on two occasions now, and everything I wrote disappeared before it somehow got posted. I am not exactly sure what I did. That is even more frightening. The semester is going quickly and there [...]

Hello again from the corner of my study, It seems most of my life, when not on campus, is spent here. I am in what I might call a pensive mood. I have so much on my plate at the moment that I feel like I am just trying to dog paddle in 15 foot water. [...]

Hello from the corner of my study; I am feeling like the infamous tag waggin’ the dog. I cannot figure out how to get off the merry-go-round, but more frustrating is that it is not necessarily something that can be figured out. It is the way it is. From a legislature, which demonstrates regularly that they [...]

Hello from Door County, Yesterday as I was driving across Wisconsin, as is often the case when I drive, I think, ponder, reflect and remember. Sometimes without any music in my car, and sometimes it is the music that causes me to remember. A Joe Walsh tune sparked my memory yesterday of probably my best friend [...]

Hello from the corner of my study, It is only the first couple days of classes and already the amount of "snafus" which have occurred, and unfortunately seem to be a constant first week of the semester companion have come again!! The one thing I could imagine as being worse at this point would have to [...]

Good evening (it’s actually pretty late) from cold and snowy Wisconsin, I am sitting on the couch in my living room and have been working on stuff for the second semester the last few days. It always seems there is so much to do. I am always amused by those who say they should teach because [...]

Good Christmas morning from Iowa, I am at my niece’s house in West Branch, Iowa. I had originally intended to be here on Sunday, but weather changed those plans. So I drove on Monday and the weather was fine. When I got to Interstate 380 around Cedar Rapids, I was amazed by the number of [...]

 Hello from the desk in my office at school, I have one more final to give and a large quantity of grading still staring me in the face. It is one of the necessary evils. I hate grading, not the looking at the papers and working through them, but assigning some sort of value to them. [...]

Good evening from my office, It was a busy day, but I am grateful for all that was accomplished. Most of the weekend was spent grading and doing school work, which is a necessity at this point in the semester. Last night late, I was looking at some news and read that Dan Fogelberg, the vocalist of [...]

Hello from my Living Room, The semester, at least the regular class portion of it, has completed. It has been a long semester, and if you have been reading, beginning with the crash of the Harley. However, the semester ended up busy because of the extra responsibilities and being on committees and other meetings. They seem [...]

Hello and A Happy Beginning of the Holiday Season, I am reminded of the beginning song from the movie version of the Broadway musical, Rent. Five-hundred-thirty-five-thousand-six-hundred-minutes! As we head into the holidays, we often take the time to reflect on the previous year and what has occurred in our lives. "How do [we] measure a year [...]

Good Morning from my office at Stout, I am waiting for some students to arrive for their appointments during office hours. It is the last day to drop classes without a failing grade and so some of the students have chosen (probably wisely so) to bail. The weather is definitely late fall like and the wind [...]

Good Afternoon at the end of October, It is the second to last day of October and it was almost 70. It is amazing to have such a day this late in the year. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be what the temperature wsa this morning. I really do like the seasons and having the [...]

Hello from Wisconsin, It is a beautiful fall afternoon as I write this. I have done a number of things for the weekend including driving, studying, shopping, writing, and relaxing. I am continually amazed at how fast life seems to move through and beyond us. I remember my grandmother and my father saying how things would go [...]

Good afternoon from the Pawn (a little food place on UW-Stout’s campus) What constitutes predictable? That is my thing over which I must spend sometime musing today. I began the semester more prepared that I had ever been. However, as you know, within 72 hours I managed to have pretty serious motorcycle accident. Life since then [...]

Hello, I do apologize that it has been some time since I posted. The cycke accident has had some long-term consequences. I was not able to do much on the computer for a couple weeks and then I was buried and I am still digging my way out. My students have been quite understanding and I [...]

Hello, Two weeks ago right now I was lying in the Emergency Room in Bloomer, WI’s little hospital. Since then, there has been a remarkable healing process that has occurred throughout my body. When I was transferred from Bloomer to Eau Claire that evening, it was thought that I would need facial surgery. As you can see from [...]
