When I am not at work making sure all the bendy parts bend the way they should, I am traveling to places like Door County. Enjoying a brewski on the patio in the Summer is the ultimate, but once Fall rolls around, it’s time for the Lambeau Leap. Then my travels are focused on Green Bay, but nevertheless, I get around Lake Michigan enough to write cool articles about it. Ever see a penguin in the summer?
