A newspaper reporter early in my life, and a freelance writer ever since, I live in Wisconsin where daily life for a news-&-politics junkie is never dull. Life in Wisconsin is also never far away from abundant examples of the priceless natural resources central to every American’s heritage. I like it here and I like talking about what I find here, as well as when I travel – virtually, as well as in the real world.
