The Wild midWest

Some people backpack the globe to find themselves. I moved to Wisconsin.


Ask me anything  
Lots of sports fans believe there’s a special misery attached to their local teams. Next time you have that bar-room argument, set the bar at Cleveland. I dare you to go lower. Our legacy of futility is not only deep—decades without a major sports title—but also wide, encompassing all three of the city’s professional teams.

In the wake of that devastating Penguins game 7, at least we’re not Cleveland.

But seriously, for my home-away-from-home’s sake, I hope LeBron stays.
