wisconsin: Well Darn It, If I Have to Wear Socks...Then They Are Going to Be Fun!

An interesting thing happened (at least to me) on our company's tour of homes yesterday. A co-Realtor made mention of my socks. Her actual comment was something to the effect of..."I see you wear fun socks too!" She continued to say, "I finally started wearing my fun socks again after two years." Initially, I didn't think anything of it...but, this morning, this comment still was in the forefront of of my mind. Something as simple as my socks. Most would probably think nothing of a comment like that. Just general chitchat while looking at homes. However, as I sit back (6 comments)

wisconsin: When in Rome...Bowl!

I discovered not that long ago, a little gem of a restaurant/bar/bowling alley in what could be perceived as the "middle of nowhere" in Wisconsin. Rome (in Jefferson County) is about 45 minutes SE of Madison or about 30 minutes or less from where I live in Oconomowoc. Population is listed as about 574 people.
