You are looking at Lucille, the new and fabulous place to hang out in Madison! Pat Sweeny invited Gregg (my son) and I to take a look at the new digs. They have opened to raves, and it’s no surprise! Right where the Isthmus used offices to be, Lucille has added the coolest huge, sliding […]

Autumn is my absolute favorite season, but spring, for me, is a very close second. I remember the feeling of “spring fever.” It’s been a few years since I’ve experienced the phenomenon. But it’s a real and true thing that happens in March, April and May. The smell of the air, the sounds of the […]
