Last August, I visited the Elkhorn Antique Flea Market for the first time. I’ve always wanted to go so I planned for it. It opens at 7AM and I know you need to be an early bird to swoop in on the good stuff. I got there between 8-8:30 and there were cars and cars […]

I moved to Madison in the spring of 1994. I had six years of full time radio experience under my belt and I applied to every radio station I was interested in working at when I arrived. I remember the day Pat O’Neill called me for an interview. I remember the day Pat and I […]

I love to travel. I certainly wouldn’t call myself a seasoned expert but I have experienced the cultures of a handful of different countries from Honduras to France. I still have a few places on my “list of places to visit.” They include Kenya (to go on safari) Italy, Switzerland, Peru, Japan and of course […]
