Discovery World Cheeseheads Style

We had a lot of fun doing a screening at Discovery World in Milwaukee thanks to CEO Joel Brennan, who hosted the Les Paul scene in the documentary.  It was one of those sort of events where the weather was just perfect, the setting was just right, and a good deal of friends showed up … Continue reading

Fearless Flying Flags

Took these while traveling around the state.  The really big one at top is from Sheboygan.  The ones beautifully lit by the sun were outside the Kwik Trip headquarters in La Crosse. Beautiful and peaceful, yet fearless flying flags.  And the only one that is flying forward (dead center) is outside the Harley-Davidson museum in … Continue reading

Milwaukee Public Market Fun

West Allis Cheese at the Milwaukee Public Market (and in West Allis) are now carrying the DVD and we stopped by to have a little fun hanging out.  MPM is an awesome place to go anyhow, and with cheese involved, it’s just heavenly. * * *

Trinity Lutheran Church MKE

Trinity Lutheran Church Milwaukee.  What a beautiful building.  Enough said. * * * * * *

Tripoli Shriners Building In MKE

Stradivarius Stolen In Milwaukee

Okay, not something to be proud of.  Hope they catch who did it.  But it is a bit humorous that the thief was decent enough to use a stun gun and not a hand gun with bullets. Theft of Stradivarius violin was for money, not possession, experts say. via Theft of Stradivarius violin was for … Continue reading

The Tripoli Shrine Center In Milwaukee

I took these shots on a snowy, gloomy day, so they don’t even come close to the dazzling nature of the Tripoli Shrine Center in Milwaukee.  Didn’t get a chance to go inside, which I hear is even more astounding, but will get around to that next time in Milwaukee. From the Tripoli Shrine Center … Continue reading

Does That Make It His Eleventy-Squaredth Birthday? (Humor)

Since Wisconsin does have an intimate and direct connection with Tolkien, Lord Of The Rings, and The Hobbit, that being the original manuscripts are permenantly archived at Marquette University, it only seems fitting to re-post this rather humorous  page from a fellow Cheesehead who’s site is well worth checking out for his sense of humor … Continue reading
