When I was in college, my buddies and I played a ton of ‘Madden’ football on our Sega Genesis while downing Mountain Dew and family-sized bags of Cool Ranch Doritos. The soda and chips, both produced by PepsiCo, were staples in our college house. Thanks to the Federal Trade Commission, we may now have to […]
My pharmacy is great. If I have a prescription that’s about to run out, they’ll reach out to my doctor for a refill. Then, they let me know when the prescription is ready to pick up. Apparently, some pharmacies make it too easy to refill prescriptions, particularly for opioids. At the end of 2024, the […]
Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs failed in their attempt to be the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. Our beloved Packers have won three straight championships twice – from 1929-1931 and from 1965-1967, but only the last two victories were in the Super Bowl era. Winning three consecutive championships is pretty […]
Later on today, the Kansas City Chiefs will be squaring off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59.

The documentary features interviews with some of Leviev’s victims, who were defrauded of an estimated […]
This past spring, my niece graduated from UW Law School. She had a hooding ceremony for the law school on Friday followed by the service for all the grads at Camp Randall on Saturday. Despite having about 10,000 hotel rooms in Madison, there were only about three left when I booked one online. While I […]
About a month ago, I watched ‘Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F’ on Netflix. Eddie Murphy reprised the title role in the fourth installment of the franchise, and John Ashton and Judge Reinhold returned as Taggert and Rosewood. Even Paul Reiser came back to play Jeffrey and Bronson Pinchot as the sassy Serge. The film was […]
Last year, the movie ‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey’ was released in theaters. It was a live-action horror film that put a sinister twist on the beloved Disney character. In the film, Christopher Robin has grown up, gone off to college and met a girl. Feeling abandoned, Pooh and Piglet go on a bloody […]
