Yes, I've been terrible about blogging. Life (and my paying job) gets in the way, ya know? I am hoping to use my vacation time coming up to revamp this site and get it worthy of your eyeballs. Till then, check out my first byline at TheGuardian.com on Wisconsin's farmstead cheese movement.

Love for the Plague
Yes, I've been offline for some time — blame a hectic job, a move, getting my stuff out of storage, volunteering at animal control, getting back to the gym on a regular basis, adopting a cat and not having the interwebz at home. But I'm dashing off this post because I've just heard that Plaguewalker, …
A Day In The Big D
Driving back to Wisconsin after several days out East visiting my mom, I realized hey, I don't think I've ever been to Detroit. It's probably the only major American city I haven't seen. Well. Let's change that. Armed with suggestions from my Icepeep (and Detroit native) Brian as well as a few other friends, I …
Eating The Big Apple
Herein, dear reader, is a tale of obsession, fervor and a French man. But not obsession and fervor for a French man. Sorry, Jacques. It's also a post particularly for my many foodie friends. Most of my audience (both of you) know that, in addition to ending up in places like Antarctica and New Zealand …

Everyone Knows This really happened. Ghost tale …

So it was a nice surprise when fellow author Paul McComas invited me to take part in a …
The Most Important Thing I Did Today…
...was vote. Yes, today marked my television debut on TMJ4's The Morning Blend (live tv, no less...live morning tv, in fact), as well as the arrival of not one but two glowing reviews of Plaguewalker that made me turn Sin (the color of the blush they talked me into buying at Sephora. I now realize …
The Plague Continues To Spread…
...I love saying that, for all sorts of reasons. As I mentioned (promised? threatened?) yesterday, this is National International Intergalactic Plaguewalker week. Yesterday I had the honor of rambling about Marcus on Milwaukee Public Radio and today, online culturezine Third Coast Digest posted a Q&A with me. Thanks to Tom, Dan and Jennifer over at …
Can You Hear Me Now?
Today marks the start of the official Plaguewalker week (I know it's official because I wrote it down in my planner, right below "laundry.") Things kicked off with my very first radio interview ever* this morning on WUWM's (89.7 FM) Lake Effect. [Technically, I've been on radio twice before, during my years as pop music …
Catch up on the latest Plaguewalker updates and stay tuned for an exciting (well, I think so) Halloween treat!
