  • Reach out and touch someone

    … who might not otherwise vote Republican! (The Head Groundskeeper broke into two blogges what we posted Sunday because the original was too long. But we added some stuff so it’s still too long. We can do that, you know.) Seeing Tommy Thompson is always a treat. Remember the governor asking us on our first…

Long walks in the UW Arboretum seem to be helping. We’re eating solid food again and Blaska is allowed to be near sharp objects (but not CNN). We’re actually optimistic about Republican…
