Hiking with a group can be a tricky proposition, especially when the group is composed of young folks, older folks, folks carrying backpacks and folks stopping to take pictures along the way. Not everyone in the group will have the same pace on the trail, and that can be disconcerting to some at … [Read more...]

Baskin Creek Falls: Rock Bottom Recovery
When you are at the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. Rock bottom is a term frequently associated with addiction and recovery.

Why you should believe more than you trust
Trust is a tricky word. Like it or not, the world is made up of shades of gray; not black and white.

Take nothing for granted
Last week, I learned a relatively new friend had passed away in a tragic accident. I met Ken about eight months ago, and had seen him at least half a dozen times at various Audi Club of Wisconsin events. Ken took the lead roll as a driving instructor for our club and I learned a lot from him about … [Read more...]
