Milwaukee skyline, spotlighted by sunshine
I was visiting someone at Froedtert Hospital last week, a week ago today, actually, and had to park on the very top of the parking structure. Like, the very farthest corner away from the buildings on...

Graceful Grasses
These slender, feathery grasses are part of the landscaping at Milwaukee School of Engineering, where I teach. I walk past these plants several times a week, but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed them...
