In addition to plenty of nature photos, I spent part of my birthday hike at Horicon Marsh practicing some posed photography with my wife as well. I had a little trouble with the varying sunlight but managed to get some that were useable. Here are some of those.

 My thoughts from the Green Bay Packers' 34-20 loss at home against the Detroit Lions last night. Dan Campbell deserves a lot of credit for turning the Lions around. The Lions had been a laughingstock for around three decades and Campbell has turned that around in the short time he has been coach. He is energetic and aggressive, something that rubs off on his players and it feels like this team will be a contender for a while as a result. Then there's Matt LaFleur.  Look, I usually try not to place the blame for a loss squarely on the coaching.

Yes, I know, in every happy marriage, Communication is supposed to be key. But the people who say that Obviously haven't met the stubborn woman who married me.

My anger will pass. If nothing else, I'll just add a little extra  muster, The next time I give her a playful slap on the ass. We've been married a long time and I expect to be married a long time more. I'm not saying there aren't times when I need to say something that would be in
