My Adventures in Wisconsin

I was in Wisconsin for the weekend and gee was it fun!! I go to Wisconsin, and when I say "Wisconsin" I mean the north woods Wisconsin where there are like four houses and eighteen bars and a million people riding ATV's and then getting drunk and crashing into telephone poles . . . seriously, everytime we go up we'll ask where good ole Barney or good ole Sam or good ole Joe is and somebody will be like, "Oh, Barney died last winter when he ran his snowmobile into an angry black bear. Anyway, I go to Wisconsin to visit my Oma because she lives up there in the summer, because besides being full of beautiful woods and lakes, Wisconsin is also much cooler (temperature-wise) than Illinois and she likes that.

The weekend started off with the much anticipated eight hour drive, which culminated with "getting lost in the north woods at 3:00 in the morning" which, if you've ever done that before then you'll know, is a lot of fun. First of all, there is only one road in the north woods and it is a magic road because it takes you exactly where you do not want to go, several times!! Finally we got to Oma's, but because I drove most of the way I was in a dull stupor the next day and unable to experience things in reality including Pat's coffee, which is excellent. Then there was Sunday and that holy day of rest was mostly spent in keeping the peace between my Oma and my sister. As my sister isn't too worried about getting to church on time, and my Oma is, there was some friction and bitterness and I was busy trying to explain away rude remarks and listening to each of them complain about the other.

Well, the conclusion to "My Adventures in Wisconsin" will have to wait because I have to show Leslie something, but don't worry, next time will be . . . "Why We Used the Men's Bathroom at Lunkers." Can you stand the suspense!!?
