2025 Issue #15 βοΈ Happy Sunday, Reader! Greetings from Sheboygan, where we have heard rumors about the start of spring but remain skeptical. Candyland is the worst game ever. It's generous to even call it a game, for there is no strategy involved. I still cringe thinking about the times my kids begged to play it.

He didnβt want to show his mom but knew sheβd have to sign it before he returned it to his teacher. So he had the bright idea of placing gold foil stars over the offending grades, explaining they were a new sign of...

2025 Issue #12 π½οΈ Happy Sunday, Reader! Greetings from Sheboygan, where we are closely monitoring the hijinks happening in the Festival of Shenanigans. We can confirm that Adultitis is getting its butt kicked. The gauntlet had been thrown down. What choice did I have? We were on a road trip...somewhere. The details don't matter, but I'm pretty sure we were rolling up to Dairy Queen for some Blizzards. Someone in my family, probably my wife, challenged me to request extra "nipkins" at the...

2025 Issue #11 π Happy Sunday, Reader! Greetings from Sheboygan, where we are so curious to find out who will earn the title of "Grand Shenanigator" and win a year's worth of ice cream in the Festival of Shenanigans that kicks off tomorrow. (You're already registered, right?) Now, let's start with something controversial... Teaching is overrated. Oh, did that get your attention? Good. Now let me tell you what I mean. As parents who homeschool, Kim and I have thought a lot about our role as...
