View online • Get this from a friend? Subscribe here! Happy Sunday, Reader! Greetings from Sheboygan, where we are getting excited about our Great Calendar Experiment. I wrote about it last week, but the gist is that this year, we are only taking orders for two weeks, starting on October 15. That's also the day you can get the best deal, as the price goes up a dollar a day until it reaches its normal price on October 30th. I also mentioned that every month has an open day to create your own...

Greetings from Sheboygan, where I recently had my first Pumpkin Pie Blizzard of the season, which is one of my favorite fall treats. Last weekend, we made our first visit to the Shalom Zoo, where we saw two baby cougars and fed apples to the bears. Oh, and before I forget... Happy birthday! Odds are, at least a few people reading this are celebrating a birthday today. So to...

Greetings from Sheboygan, where I had a Daddy-Daughter date night this week with Lucy, who is almost 18! I remember taking her to Culver's on some of our first dates, and now she works there! I don't know how many we have left, but I'll take as many as I can get. 🥲 Years ago, my wife shared a story about a guy named Steve who was attempting to grow the world's largest...

Greetings from Sheboygan, where we probably enjoyed our last beach day last week and are sneaking in as many "last" trips to our favorite ice cream place as we can. I love fall, but I'm not ready for summer to be over. The problem is, I'm not sure it is. I know kids are back in school, which is a convenient but not universal guidepost. But when exactly is the first day of...

Greetings from Sheboygan, where I recently stopped at a lemonade stand, because that's my rule. They also had freeze pops for sale, and I bought one because it had been years since I had one. As I was enjoying it, I was reminded of this painting, and thought it would be worth sharing the story behind it this week, because it's a reminder we all need to hear every so often....

Yesterday, August 8th, was Escape Adulthood Day. You won't find it on any calendar, unless it's a Celebrate Everything calendar (the 2027 edition is coming soon!) We invented it because the idea that you can't make up your own holidays is a rule that doesn't exist. It coincides with the launch of our...
