To infinity and beyond.
You know, it’s funny. I finally retire from April Fools pranks, and Mother Nature decides to play a great big joke on me. Remember how I decided to skip a trip to the Black Hills to avoid snow, and instead, booked a getaway to Door County here in Wisconsin? Just a few days ago, the
