The coolness in the air, the feel of dried leaves curled beneath your toes, and the fog of breath dancing on the tip of your nose as you exhale can only mean one thing: muskie fishing. Surprised? Me, too. Just a few years ago, I probably would have answered with, “Pumpkin Spice Lattes!” But in […]
Read MoreWith a name like Girl Wonder, you might expect me to have superpowers. Sure, I’m pretty good at pulling events together, negotiating with vendors, and planning. But sometimes, I have to engage another special power – saying “no.” Does this two-letter word make me a villain? As a boss, manager, or coworker, does it make […]
Read MoreYesterday was Captain Reman’s birthday. Between wishing him well and thinking about cake (because, let’s be honest, cake makes even an already great day better), I found myself thinking about Reman U.
