I recently got to visit Heritage Hill State Historical Park in Green Bay. Through old buildings and professional storytellers, the park attempts to help people step back in time, learn about the past, and see the area for what it used to be.

Back in 2010, a computer decided that April 11, 1954, was “the most boring day since the dawn of the 20th Century”. That’s a pretty bold statement to make from something that wasn’t there at the time.

The reasoning was “very few significant newsworthy events, births, or deaths are known to have happened” on that day.

Fishing has been around forever. Ever since people got hungry and lived by water, they went fishing.

The Gospels talk about fishing a lot. It wasn’t the “rod and reel” style that we commonly associate with fishing today, nor was it the sportiness of expensive bass boats with competitions shown live on TV but people still went fishing.

Art has existed for a long time. Ever since someone put something on the wall of a cave, there has always been visual and creative expression. This evolved into other media such as pottery, paintings, tapestries, and other works.

My beloved and I recently watched a documentary on TV that, in part, described the emergence of the mall pretzel — the things I put her through.

Every day we try to do things our way. We set an alarm for when to wake up to have power over when we start our days. Sometimes the alarm doesn’t go off and we find that we have not made our own decision when to wake up.

Well, Happy Easter, everyone. There are a lot of things I could write about this week. I guess I can’t really ignore the top topic on the Catholic Church — Pope Francis has died and soon we will have a new pope.
