    Dave,

    Wow! What a relaxing job to have. Must be like lying back in a fishing boat listening to a good Joplin tape,feels like I was there. Maybe I was?! Interestingly enough I am a gardener at The Paine Art Center in Oshkosh Wisconsin. Check out our website. Let me know what you think.

About this blog

    Metro Columnist Dan Casey knows a little bit about a lot of things but not a heck of a lot about most things. That doesn't keep him from writing about them, however. So keep him honest!

    He welcomes your rants, raves and considered opinions, so long as the language is civil (i.e. no four-letter words). He'll read all your posts and may or may not respond.
