Holleb Acres

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

We spent the night at Holleb Acres on Saturday night.  It is a unique family vacation compound with over 8 households on it.  The Holleb family was homesteaders at this Lake Michigan bluff.  It is always tough to get a kid from Boulder to represent where they are really from.  There are plenty of Boulder […]

Wisconsin - Round 2

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

I tried my hardest to have an excuse to leave this city for a jaunt to anywhere on this fine three day weekend. The best that could be done was a short drive to LaGange, Wisconsin. There, the Yeti got its first relatively intense rides of the year. Myself and D. DeDeo, […]

Kettle Moraine: Rained Out

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Katherine turns 30

Monday, May 5th, 2008

My sister turned thirty last week. She did it in the fountain of youth, Park City. Her day was a powder day at Snowbird. It received 12′ of snow the night before and we were able to rent some fat skis for both Dad and Katherine. It was both of their […]

First Cubs Game

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

The first game of the season had similar weather to what it is like in the Chicago fall. At a certain point during the game, I could see my breath. It was cold. To celebrate Mr. Schirmang’s 28th birthday we held Old Style beer for the entire tenure of the cubs victory […]
