If rocks could smell fear, I’d be in trouble. I was never one blessed with agility, balance or sense of adventure. Yet, I always seem to find myself at river intersections that involve rushing water, a series of unstable rocks unreasonably spaced out before me and at least one expensive piece of camera gear around…… Continue reading Bayfield County Staycation

Race Day Recap
Race number 10 is in the books. For some, 10 races is a typical summer. For me, it was a number I never thought in a million years I’d hit. I mean, seriously, me? Finish 10 races… 7 of which were half-marathons? Seems absurd. My tenth race was a repeat of Journey’s in Eagle River,…… Continue reading Race Day Recap
The Probst Funny Farm has Expanded!
The Probst Family Farm got a little bigger this past week with the leasing of chickens. We borrowed four beautiful Columbian Hens from my friend Clare of Elsewhere Farm in Herbster. In theory, we dropped a small fortune on a coop for these lovely ladies for Jake so he could learn more about the responsibilities…… Continue reading The Probst Funny Farm has Expanded!
Ignoring the Signs
Signs often give direction, suggestions, information needed to get from point a to point b. In my case, the signs I encountered on my way to the sheet of ice I was about to attempt to ascend at the Michigan Ice Festival in Munising said run the other way. It started with my travel buddy…… Continue reading Ignoring the Signs
Training Update: What am I thinking?
https://youtu.be/-J7Xqa4Y2oE Confused? The idea for my first VLOG came about due to an upcoming assignment. Next week I’m heading out to the Michigan Ice Fest in Munising. I’m going ice climbing. And no, that’s not a typo. This should be relatively amusing, in part because I’m not a huge fan of cold and I’m afraid…… Continue reading Training Update: What am I thinking?
Early Morning Resolution
Happy New Year! How are those resolutions treating you? I’d just like to go on record right now saying mine are slowly killing my will to live. Fourteen days ago, I started on a quest to factor me-time into everyday of my life to focus on wellness. My solution—wake up by 5:30 am everyday so…… Continue reading Early Morning Resolution
2015: You Were Sort of an A$$hole
I must admit, when midnight strikes I’ll have no problem saying good-bye to 2015. Looking back, I watched it deal out a lot of heartache and pain. At times it was cruel, callous and calculated on harming those I care about. It served up individual setbacks that on the surface seemed minor, but when combined,…… Continue reading 2015: You Were Sort of an A$$hole
How Pepe Is Teaching Me A Thing Or Two About Gratitude
Life on Moon Lake tends to embrace the best of rural living and access to city services. My house is heated with natural gas. I can walk to the library, grocery store, pizza place, elementary school and even a winery on a nice Wisconsin day. But, I can enjoy the tranquility of living on a…… Continue reading How Pepe Is Teaching Me A Thing Or Two About Gratitude
Running Towards My Dream
At lunch yesterday, a couple of curious friends casually hinted that I hadn’t posted about the coffee shop lately. I’ve been hesitant to doing so because I’ve found when I put things on this site, they tend to happen. Or in this case, don’t happen. That’s right. The coffee shop is on hold. I could…… Continue reading Running Towards My Dream
Iron River Coffee Anyone?
So a crazy thing happened today that I feel I need to share in hopes to help me pursue my dreams. If you know me at all, you know I’m a coffee addict. You also know that I absolutely love living on Moon Lake. But, for those close to me, you also know that Iron…… Continue reading Iron River Coffee Anyone?
