I have the seemingly rare good fortune to live the life I truly wish to live. This is largely true across both the personal and professional arenas. Some days really exemplify such wonder via environmental events. Shortly before the first of the new year, my wife and I returned to Schlitz Audobon Nature Center in the northern suburbs of Milwaukee to hike one of my old haunts from the days when I lived on the East Side. Although it was deep into December, the thermometer had reached nearly 50F. What resulted was a beautiful and slightly surrealistic hike.
