    2024 Iowa's Best Burger announced

    I’ve been to JJ’s 4 times in the 5 months they’ve been open. On our first visit, the owners came up to us just to check and converse. I did have a burger the first time and it was awesome. But they have much more than just their burgers. I would classify it as an upscale bar and grill. It’s...

    Bird Migration

    Our son lives in Columbia, MO. We visited a month ago and loved seeing different birds there than here (central Iowa). He told me about the Merlin app and I love it.

    Recommended Contractor(s)- Des Moines

    I’ll second Roof Iowa. They replaced our roof and gutters after the derecho and were great to work with.

    New Orleans

    Someone else mentioned Commander’s Palace in the Garden District. Ate there while attending a conference last year. It was an all-time top 5 dining experience for us. Great food and service. Reservation (a ways out) are normally required. Any other advice I have has been covered in other posts.

    Washington DC Family Vaca

    Consider getting a VRBO/Airbnb instead of a hotel. You can likely get one for considerably less than a hotel.

    BEYOND AMAZING: That's how TJ Otzelberger describes former Tyrese Haliburton's meteoric rise in the NBA

    I went to the Pacers/Bucks game in Milwaukee tonight. Tyrese was excellent but, uncharacteristically , had a couple early turnovers. I sat 6 rows behind the Pacers bench and their tunnel. Giannis had a career night (even for him). He set the franchise record for points with 64. After the...
