Romo: "Came flying in!" Drink!

If you drank every time Tony Romo said the defenders were "Flying," you'd have to check into the Betty Ford Clinic.

Shocked this morning to discover the first flower on my late mom’s hibiscus tree in almost two years. I was just about to give up on the old shrub.

Dagger! #karma

Happy #NationalCatDay to Lily, our 15-year-old, diabetic, mouse munching, beer swilling best bud.

I'll be signing copies of my Ice Age Trail novel, The Freakin' Destination, at the annual Central Wisconsin Book Festival's Local Author Fair this Saturday, 9/27, 8:00-9:30 a.m. at the Portage County Public Library, downtown Stevens Point. If you're heading to farmers market, stop by & say hi!

October means #MammothHikeChallenge on the #iceagetrail. Hike 45 miles, visit 3 trail towns, discover the Badger State. Or, just read about it in my novel, The Freakin' Destination. But for safety's sake, don't do both at the same time like this knucklehead below. Visit thebumblepoint.com for more.

Fellow Cheeseheads! Stop on over to Point Beach State Forest near Two Rivers, WI, on Saturday, September 6 for Authorfestaramapalooza! I'll be among several terrific authors there, chatting about this spectacular land of wonder, and signing copies of my Ice Age Trail novel, The Freakin' Destination.

Having our roof redone all day today. (Tomorrow too.) Sounds like London during the Blitz. The cat is freaked, I have a headache. Ahh, for the good old days - last week - depicted below.

I had the pleasure chatting with Agnes and Jeremy yesterday on WJFW-TV's Up North at 4 about Wisconsin's Ice Age National Scenic Trail, and the novel it inspired me to write. I appreciate them having me on! www.wjfw.com/the-freakin-...

If you had to pick the one song you've heard more than any other, what would it be? Mine? "More Than a Feeling." Which is sad, because it's pretty middling.

I'm heading up to the Home of the Hodag this Tuesday, 7/29 to chat live with Up North at 4 about Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail, and the novel it inspired me to write. Tune in to Rhinelander's WJFW Channel 12 at 4:00 p.m. CDT. Hoping it goes more smoothly than my last trip up there, pictured below!

A young bicyclist just passed my house on my quiet small-town Midwestern street blaring "Heaven Or Las Vegas" by the Cocteau Twins on her bike. Officially made my day.

Burning the brush pile for the first time in 2025. Finally not raining. Libation: O’so Hop Dinger IPA On iTunes: Talking Heads-This Must Be The Place Book: Death on Cache Lake by Dan Woll Mosquitos: nonexistent right now Skies: storm brewing? Mood: c’est si bon

I hope to see lots of you at Stevens Point’s Riverfront Rendezvous Market this Friday, July 4. I’ll be signing copies of my novel, The Freakin’ Destination, and offering survival tips for hiking the Ice Age Trail. Including which country taverns to visit, and to avoid, on the CRs.

On this day in 1944, my Uncle Willie Bie (shown here) landed on a beach in Normandy to help defeat the Nazis. Here's to his memory, and to those he served with who didn't make it back home.

Why hike the Ice Age Trail this holiday weekend when you can sit in your chaise longue and read The Freakin' Destination, my novel about it? (Better yet, do both!) thebumblepoint.com/bumbleblog/f...

Hoping he decrees that “Hey Hey Holy Mackerel” be sung at Mass!

Pete Hegseth just texted me his Piggly Wiggly Super-Swiner Rewards Club PIN number. Shopping spree, dude!

Stevens Point, Wisconsin right now. #HandsOff

I am psyched about next week's Ice Age Trail Annual Conference, where I will be giving a talk about my hiking novel, The Freakin' Destination, on Friday. If you're in Wisconsin for the conference, I'd love to have you stop by. Beach casual attire is suggested.😜

Would it kill them to show someone playing a musical instrument?

These have arrived! - the finished, hardback copies of a little book I've written about the joyfully unpredictable experience of producing Father Ted. Publication is Feb 20th but I'd like to give away two copies early - RT by Saturday 6pm and my dog Watson will pick the winners.

Four-mile run in central Wisconsin in January in… shorts! Record-breaking 50F temperature. Aloha!

Tough but enjoyable ski today on the Razorback Ridges Trails near Sayner, WI, just up the road from St. Germain. Took a wrong turn onto the aptly-named Long Rider loop, turning a 6-mile workout into 11 miles. Birkie fever is feeling more like Birkie flu tonight!

I've only lurked on Twitter lately. No interacting. There are still accounts on that platform posting timely & interesting stuff. Today Leon Musk made the decision easy for me. I just deleted my account & it feels great. Can recommend doing so for anyone still on the fence.

Got 'em all! #RunChatHunt item 12 of 12 for Boxing Day: Strange Mail Box. Thanks for organizing a fun hunt this year - it encouraged me to finally lace 'em up again and get out there.

#RunChatHunt item 11 of 12: Menorah. Happy first day of Hanukkah, everyone!

#RunChatHunt item 10 of 12: Shiny Object. Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer is said to have a “very shiny nose.” Can’t confirm, personally.

#RunChatHunt item 9 of 12: Bridge. Like a pier, but, you know... finished. Props to Stephen Dedalus.

#RunChatHunt item 8 of 12: Moon. A constant fixture in our shared experience, unchanged from the time of Shakespeare, Aeschylus, even Fred Flintstone.

#RunChatHunt item 7 of 12: Man, check out this Grinch - stealing a string of lights off a neighbor's house. What a jerk!
