In a eulogy, you cannot tell the whole story of someone’s life. You’ve only got time for a few moments that… I’m not going to say a few moments that “mattered,” but rather ones that were emblematic. The stories that show who that person was. I never met Bob Uecker. I’d only seen him in person when I’d peek up into the press box at County Stadium or Miller Park/American Family Field. To me and to most of us, he was a broadcaster. The greatest, best entertainer for our Brewers.

At 3:58 a.m., Nathan Marzion tweeted a meme. In it, his parents are depicted at age 24 agreeing to get married and have a baby, paralleled with himself at the same age waking up before 4 a.m. to watch Giannis’ Greek National Team lose in the Olympic quarterfinals in Paris.

Perhaps the worst day of RN Lindsey Roddy’s nursing career came seven years ago when a Milwaukee patient’s life support line started to pull out of his neck when it snagged on some bedside equipment, causing him to go quicky downhill.

Keenan Wilturner is in a bad mood, shivering at a bus stop, cursing under his frosted breath. A few months ago, the 41-year-old father of two had two working vehicles. Then, his car and van crapped out in quick succession. Commuting on the bus – actually, taking two buses, both ways – takes an hour longer than driving direct from his North Side home to his job in Menomonee Falls. Paying for a rideshare like Uber or Lyft every day is too costly as he saves up for a new car.

The Bull at Pinehurst Farms tells a good story. This public golf course in Sheboygan County is aesthetically pleasing, but even more narratively satisfying. There should be no surprise it was designed by one of the game’s greats, Jack Nicklaus, the only course with his signature in the state. Through 418 acres of a former dairy farm along a slow-flowing tributary of the Sheboygan River, good design and impeccable landscaping take Wisconsin’s casual and amateur golfers on a mythic 18-hole journey.
