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.

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.😜
