Fierce kindness, not Midwest nice

You've got the spark. I've got the matches.

I'm Aaron, a Milwaukee travel advisor. I plan the trip and book the hotel, or I'm a real person to dump on by video. You leave with next steps in writing.

This week

Sunday Briefs · Issue 1 · Sunday, Oct 18

Holy f*ck, what a week.

Milwaukee is going to the World Series, so I wrote you a guide. I'm walking every Wisconsin state park, A to Z, starting at Amnicon Falls. And I put a lot more of me on the internet. Two minutes, tops.

The Furnace Almanac · Week of Oct 18

This week, by the Furnace.

The Sky
Mercury goes retrograde Saturday, Oct 24, and stays that way until Nov 13. Reread before you send. Do not text your ex.
The Forecast
Friday, Game 1: loud, hopeful, and slightly sticky. Wear layers and bring a friend who knows the bathroom situation.
The Lucky Move
Text one person you've been meaning to text for a month. Nothing fancy. Just "hey, I thought of you."
The Card · The Extra Hour
The clocks fall back Sunday, Nov 1. You get an hour. Spend it on purpose, or don't.

Just the tip. Name the spiral, then do one physical thing. Say the worst case out loud, then shower, mailbox, text one person. The spiral runs on thinking. Your hands can interrupt it.
