It’s the game of the century, at least as far as two Midwest states are concerned. The oldest rivalry in NFL history will reach a new level this weekend when the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers face off in the NFC Championship Game. And I confess—I can barely contain my excitement.
Anyone who knows me could tell you that I’m a diehard Packers fan. You get me involved with a Packers game and everything else fades away. I love the teamwork and camaraderie, the skill, the passion and energy of both the team and the fans! And of course I like to win! But I especially am intrigued by the strategy. Teamwork, passion and energy are all very important, but without the important component of strategy, they’re basically useless.

Being Open For Business = Thriving Families
Happy New Year! This week’s radio commentary is about Governor Walker’s promise that Wisconsin is open for business, and what that means for Wisconsin’s most important resource–her families.
Wisconsin opened this week under a new slogan – “Wisconsin is open for business.” We’re open for business that will create jobs for a workforce that is in desperate need of jobs, for families that are in desperate need of a steady income. From the point of view of stressed families whose dreams for the future have been short-circuited, open for business means open for families to thrive.
Wisconsin has a rich tradition of family – family farms, family businesses, family traditions and legacies of good education, hard work and lasting values. Open for business is a promise of hope for families that are struggling to put food on the table, save for their children’s education, pay the bills and keep their family together.
