Dude I love Wisconsin. The wife's ancestral homeland is Marshfield. Couple years back we did Walk Wisconsin, which I didn't do as far as I could because my foot was broken. It's funny. I never get shin splints but that's twice that jogging in stupid shoes has broken a fuckin' metatarsal. Neither time happened in Wisconsin.
Small world. My ancestral home is also Marshfield, and I grew up about 30 minutes away in an even smaller town. One or two cousins are still in Marshfield. Growing up, Marshfield was the closest movie theater. There are probably dusty CDs at home that I bought at the Sam Goody in the Marshfield mall for $17.99.
Wisconsin is an absolutely beautiful state filled with some amazingly nice people. Cost of living there is probably relatively cheap and there's so much to do, both outdoors and in. I'd love to live there and the wife probably feels the same.
