No need to change because guys make mistakes
A reader writes: "It started in high school and I thought it would stay there, but now I'm in my early 20s and it doesn't seem to go away.

Amy Winehouse does me in. From the moment I heard "Back to Black," I found myself on a subsequent three-weekrepeat-fest of her most recent album by the same name. It was sort of a throwback to the great jazz and blues I'd heard before, and at the same time I'd never quite heard anything like it.

Road Trip: Take a book drive to state's indie shops
The one-hour drive to Spooner from Amery, in northwest Wisconsin, is circuitous and captivating. The route is not difficult -- U.S. 63 pretty much gets you there -- but the road twists from one surprise to another. Like what? We blew through Cumberland, home of the summertime Rutabaga Festival, a 75-year tradition. We passed Bella Curella, part of a century-old cheese factory near Comstock, and ...
