Once a month, I meet with a group of like minded people. You’ll recognize our table. It’s covered in sketchbooks, pencils, pens, kneaded erasers, pints, and pitchers of beer. It’s called the Drink and Draw Social Club, and it’s cheaper than therapy. Cartoonists and illustrators practice an often solitary craft, long, lonely hours at the drawing board.

Michael Zeidler
Michael Zeidler is not your average 64-year-old. He starts everyday at 5 a.m. with a 6 mile run and finishes by a quarter of (that’s a 7.5 minute per mile pace). This fact alone puts Michael far above the norm for a sexagenarian. Might as well mention that he’s won Gold at the Badger State Games 8 times and took 5th in a National competition in Illinois recently.
Disposing of Your Old Computer
Q: I am getting a new computer for the new school year. Is it OK to throw away my old computer and other computer accessories?
A: Absolutely not. Computers, computer accessories, and other electronics have loads of heavy metals, gases and other toxic substances including arsenic, barium and mercury that should be reclaimed by an authorized computer recycler and kept out of landfills. Older computer monitors and televisions are particularly harmful to our environment because of the lead they contain.
