She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!

I am an Ultra-Conservative, Alpha-Male, True Authentic Leader, Type "C" Personality, who is very active in my community; whether it is donating time, clothes or money for Project Concern or going to Common Council meetings and voicing my opinions. As a blogger, I intend to provide a different viewpoint "The way I see it!" on various world, national and local issues with a few helpful tips & tidbits sprinkled in.

So Here's the Deal...

I am a 34-year-old father of a 4-year-old. I moved to Cudahy about seven years ago from Virginia where the days of southern hospitality and waving to your neighbors are not just something you hear about, it’s something you live.

I believe that a man’s word is the most important thing that you can have in your life, and that people should know you for keeping it. I am a very dedicated middle-of-the-road kind of person, I have very passionate feelings about both liberal and conservative points of view.

I believe what I believe and there is no Republican or Democrat label that fits me. That being said, I absolutely reserve the right to change my mind should I hear someone bring up a point of view that I had not thought of.

Pam is a lifelong resident of Glendale. Okay, except for the seven years spent living in Madison, Wisconsin, and Lansing, Michigan, while she was in school. This baby boomer who is nostalgic about the past is an attorney with a title insurance company in West Allis. Besides being a working mom, wife, and leader of her daughter’s Brownie troop, Pam loves the theater, is an avid traveler, Disney fanatic (except for Pinocchio – don’t ask), and award winning cook.

Her dog, Daisy, also wants to say, “My mom is a good dog walker. She has a great shoe collection but she doesn’t like it when I chew on them.”
