The Wisconsin Pizza Factory

by Kevin Rector on January 29th, 2008 • 15 Comments »

Synopsis: Horrible food, very new and clean, attentive staff, bland decor, rather expensive for what you’re getting. Overall my kids love it but it could be so much better, and more enjoyable for adults. If you don’t have kids don’t even bother going; you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Commission for a Greener Tomorrow

I went last night [on Monday] and sat in on the steering team meeting for the Commission for a Greener Tomorrow. This is a citizen led group that is focused on promoting sustainable living in central Wisconsin.

Giving Back

You may be wondering, “who is this Kevin” and other such thoughts, so I guess I’ll tell you even if it does ruin the sort of mystery that life tends to thrive on. I’m a resident of Wausau (which I sometimes like to call waubitysaubity for no real reason). I have lived here for just about two years and absolutely love this town. I pastor a small church as well as doing a very tiny bit of contract computer programming. My contributions will primarily focus on issues of faith and social justice, but I might also talk about fishing or the weather or really anything else that I decide I just need to talk about.

One of the things that make life good, and enriches our soul is to do good things for other people. Just think about how much your heart goes “pitter-patter” with joy each time a loved one opens a gift from you. So in the interest of making life good I wanted to bring your attention to two fabulous opportunities to actually make a difference to the lives of actual living people here in Wausau. Your heart might even pitter a little patter.
