Grew up in a household with family dealing with debilitating asthma… so we where happy to learn that folks are making progress the New York Times did a piece this fall about how a crew from @propellerhealth comes to camp each year to work on a solution. “Each year, we return to Camp Wandawega to recommit ourselves – to solve problems for people with respiratory disease and for those who care for them. -David Van Sickle, CEO, Propeller. This past year, the 70 team members came to build & launch a free service to the public Air by Propeller MADISON, Wis., 2017 /PRNewswire/ Propeller Health released the first ever (API) to provide local asthma conditions to anyone in the US who would like to share this insight with their audiences. Propeller has trained a machine-learning model on millions of days of anonymized data, including where and when people experience asthma symptoms and the environmental conditions at these times, to predict potential effects on people’s breathing. With the launch of Air, Propeller now enables other individuals and organizations to use its local asthma condition calculations to improve the health of people with chronic respiratory disease. story on today’s profile line & New York Times

Work in progress on reverting the lodge back to the bar that was here from 1925-1961 (up until when the catholic church converted it to the priests quarters) We scored a 1930s dry bar cheap & managed to save the original restaurant tables & chairs. / next is to gut all the cabinets & display cases to convert to a guest mini honor system. This little space will seat only seat 20 – but we are looking forward to sharing it (no liquor license so all we can do it give it away to guests & friends :)

snow is here : loved SUPPORTING THE ARTS & reconnecting with old friends Last night at @Moncler,Where we co-hosted an event to benefit The Renaissance Society.We appreciate a heritage brand rooted in making real gear for a real purpose (geeked in how theyve evolved their look through the decades) Originally founded in 1952, making sporting gear for mountaineering. As we begin to outfit the new bar and lodge- found so much inspiration in the range of their fur- clad interiors. (Weve been collecting the vintage versions of their new hiking boots for years-but ours are lacking this rad wood inlay in the sole)

*TMI ALERT* Heres to all you dog lovers who will get this. He smells like sometimes. Rolls in dead things at camp and then tries to jump in our bed. He is a lousy fetcher. Cant catch a frisbee to save his life. A bacon stealer. Shedder. Bad breath and worse table manners. But he also sits by the front door when David is out of town to guard house & home.Hes been feircely protective of Charlie since before she was born (sorry not sorry for belly shot).He is our second kid. And his doc says he’s getting old. Eyesight is going. And hes slowing down now. We cant teach old dogs new tricks, but we’re more than ok with his old ones. And happy to have had him with us for almost 9 years so far (he was 2-4 when we rescued him). He’ll continue to slow now, and we hope to get to spend a couple more years with him. (I promised you Frankie to spoon feed you bacon bits by the lakeside in your last days.) #DogLove Story on how he became the @purinaone Wisconsin Dog for @thiswildiea: WHY WE RESCUE 50 States. 50 stories. 50 dogs on todays profile line.
