Is There Anything Like a Midwest Sunset? I’m probably pretty biased. I’ve always been partial to sunsets, especially a summer sunset over Clear Lake.

One of the greatest lessons my mom ever taught me was to take every opportunity you can and never be afraid to meet new people. You never know where a simple conversation might lead.
