Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper and Phyllis, noting the recent Sturgeon Moon machinations, thank the keeper’s grandson Andy for sending along a photo by “Lindsey’s cousin” of the moon’s performance over the Mazomanie house the keeper and his family members built 25 years ago and where Andy and Ari and their three kids now live the good life and host family get-togethers.
The house on the hill was built in 2001 as an exercise in grief recovery, survived some of the keeper’s misguided personal antics and came to be an inspiring location as the keeper and Phyllis proved that there is no age limit on the profound benefits of love.
When it became obvious that maintenance issues were beyond the keeper’s aging capacities, the house on the hill was passed off to family members through son Rick’s foresight and ended up as the place where Andy and Ari’s family would live their love-nest lives.
The Sturgeon Moon knows a good thing when it sees it and even did a showy eclipse in a swing past Madison’s Vista West where the keeper and Phyllis gave it a welcome wave.
