This weekend is the kickoff of the new NFL season. FINALLY! I’ve been waiting since February 12th for this! This year I did something new. You’ve probably heard of the NFL Sunday Ticket- it is a package that allows you legally to view all out of market NFL games from the comfort of your couch. For 11 years it was… Read more »
Some kids are already back in school. Most of the rest will be going back in the next couple weeks. And almost all of them have one thing in common- they attend schools that put sports above everything else, especially fine arts. In most towns it’s easy to get a huge crowd for a football game. It’s a lot harder… Read more »

By the time you are reading this I will be recovering from my cousin’s wedding. While this is cause for celebration all by itself, the wedding is taking place in DULUTH!! This wasn’t exactly a shock the wedding is happening in Duluth since the happy couple does live there, but we were all happy to find out for sure that’s… Read more »
Calling someone “woke” is supposed to be an insult. Supposedly it’s someone who’s out of touch and living in some kind of fantasy land. That is hilarious. People who don’t think the LGBTQ community deserve human rights are the ones who are out of touch. People who think women don’t deserve full bodily autonomy are ones who are out of… Read more »
To put in mildly the weather the last few weeks has been up and down here in north Iowa. We’ve had blizzard warnings, flood warnings, clear skies with sunshine, and winds from every direction. Sometimes it felt we had all of them in a 24 hour period. It. Gets. Old. Some will argue this is just what happens every year,… Read more »
A couple days ago I got a letter from my doctor’s office with the results of my recent blood work. Along with the normal blood sugar, cholesterol, etc. I got a note that I am now post menopausal. Last year I was peri menopausal, so this is a change. I thought it was a change I would be happy to… Read more »
