This past week I saw one of the stranger posts I’ve seen on Facebook in quite some time. Someone was very upset that schools in their state were going to educate children on climate change and human’s part in it (Yes, I’m keeping the details vague on purpose). I did not respond to that post because I simply had no… Read more »
Today is clean your virtual desktop day! There are two kinds of people in this world- folks with 5 icons on their desktops and folks with 105. In spite of all evidence to the contrary, I fall fully into the “less is more” camp. Just like I cannot work with too many items in my inbox or too many icons… Read more »
Dear Chuck- What the hell happened to you? You used to be the defender of the American wallet. You voted against pay raises for yourself more than once. You discovered $112,000 toilet seat purchases and exposed the companies responsible. You railed against accounting practices that made it easier for companies to move earnings from one year into another for tax… Read more »

Today I’d like to talk to you about a subject we all know and many of us have a love/ hate relationship with- bras. Specifically, bra straps. Last weekend I went to a Bon Jovi concert with my dear friend Lisa. There is NO lack of people watching opportunities there. One trend that we saw a lot of were visible… Read more »
As many of you know, my employer is a small manufacturing company based in Mason City. We produce all kinds of asset tags, many of which we refer to as labels (NOT stickers. I joke that “stickers” is the naughty “s” word in our building). In this sense, labels are great- they keep me in gainful employment, which keeps me… Read more »
In the tail end of a snowstorm on the morning of March 24th I participated in the March for our Lives that took place in Mankato Minnesota. I was amazed how many people showed up in the really awful weather. I was amazed at the number of people who drove by who gave us a “thumbs up” sign or other… Read more »
Even though I’m writing this well ahead of time I already know that come 5pm Monday afternoon I’m going to be thinking “I need a nap”. Why? Glad you asked! #1 I love napping. My weekends are not complete without some nap time included in them. Alas, since I have not yet won the lottery I am forced to only… Read more »
