This question is more than just the title of the song Bon Jovi opened their April 7th show in St. Paul with. It’s a question that I am posing to the world. All around me there are lots of bad things going on. People I care about are fighting cancer and other serious illnesses. My sister has been trying to… Read more »
Since I left my job as a tech support rep for a cellular company 4 years ago I have become less and less interested in the new gadgets that have become available for sale at what seems to be a faster rate every year. I barely blinked when the iPhone was released. I have never checked out prices or available… Read more »
If you are reading this you already know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bon Jovi and have had a crush on Jon since approximately 1985. On April 7th I went to my 10th Bon Jovi concert in St Paul with my dear friend Lisa and we had a great time. One of my favorite moments from the show is when… Read more »
No, not the heavenly bodies- I am pondering the word “star” in the sense of “famous” or”celebrity”. Specifically- when did anyone who can get on TV for any reason be called a star? I am embarrassed to admit that I have gotten sucked into the latest season of the TV show Dancing with the Star. It’s mostly because of my… Read more »

This is an odd thing to think about and an even odder one to blog about. But it’s been on my mind a lot lately so here we go. As human beings we are all mammals. As mammals we all produce waste products. For whatever reason this is an embarrassing thing for a lot of people. So embarrassing for… Read more »
I am experiencing a post- Olympic let down this week. I wasn’t even planning on watching much of the Games but I got sucked in about day two and watched it all- skiing, skating, even curling! The only thing I didn’t watch was hockey because that really bores me (and yet I watched curling? Yes, I admit that makes less… Read more »
Remember when we all thought the year 2000 was so far away it would never come? Even better, remember when we all thought we would be living on the moon and driving spaceships by the year 2010? I am a child of the 80s. I remember very clearly the day my school got its first Apple 2c computer. I was… Read more »
If you were raised Lutheran (as I was) you heard and read this question many times as a teenager- it’s a staple of Luther’s Small Catechism. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in Confirmation class. But I am a member of a local LCMS church and I do try to attend services a couple times a month. Tonight… Read more »
