I’m a fortunate person. I know that just a simple twist of fate could make life difficult. So, when I was asked to help out with a fundraising effort for Taste of the NFL and their Kick Hunger Challenge, I jumped at the opportunity. What is this? Taste of the NFL helps to raise funds for food banks all across… Read more »
Today while driving back from lunch, I noticed an odd Minnesota license plate. Now, Minnesota has a TON of different kinds of license plates on the road. Just look at this 11 page list from the Department of Public Safety. Yep, 11 pages! Regardless, I thought I’d seen one before and had wondered at its plainness…which usually is reserved for… Read more »

It might be the “Great Minnesota Get-Together,” but I was… Read more »

For those of you unfamiliar, there are two 35 freeways: I-35 E and I-35W. Now, my brain says that these are east and west, respectively. Not much of a problem until you realize… Read more »
