It’s winter in Minnesota
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At twenty-five below.
Oh, how I love Minnesota
when the snow’s up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I’ll hang around
I could never leave Minnesota
‘Cause I’m frozen to the ground!!

Much has been written on Senator Larry Craig’s ability to stare awkwardly through cracks, toe tap and give improper hand signals. I once found myself on the receiving *cough* end of a similar situation.
Allow me to explain.
When I was 16, someone (perhaps Senator Craig), gave me hand signals from a mall restroom stall where he [...]

Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Electricity
You’re highly reactive, energetic, and super charged.
If the occasion calls for it, you can go from 0 to 60 in a split second. But you don’t harness your energy unless you truly need to.
And because of this, people are often surprised by what you are capable of.
Why you would [...]

Games We Played
When I ran across this list of childhood games - adjusted for those of us now crossing over into adulthood - I couldn’t resist posting them here:
1. Sag, you’re It.
2. Hide and go pee.
3. Twenty questions shouted into your good ear.
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse says bend over.
6. Musical [...]

Chris Matthews, host of CNBC’s “Hardball” program, may not be anyone’s favorite political pundit, but as a guest on “The Tonight Show,” Aug. 22, he explained in under five minutes his views on both Republican and Democrat options for president as well as what’s wrong with Bush and his love affair with the Iraq War.
Matthew’s picks [...]

I sweat. There. I admit it.
I’m not a heavy sweater (thank God). A little anti-perspirant/deoderant every morning under the arms and I smell like a tulip all day. Not so for lots of folks. Take Kevin James for example (co-star of the recently released movie, “I Now Prounounce You Chuck and Larry.” That man is [...]

The Great Minnesota Get Together starts on Thursday and runs through Sept. 3. This year I’ll find myself at the fair. Last time I strolled the Fairgrounds along Snelling Avenue in St. Paul was 2005 and my head wasn’t in the game, so to speak. I’ve always liked a good fair. The sights and sounds [...]

On Thursday nights in my city, in the downtown shopping district, live music can be heard while venturing to and from all the big box chain stores. We were there last night, my son, daughter and myself, back-to-school-shopping at American Eagle. On the way to the store, I had to stop and listen to a [...]

When it bleeds it leads. That’s the philosophy of the news media. For centuries, the bad news gets the spotlight - above the fold in newspapers and the first 30 seconds on television news. (Did I just say first 30 seconds? I meant all 22 minutes of TV news programming.) We are our own worst enemies [...]
