The great Minnesota get-together opens today. The State Fair, for the most part, is a lot of fun and an enjoyable experience. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t come with a few obstacles and headaches along the way. I’ve attended several fairs over the years. I don’t claim to be an expert on...
Several headlines emerged from the recently completed Olympic summer games. One that stood out in particular was the controversy and debate regarding Women’s Boxing. After a match between a woman from Algeria and a woman from Italy, a story surfaced where the International Boxing Association had...
The Minnesota Vikings play their first preseason game on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. I guess that means football season is upon us. There won’t be any easy games in the NFC North, which is expected to be one of the toughest divisions in the NFL this year. The Detroit Lions were one bad...
It’s hard to believe that August is here. I find that reoccurring thought floating through my head each time we begin a new month. I’m beginning to wonder where the summer has gone. Fall is my favorite season of the year, but I am not ready for it yet. Why does time seem to move so quickly? Can I...
The Olympics are here. Opening ceremonies kick off on Friday, July 26, in Paris, France. I’ve always enjoyed watching the Olympic games when they roll around every couple of years, alternating between summer and winter. It’s fun to learn about the athlete’s and their unique journey’s. Many of them...
On July 5, Minnesota Independent Wrestling put on a free show under the big tent in Delano as part of the town’s 4th of July celebration.

Hard to believe that another 4th of July is upon us. Two hundred and forty-eight years have passed since 1776, the first year of our country’s independence. I remember traveling with my parents and sister as a young boy to Philadelphia in 1985 and standing outside of Independence Hall. Looking...
Summer is a great time for a road trip. My family looks forward to loading the truck and hitching the camper each year to explore state and county parks, discovering the many interesting and sometimes hidden attractions around Minnesota and the surrounding area.  Last fall, we asked our daughter...
It’s hard to believe that another school year is in the books and summer is in full swing. Day one seems like an eternity ago. Those first-day jitters are history, replaced by a sense of jubilation for students and teachers alike.  This year saw my youngest complete her final day of elementary...
