I usually take a deep breath when the calendar turns, and “March” appears at the top of the page. Minnesotans know we’re not quite out of the woods yet, but we can feel the change coming. The bitter cold and long dark nights of winter begin to loosen their grip. There’s a subtle shift in the...
As we move through February, it makes me happy to know that MLB Spring Training games are underway, with the first official games played last Friday. Spring Training is, well, a sign of spring, and that is a good thing. Early outlooks and season predictions look a bit mixed for the Twins, but a...
I read an article published by ABC News shortly after the Olympics began which stated that American athletes were facing intense scrutiny, backlash from the Trump administration regarding some of the athletes views on immigration, and a complex reception from the international community–which...
Valentine’s Day is upon us. When most folks think of Valentine’s Day, they envision flowers, candy, red and pink themes, cards that express love and appreciation, and a day to let that special someone know that we care.

Minnesota has long prided itself on...
Dogs have it made. I think a lot of us can recognize the truth in that statement. I’ve always known this on some level, but over the holidays, this fact was driven home ten-fold. I spent a lot of time with my four-legged friend, observing her quirks and peculiar nature–how demanding she becomes...
Whenever the holiday season comes to an end, like it recently did, I feel a bit bleak. The end of the holidays signal the beginning of winter in my mind. Winter officially kicked off on Dec. 21, but who’s counting a few days here and there. With the kids back in school, the holidays are but a...
Hitting the reset button is the official go-to for any novice techy, me included. Whenever something isn’t quite right with the computer, streaming box, or iPhone–it’s time to stretch the index finger and press the reset button.
I tend to view January 1 the same way. I’ve never been big on New...
