Another April 15 has come and gone. There are two things in life that are certain, death and taxes, as the saying goes. Once per year, society forces us all to become amateur accountants, whether we want to or not.
We sit around the kitchen table or in the midst of our home office, combing over...
Some folks believe the universe communicates through signs and symbols, offering guidance and navigation through life’s many trials and tribulations. Perhaps, I saw, or should I say, heard, these signs when the song “Ticks,” by Brad Paisley, came across the radio, and the rhythmic “ticking” of the...
Turkey rules Thanksgiving. Burgers and hotdogs rule Independence Day. Ham rules Easter.
As families gather for dinner on Sunday, I’m guessing that the centerpiece of a majority of those meals will be the Easter ham, often glazed and served alongside potatoes, vegetables, and some type of baked...
This year’s NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments have had their fair share of thrills. As we enter the weekend of the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, I assume we’ll be in for a few more.

As the month of March marches on, the dreaded Ides of March will soon be upon us. I’m guessing most have heard the phrase “Beware of the Ides of March.” I don’t recall the first time I heard that particular phrase, possibly from a TV program or some pop culture reference. To be honest, I never...
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.
Whenever special dates come around each calendar year, I often wonder about...
