    the calendar is telling me that it\’s the first day of spring; even so, the weather terrorists have already predicted 4-6 inches of snow for tonight and tomorrow. and, falling into their trap, i\’m already anxious about it. and i hate that. i\’m not sure if it\’s the same in other areas, but minnesotans are…

  • popularity contest

    i was listening to the Power Trip Morning Show on my way into work yesterday, as i am wont to do. they were discussing music, particularly the popularity of genres like rap / hip-hop and country. chris hawkey– a person who i typically agree with– asserted that country music is by definition \”good\” because of…

    having huey lewis and the news\’s \”walkin\’ on a thin line\” stuck in your head for hours and hours and hours.

  • kirby

    Kirby Puckett passed away two years ago today. While sad, his death did not affect me like others did—Paul Wellstone, for example—because you felt like you could almost see it coming. Howard Sinker has posted some fans’ memories on his Strib blog. wadE and I thought we’d take the opportunity to do the same. Feel…

  • rose-colored revisionism

    normally, i try not to pick on sid hartman too often– or, at least as much as he deserves. being overly negative to grandpa sports and other very old, nearly dead people (like carl pohlad) seems like an invitation to bad karma. however, sometimes i need to call el sid out. sid is famous for…

  • prepare yourself

    i\’ve been a serious web-surfer for well over a decade now. i check numerous sites, numerous times a day. i do a lot of searching via google– i have my technique down, no ticklin\’ or nothin\’. i have seen many, many, many images online. and, today, in doing a little research on arm muscles, i\’ve…

  • thank you, herbert w. chillstrom

    as a christian, i am often frustrated by those in public life who hijack that term in order to justify discrimination and hatred. people pick out-of-context snippets of the bible– often using out-of-date translations in the process– to claim that they have \”spiritual basis\” for attitudes that are completely out of alignment if you read…

  • redneck desserts

    so there was a restaurant (and i use the term loosely) named \”the blue horse saloon\” about five miles south of northfield in a subhamlet (?) called millersburg. prototypical small-town bar– lots of pennants, free popcorn, good burgers, lots of beer. also, it was attached to a convenience-type store called the millersburg store. it was…
