As Alex recently wrote, we\’ve been MIA as of late. For me, I took the entire week of the July 4th off and didn\’t go anywhere. Just stayed at home and it was wonderful!

Today\’s News
If you are a faithful reader, you know I enjoy the news…and I often write (I write, I don\’t \”blog\”) about various articles. If you know me personally you know my mind is a scary place with odd and random connections that lead me from point A to point Q in anything but a straight…

Worst House In Edina
The title of this post isn\’t a judgement call, see for yourself. I caught this article in the Strib on the challenges a couple in Edina have been coping with for the past 10 months. (for those readers not familiar with \”Edina\” it is… well, not what is described in that wikipedia entry. it is…

The research confirms a lot of my thoughts about homosexuality (from a scientific perspective). It\’s…
