In the early 1990s, we started doing special sections on each of the three high school sports seasons, and they have proven to be a popular...
Parenthood conundrum
I’m hesitant to write this.
Parents are judged at every turn—every decision.
And, I’m a parent. I’m mom to two young ladies, Anna (8.5) and Ellen (6), who enjoy playing outside with the kids in our neighborhood and exploring.
They climb trees, fish, build forts in old woodpiles...
WELL, I AM STILL HERE AND Nothing more drastic has befallen me. Guess Lisa is satisfied with her little "tricks" and things are back to normal albeit I do have the new address and guess it is permanent.

This is Severe Weather Awareness Week. From April 9-13, Minnesotans are asked to learn more about severe weather and the warnings that are given by the National Weather Service.

April and spring are here, according to the calendar and the position of the earth to the sun. Yet we continue to have to shovel thanks to the wintery weather we had earlier in the week that forced TCU to call another snow day on Tuesday and the continued cold days.
Despite our crummy weather,...
YEP, JUST AS I SUSPECTED! In the last two columns I mentioned both times that I suspected Lisa (who schedules the column dates at the LIFE office) had an ulterior motive in scheduling me twice in the month of March, especially since the first column’s date line was the same as the first full...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all. As I write this column Christmas morning, it never ceases to amaze me the generosity and friendly nature of those living in the Lake Region Area.
