The subhead for this blog reads “School teacher, dad, homeowner turns superhero but has to learn his powers along the way.”
Lately I’ve had a weird sort of feeling about that.  Like I’m supposed to explain what it means or something.  And since, in my own mind, that would be a lot of work and I’m lazy, […]

Remember when I said we were a little quirky? Well, I really wasn’t kidding. These signs are on a little road within the city of St. Croix Falls. It’s a road that services homes and traffic tucked between the school district and the industrial park.

Just a quick post here to let y’all know I’m still alive. We’ve had hell of a time around here lately–little taste of just about everything life (and death) can toss at you.

You know all those entertainment awards, right? Music, movie, TV, whatever. I wish somebody would get up one day to accept their award with just those two simple words. Maybe smile, hold up the trophy a bit, then:
“Gee, thanks.”
And go sit back down.
Then wouldn’t it be cool if everybody started doing that? […]

How’s That Connection?
Managing relationships, is kind of like using a cell phone.
People who frequently do know where to get the best connection– where the signal is clearest–and they know where it’s not. An avid cell user can even tell you what the reception will be like without even turning the phone on. Geography, geology, […]

Holy smokes do I have a topic backlog. It all comes, I suppose, of eating too much honey . . .wait, er . . . where am I?
