Fall is my favorite season of the year and it’s particularly beautiful in Minnesota. Just taking a drive to Stillwater, Alexandria or Duluth gives you hours of splendid scenery and enjoyable memories. I particularly love the scenic North Shore Drive in the fall of the year. The historic city of Two Harbors, Minnesota, is home […]

Things to think about
Carly Fiorina Wins CNN Debate
Last night I watched the complete Republican debate on CNN. For five excruciating hours I sat riveted to the television, not because the debate was interesting or even stimulating but because I needed to see if anything had changed since the Fox News debacle in August. There were definite changes but not all of them […]
America has just made a fatal mistake
This past week marked fourteen years since that fateful date on September 11, 2001 or better known as 911. It was and is a day that will be remembered by all of us. Even if we didn’t lose a loved one we lost a bit of our security and the stability of our nation. On […]
You Can’t Fix Stupid
We all know about the stupid jokes. Comedian Ron White is famous for the one in my title. I’m wondering how many of us have actually looked in the dictionary for the exact meaning of the word, “stupid”. Webster defines stupid as brainless or airhead, but one of the synonyms for the word is “uninformed”. […]
A Female President but NOT Hillary?
I was elated to hear the news that CNN has re-evaluated the criteria for the upcoming Republican debate on September 16, 2015. Originally it was said they would use poll numbers from July which would eliminate Carly Fiorina from the debate. Now it appears she will be included and I for one will be listening. […]
Here Comes the Blood Moon — Again
I know many of you have heard about the blood moon and its predicting the end of the world as we know it. Prophecy is fascinating, ambiguous and downright frustrating at times. People can’t predict when the world will end. Only God knows that secret. God does, however, send us warnings and signs. I did […]
Look Out Donald You May be Headed for a Fall
How many of you watched cartoons on Saturday mornings when you were a kid and watched Donald Duck trip over his own feet or be pounded down in the ground by an unsuspected adversary? I couldn’t believe my eyes this morning when I looked at the new poll numbers in Iowa. Trump’s lead is narrowing […]
Another Senseless Murder
Why do bad things happen to good people? The question is asked again and again but simply floats into oblivion without an answer. This past week we watched in horror as another senseless shooting took the lives of two innocent people. Their young lives were snuffed out without warning in a place in which they […]
Are You Accountable?
The past week I was faced head on with some choices I had made that had placed me in an undesirable position but one for which I was totally accountable. Strangely enough it made me think of all the changes that have taken place in our world and in our own country for which no […]
Where is Eddie Haskell When You Need Him?
If I asked you about Eddie Haskell, what would you say? I know I’m kind of dating myself with the question but with such things as ME-TV and Antenna-TV, many of you have been exposed to all of the wonderful 50’s, 60’s and 70’s shows. After all, we all know that Archie Bunker would be […]
