I’m just now starting to thaw out from spending the better part of an hour blowing the 1.5 inches of snow from my walk and driveway..along with some of my neighbor’s sidewalks. It’s times like this when I’m reminded of my Norwegian heritage; not because of my stout hardiness in cold weather but for being too…
“I know you but you don’t know me.” I still hear that a lot when people bump into me at a restaurant, bar, some social function or when we’re traveling. After 33 years of exposure on Keloland TV, folks have always figured they know me well enough to come over and say Hi..and I love it. The…
It was six a.m. when Linda and I staggered groggily into the kitchen to get things going for the Thanksgiving meal which we and 25 others would be sitting down to in 6 and a half hours. First things first; get a strong pot of coffee started while the oven is heating up to 350.…
About 42 million turkeys, which, let’s face it, aren’t the most beautiful bird in the world with a head like a vulture and body of a peacock, will be elevated to the rank of superstardom this week as they are sacrificed, stripped clean, brined, baked, broasted or deep fried and proudly presented before family and friends to…

Linda and I did something yesterday we haven’t done in a long, long time. (Oh, please, clean it up!) We went for an afternoon ride in the car. Not just any car..but our old white Lincoln..the same one I used to haul leaves in a couple weeks ago. I’m sure this will sound strange…
One of the great luxuries in my life is the DVR (digital video recorder) that’s part of my cable TV package. Because of it, I’m able to record programs like NASCAR racing in high definition and zip through all the boring parts of a four hour race in about an hour. Believe me, there are…
As most anyone who knows me is well aware, I’m a charter member of the procrastinator’s club. So writing a story about a veteran on the day AFTER Veterans’ Day would be totally in character for me..Lund’s late again. But the truth is, this time I waited on purpose in hopes of giving this particular vet some…
I was back on television over the weekend! No, KELO didn’t call and ask me to fill-in on the news or anything like that. In fact, I never had to leave the house. Our son, James, as promised, sent us one of those little high definition cameras to hook up to our computer. After a…
Oh my God, Linda…I have a Charlie horse in my thumb! That’s what woke me up this morning; the painful sight of watching my left thumb curling up like a rattle snake about to strike. Then, as I was rubbing the inside of my left hand I noticed I could hardly open and close EITHER hand.…
