Bye Bye Becky

  Becky Otto is retiring from Keloland Television after 43 years of faithful service and I, for one, am not quite sure how the place is going to get along  without her. In fact, if you were to talk to every Keloland General Manager she’s been Administrative Assistant to over the years, you’d be surprised…

Jesus And The Jackalope

I’ll admit that I’m a pretty poor excuse for a Christian. My faith tends to run hot and cool depending on which family member or friend is sick. But even though a hypocrite I may be..and openly profess my doubt about “all the things that you’re liable to read in the Bible” not being necessarily…

The Cost Of Curing Cancer

Cancer. Would somebody somewhere just come up with a cure already? Two more people I know and admire were diagnosed in the last couple days. Cam Lind and Pastor, Dave Ellingson. Two others..including my nephew’s wife, Jodi Lund.. who  undergoes a double mastectomy this week. Her breast cancer came back after eleven years. And  popular…

Autumn Rising

No matter how hard he tries, our old friend and long time Keloland TV anchor, Steve Hemmingsen, just can’t resist sitting down to the nearest keyboard to record his observations…his spin..on things. For years, people figured his vision was focused primarily on news of the day and politics but those of us who’ve known Steve…

Cecil And Desist

I’m not a hunter. Oh, in my younger days I gave pheasant hunting a shot.(See what I did there?) But I was really lousy at it and of the few ringnecks I did bring down, most were only wounded which meant I had to wring their neck; a ghastly procedure of spinning the poor creature…

A Not So Empty Nest

I have the curtains drawn in my man-cave window which is kind of a pain because I’m used to sitting here at the computer each morning with a clear view as I continue to look for a flash of red in the crab apple tree just outside. But I haven’t laid an eye on that…

Right On Target

Yup.. It’s another Lund Travelogue. But instead of photos and descriptions from far off lands like the missus and I used to visit and post about when hosting tours, we are back to the real world of “Stay-cations” which, as you know, is a made-up word for not having the money for fancy schmancy globe…

Fragrance Of The Fourth

Back by popular request (my own) I’m sharing a favorite blog first written five years ago. Yes, another summer re-run but offered with sincere hopes that you have a grand holiday and a request to be careful out there in your celebrating. I see that the fireworks stands are open for business again. It’s a…

Reunited And It Feels So Good

After the recently completed Lund Family Reunion at Palmer Gulch in South Dakota’s Black Hills, I now know what it would REALLY be like to go back and live in the “good” old days..and it is both wonderful and extremely frustrating. First, the wonderful part; all the direct descendants of Harry and Gladys Lund (my…
