Alright, the title should have a disclaimer; “Other than the birth of Jesus.” I see TBS is going to run one of my favorite movies of all time, A Christmas Story, 24 hours straight again beginning Christmas Eve. I’m glad. It’s become a tradition and I expect my family and I will find time after…
When Don South..owner of Strawbale Winery just west of Renner.. called recently inviting me and the Misses to go for a nighttime helicopter ride over the city of Sioux Falls to see the lights, my first thought was.. is the helicopter big enough to safely lift my ample body aloft? My second was, could I…
Well, I gotta tell ya, I checked out the celestial light show last night and have to admit that I haven’t seen a moon that impressive and large since my nephew, Jay pointed his naked posterior out the open back window of a friend’s car while cruising the Sioux Falls loop in the 80’s. (Jay..now…
As I sit here looking out my window watching the leaves finally giving up the ghost; letting go of their host branches to make a swirly..sometimes spectacular aerobatic flight to earth, I’m reminded that Halloween is neigh. Now, I’m not as crazy about Autumn as some but I always loved Halloween..especially growing up in little,…

Alright, I fully confess to being an emotional old softie. It goes totally against the grain of my genetic make-up, of course, which is 100 percent stoic Norwegian. But I broke with tradition recently at the wedding of our grandson, Taylor Smith to his lovely petite Spanish bride, Macarena Escondrillas Luna de Toledo where I…
Writing today’s blog is a painful experience: literally. I’m going to show you why..but be warned the image you’re about to see is not for the weak of stomach. In fact, I’m getting a little nauseous myself at…not only the site of it…but the memory of how it occurred. Are you ready? …
Sorry for my extended absence from the blog. I have lots of reasons (excuses) for the hiatus but the main one is a total frustration at trying to come up with something witty and humorous at a time when this country of ours is in such a sorry state. It would seem almost insulting to…
Okay, I’ve lost some weight since the last time I flew anywhere. One of the motivating factors this time was our semi annual trip to Alaska hosting tours of our 49th state courtesy of Keloland TV and Holiday Vacations. I wanted to have some endurance for the walking and climbing that the journey offers if…
