Well, it’s going to be interesting again over the next couple weeks trying to figure out which day our humungous backyard maple tree will decide to let its leaves turn from green to yellow and then drop them all at once like a clumsy waiter. It happens just that quickly as if our maple is…
“Raaarrrow.” (Meant to spell out what an angry cat sounds like.) That’s the noise Linda often makes when I wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Not literally but when I turn into a certifiable grump for no apparent reason. Her pointing out my surliness in such a playful way will usually do…
(Coffee blog update:) I love coffee. I love the aroma of a fresh pot brewing in the morning. I can hardly wait for that sound our Mr.Coffee pot makes when it’s nearly done. (Sort of like the noise from several people all at once trying to suck the last delicious drop of a milkshake…
Green. It’s the color of money..envy..Ireland..Kremit THE frog..Robin Hood’s underpants..my face during a cruise without Dramamine AND the waters of Lake Hendricks 90% of the time. Okay Okay..the locals might dispute that..but it’s been my experience and an important reason for making what I’m about to report even more incredible. But, let’s begin at the…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
