Personal Identity Guides Don’t you wish everyone came equipped with a Personal Identity Kit like this guy? I think it would be quite useful.

Hometown Pride Your faith in humanity is shaken when the last thing you hear on the local news before going to bed is that two men, arguing about which area code (612 or 651) is better, got into a shoot out on a stretch of I-94. Read the story Man dies in I-94 shooting. I’ve …
Mel Gibson I was going to weigh in on the current media frenzy surrounding ‘Gibson-gate’ but I think these words from the Good Doctor in an email I received today sum it up better than I could: ITEM: You would think that there is no other news in this world with all the fuss over …
War Drums I think I’ve found the drum set of my dreams. Isn’t she a thing of beauty. And what with it being an election year and all, these babies are the perfect instrument I need to beat a war march to the polls in November. I can do a drum roll for John Edwards, …

Me Talk Kitty One Day I now have three ladies to take care of. Two calico sisters from the same litter arrived on our door step last night. The misses and I have been looking for two kittens for a little while now and they have finally come home. One is watching me type this …
The Games We Play Lately, the misses has been taking my ass back to the ‘Jack of Club’s School for Challenged Card Players’. Her game is Gin and she’s on a hot streak that can only be classified as merciless. On most nights, our mini tournaments will end after I’ve lost my eighth game in …
Ice House Makeovers It’s very possible that the whole redecorating/makeover reality television trend seriously jumped the shark this weekend. The local news was holding makeovers for people’s ice houses (those little shacks that Minnesotan’s spend their winter in attempting to catch fish through a small hole in the ice). Are we far from a redecorating …
