Hard to believe it's already summer especially since it snowed a fair amount just a few weeks ago. But, Grand Old Day is today and that means summer has officially begun. Last summer the daughter and I drove to Mount Rushmore. It was a hell of a trip taken during the hottest days of the summer. Don't let South Dakota fool you. South Dakota might not
So this latest viral video is either really funny or really creepy depending on how much of a helicopter parent you turned out to be. It's about mothers and their sons who grow up to use Old Spice. I suppose it's about letting go but really it just looks like these young men are going to have difficulty in any new relationship and they may
By now you've seen this video called What Does the Fox Say. It's catchy, it's well produced and it's almost as annoying as that Friday video by what'shername? I apologize if you haven't seen this video before because now the song will be stuck in your head for near eternity. Or until another equally annoying song/video/meme comes along and kicks it to the curb.
It's been raining here in The Twin Cities for the past ever. My basement barely dried out from the winter thaw when it was flooded again by all the rain.

It's been 28 days since we started the Listerine Smart Rinse Sweet Smart Challenge and what a difference 28 days can make. Getting my kids to brush was second only to potty training in frustration. Why would anyone want to go in a diaper instead of the toilet? Why would anyone want to walk around with grime on their teeth? I couldn't answer that question so
I'm not surprised that the St. Paul Public School District would frown on Halloween. It's too bad but not the least bit surprising. Years ago, maybe decades, Joe Soucheray said that St. Paul (or maybe it was Minnesota) is the place where you can't do anything. He said it much more poetically but I can't find the quote anywhere. Doesn't matter, you can't do anything
Halloween is less than a week away. As I write this it is snowing but next week it looks to be perfect trick or treat weather. What follows is some fun statistics about Halloween. Costumes, candy and bobbing for apples are just some of the things we do on All Hallows Eve. According to this infographic candy bars like Snickers, Hershey bars and Milky Ways
I've been thinking a lot about zombie attacks lately. Maybe because Halloween is just a couple of weeks away (seriously, when did summer end?) and because lately I have seen more and more of those stick family stickers with zombies. You know, the stickers that perky people put on their back car window to show off their family? At least that's how I look it
