Shaun Cassidy at Hoyt Sherman Place June 17th, 2022

Last month an old friend and I made a 4 hour trek through nothing but cornfields to see our preteen crush - Shaun Cassidy - perform at the Hoyt Sherman Place theater. We caught the June 17th show. I don't remember which came first - Shaun the pop music sensation or The Hardy Boys. Seems to me they both happened at the same time. It

My Thoughts on the Super Bowl Halftime Show

If you're wondering what my thoughts on the Super Bowl Halftime show are, you've come to the right place. Grab a beverage of choice, sit a spell and I'll share my thoughts with you on this generally divisive topic. As most of you know I am not a football fan. I'm not against it, I just didn't grow up watching it. My dad preferred Opera

No, it’s Not ‘A Culture of Consequences’, it’s Mob Rule – Mean Girls Style

Cancel culture has gone too far. I've had enough, I cannot sit idly by anymore and bite my tongue. This has got to stop. Woke culture, the woke mob, have gone too far. What was the proverbial straw? Now they want to cancel Grease. My beloved Grease - a movie I saw 26 times the summer it was released - sometimes two or three times

You Know You’re Parenting Right When Your Child Threatens Emancipation

I don't care much for either Kellyanne Conway or her husband George, but I have to give them both props for parenting. Clearly they are doing something right if their daughter, Claudia Conway, hates both of them. Claudia Conway has been outspoken about both of her parents and their jobs. She is quite active on TikTok and Twitter and claims her parents have abused her.

On Accusations and Lies

I have court today. My ex husband is taking me to court to reinstate his parental access that he terminated last year in court when the judge didn't rule in his favor. I won't bore you with all the details of my divorce for the last 15 years, but suffice to say my ex has not been a shining example of what a father should

Walk Up, Not Out Backlash

The internet wouldn't be the internet if people (mostly white, suburban moms) didn't find something to get completely and utterly worked up about. This week the outrage is in response to the Walk Up, Not Out movement. This past Wednesday, kids all over the world held a walkout in their schools for 17 minutes in honor of the students and staff who were killed in

Some Thoughts on the Super Bowl

Now that it's over, everyone can go home. Obviously, I have some thoughts on the Super Bowl and all the surrounding festivities and celebrations that took place in the Twin Cities metro area. Some Thoughts on the Super Bowl First and foremost, it was pretty awesome. The weather couldn't have been better. Sure, it was cold and it snowed a few inches, but that's what

An Invitation to Dinner for Jimmy Fallon

So apparently Jimmy Fallon is inviting himself to dine with some Minnesotans while he's here for his live Tonight Show following the Super Bowl. He's not from here so he wouldn't know that we don't just invite ourselves over to someone's house for dinner. In fact, we have to be invited a minimum of three times before we can accept anything.  However, this is a

#SKOL

Skol! That was a helluva game last night. It looked like a typical Minnesota Vikings end of season. They held a 17 point lead agains the Saints for most of the game and then they didn't. There were seconds left on the clock, no way they could win, but they did. I don't need to recap the game, you probably saw it when it happened

When the Bough Breaks

Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all. Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop Who the hell puts their baby, along with the cradle, in a fucking tree? They don't. It's a metaphor. For mother (or father, primary caregiver - just so I don't offend anyone reading this who isn't
