Day 47 – Broken Shoulder Update

I've not bothered with daily updates on my shoulder because the improvement is so incremental, sometimes not at all noticeable, other times it is as if I have gone backwards with recuperation of this blasted broken shoulder. Today is Day 47 so time for a broken shoulder update! I just returned from Orlando, FL last night. I spent the day traveling and am surprised my

I’d Like Some Cheese with this Whine

I'm so sick of this broken shoulder - and yes, I would like some cheese with this whine, and you might too - it's been over a month and while it is a whole lot better than it was, it still hurts (like a mofo today) and is still pretty useless. This past Monday I was cleared by my doctor to start physical therapy. I

Random thoughts about winter in Minnesota

It's Too Cold in St. Paul It's cold today, too cold. Like it's 0 - a big fat ZERO - right now as I type this. It was -12°F when I woke up this morning. I know there's nothing I can do about the the cold - I live in the frozen tundra, the only thing to do is move and for the life of

The Text that Broke the Camel’s Back

I started writing this post 4 hours ago and then got an email from a client, and phone call from a client and then realized I hadn't created a newsletter for a client and remembered I had to schedule an appointment for my daughter and reschedule several other things that need to be changed due to a new appointment.... And now I have to pick

The Struggle is Real

It's cold here. So cold! I don't mind the cold that much, I mean reasonable cold. This cold is epic. When I woke up this morning it was -27°F. Currently, it's -18°F and falling.  I've experienced these kinds of temps before. I grew up in the 1970s when sub zero temps and record snow falls were pretty commonplace. This current Polar Vortex is breaking all

Super Bowl Recipes – Easy and Awesome

Last year Minnesota hosted the Super Bowl. Minnesota did not make it to the Super Bowl, which is no surprise. The Vikings did not make it this year either. That also is not a surprise. Odds are, your team did not make it to the Super Bowl, but you're probably still going to a Super Bowl party and you're going to need to bring something.

Stuck in the Overwhelm

I don't know if the impending snowstorm and Polar Vortex that is expected this week, the lack of sunlight or what, but I've been stuck in the overwhelm for a while now.  I know I am not the only one who feels this way. I know most people are experiencing some level of this, I can see it on social media and on the faces

Walking Dead Recipes – Carol’s Casserole

I'm starting a new feature called Walking Dead Recipes. This week's Walking Dead Recipe is Carol's Casserole.  Casseroles, or hot dish as we call them in Minnesota, are the perfect dish for those living in the zombie apocalypse. They're usually made with whatever happens to be on hand and often utilizing canned ingredients that might be about to expire.  Walking Dead Recipes - Carol's Casserole

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
