Nuance
I’m not going to say that the most frustrating arguments are the ones where your opponent reduces your case to its most absurd extreme. You: I think it’d be fun to go to Burger King. Opponent: Why do you hate McDonald’s? You get used to arguments like this if you have junior high kids, psychotic…

Breakfast In The Dark
Last Saturday was the first-ever Shot In The Dark “Staff Meeting”. This blog’s staff – which has doubled in the past year to four – met at “Hell’s Kitchen” in Minneapolis (the nearly-liquid scrambled eggs take some getting used to, but the wild-rice hash browns are proof God loves us). There was no agenda, nobody…

The Pigeons Rose Into the Air

Being self-employed has it’s trade-offs. On one hand, 10 AM this morning, writing sizeable checks to “Minnesota Revenue” and the “US Treasury” – an oxymoron if ever there was one. On the other: home early, by my own volition, to ride my bike for the first time this season. On a sunny, 70-degree day in April…in…

Bring It On
I’m ready. I have a thirty-year-old snow blower that starts with one pull. …a half bag of Starbucks. …two four-wheel-drive cars. …a shack full of firewood. …a battery-powered AM radio to listen to Mitch & Ed. …a scanner to listen to the mayhem. …a drawer full of Ramen Noodles ….a lovely wife who happens to…

A Matter of Pride
Since I was a boy I have had a fascination with cars. I made them with my Legos. We’d set four folding chairs in the yard and imagine we were on road trips. My neighborhood buddy and I sketched countless pictures of them. Always set in action, with smoking rear wheels, quarter panels repleat with…

A Walk in Paradise
This morning I found myself taking stock of all the adventures I have had in my adult life. Most recently, I have walked Broadway in New York from the depths of Ground Zero through the blaze of Times Square to the greenery of Central Park and the Upper West Side. I’ve hiked the historic streets of Washington DC,…
