Up next on my tour of the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers –\u00a0<\/em><\/a>Casual Sundays with Mr. Curry<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

I always urge everyone to read every MOB blog – but Casual Sundays…<\/em> has always been one of my favorites.\u00a0 It’s one of the better blogs you may not be reading.<\/p>\n

Casual Sundays…<\/em>is not <\/em>your one-stop shop for political head-banging.\u00a0 It’s a wry look at family life from someone who’s had a family for a while, now.<\/p>\n

Of course, that family started back in Jamestown, North Dakota – back when I was in college, where her husband Jay was the basketball coach.\u00a0 Their oldest was born there,<\/a> which was a subject of one of the long list of my favorite posts from the blog:<\/p>\n

The world literally changes.<\/p>\n

Okay, the world doesn\u2019t change, the world doesn\u2019t even notice. Here\u2019s what\u2019s important; You change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She’s also the sister of Katie McCollow, of the late and much-lamented Yucky Salad With Bones<\/em>.\u00a0 So the knack must run in the family<\/p>\n

She’s been writing the blog pretty consistently since 2006.<\/p>\n
