Time to Bust Out the Sandals
Just in case you didn’t know, yesterday was the official start of summer. Although the summer is just beginning, the sunburn on my back tells me that I tried to celebrate a bit to early… Note to self: Listen more to your girlfriend regarding sunscreen application. The sunburn was caused by one [...]
California + Colorado = Perfect Vacation
We are now back in Minnesota after a vacation to remember. This adventure took us to San Fransisco, California which was followed by Aspen, Colorado. It was a great combination of sun and snow which can’t be beat in my mind, especially since it rained cats and dogs in Minnesota while we were gone…
The first [...]
Saying Goodbye to the WRX
I am sad to say that I have sold my Subaru WRX as of last Saturday. The car had been to hell and back with me and I can’t thank it enough for the last 7 years. In the time that I owned the Subie it brought smiles and looks of fear to many peoples [...]
Turkey Day in South Padre
First of all, I must apologize to my loyal readers. It has been quite a while since I wrote a riveting blog post! I’m freshly back from my Thanksgiving vacation and ready to fill your mind with useless info about my travels. This time the destination was South Padre Island in Texas [...]
The Transition from Fall to Winter
It’s been a while since I updated my blog, and in the meantime a lot has happened. The fall arrived in full force with it’s beautiful colors and disappeared almost as quickly. There are still a few signs of fall left, but most of the colorful leaves are laying on the ground waiting for a [...]
Soaking in the Culture of Omaha
Kate and I recently took a trip to Omaha Nebraska for the weekend to attend the Omaha Fashion week runway show. When Kate first mentioned the trip, I was skeptical to say the least. Normally if the state of Nebraska is mentioned to me, all I think of is endless hours of flat farm land. [...]
My hair is out of hand, but you can help
Many of you may have noticed already, but it has been quite a few full moons since my last haircut. My hair has gotten to the point where it actually looks quite messy after waking up or hanging out in a stiff breeze. My long time love-affair with low maintenance haircuts (read: shaved head) has [...]
Moving to Minneapolis and paddling the BWCA..
First of all, I apologize for not writing an entry for so long! Many of you already know that Kate and I packed up our life in Edina and decided to move to the Longfellow Neighborhood in Minneapolis. Although we did enjoy our time in Edina, it lacked the personality that any area in Minneapolis [...]
Celebrating the Fourth
Another long weekend has come and gone too quickly. This time the cause for celebration was the 4th of July. The fun started out on Friday with a great trip to the beach with close friends. Many games of “cups” were played and even though the sun wasn’t very bright, I think I soaked up [...]
The End of the Sea Ray
Today I sold my pride and joy of the last two years… A proud new owner drove away with my Sea Ray Seville while I gave it a final wave goodbye. It was definitely a sad day but I’m happy to see the wonderful boat go to a good home. Hopefully it [...]
