Proud dad moment

Over the weekend I had one of my favorite ‘proud dad moments.’ 
Before I go any further no I don’t have any human kids currently, instead we have a soon to be three year old dog named Finn, along with two older cats Eloise and Snowball. 
On Saturday, I had even more of a reason to be proud as Finn along with his handler Lydia, got a blue and ribbon during the Dodge County 4-H Dog Show.

A real head scratcher

The Minnesota Twins got shafted. 
How can the second best team in baseball only end up with two players on the American All-Star Team? How can the team that has racked up 156 home runs end up with only one batter represented in the All-Star game?
Quite frankly, the Twins got snubbed like none other. For me, it’s a real head scratcher trying to understand how this could happen.

State of 10,000 memories

When I moved to Minnesota over two years ago, I remember someone commented on my Facebook post about moving. 
That person gave me some of the best advice that I could listen to. They told me “make sure you go to different places that are unique to the area you're living in. Go to small businesses instead of chain places.”
I often times think about that advice when I decide on different places to go to on weekends.

Love 60 years in the making

This past weekend my family celebrated a remarkable accomplishment that doesn’t happen nearly as often as it should. Many couples simply don’t get the opportunity for various reasons. 

Reliving childhood for my 24th birthday

The same year I was born the movie Toy Story came out.
That’s why it was so fitting that 24 years later I celebrated my birthday by seeing Toy Story 4 on Saturday.
The Toy Story movies have always been my favorite movies, and ever since I was little I was always excited to watch it and was especially excited to see the new ones in theaters. 

New printer brings sharper looking product

Sometimes changes bring on more positive results than one could have wished for.
That’s what I am finding with our recent printer switch to the House of Print in Madelia.

Pokémon Go: The millennials way to get outside

A few summers ago, the game Pokémon Go became a really popular game across the country.
I remember wherever I would go, whether it was at my summer job or at the airport people were glued to their phones playing the game. In fact I remember even writing a story about how the Republican National Convention was a great place to play Pokémon Go and how that would add even more stress to the people running the convention.
