Midwestern Sensibility Views: August 2011
http://purpleraider53.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Saturday, August 27, 2011. I'm back (sort of). So I thought I would check in to see if anybody had made any comment sto my most recent posting - a small item about the pleasures of walking the dog. Much to my surprise, I discovered that . and the other 189 tomes that had been offered since coming into existence, had disappeared into cyberspace. I put it down to a computer malfunction and decided to check back later. Time to move to action.

Midwestern Sensibility Views: May 2011

Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Saturday, May 28, 2011. People 2, Buckthorn 0. Before I became a co-homeowner a decade ago, I didn't know the difference between buckthorn and Buck Owens. However, when you live with it in your backyard, you learn quickly what a vile thing buckthorn really is. It is also an ugly thing, given to spreading in several directions at once. All of which makes today's victory sweet, indeed. Another half hour of whacking and hacking produced mode...

Midwestern Sensibility Views: November 2011
http://purpleraider53.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Sunday, November 27, 2011. A new gig is exciting, challenging . and worrisome, too. In essence, today starts a new adventure for me. Since August 1, I have been filling for my friend Steph Harris as the Sports Information Director at Hamline. It was kind of like when Johnny Carson used to go on vacation and he would have guest hosts. You kept things going until the incumbent returned. No, the problem will be Steph was a lot better at cybe...

Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Supporting A Friend In Need. The kerfuffle started about 9:00 am It was a crappy morning outside - wet and dreary. As per usual, I fed The Happy Dog breakfast and his morning treats. Seeing the wet landscape, I told The Happy Dog we would wait a but before tending to the morning walk. By the time we got there (it's only about 5 minutes away), The Happy Dog appeared to be back to normal. But he had to pee and p...

Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. A quiet Christmas can be a wonderful one. Saturday, December 22, 2012. The Happy Dog has had a rough year, suffering some seizures and going on medication. But just got a report from the vet. Levels are great. His weight is up. So are his spirits. And ours, too. Friday, December 21, 2012. Let's hope there are folks more like Tom Hansen out there. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). St Paul, MN, United States.

Midwestern Sensibility Views: An evening of Championship Bingo
http://purpleraider53.blogspot.com/2011/12/evening-of-championship-bingo.html
Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. An evening of Championship Bingo. As a holiday treat, Lynne and I took a one-day siesta and decamped to a casino two hours north of home. We didn't have a lot of money to spend but the price was right ($40 for a one night stay) and the drive was wonderful. After a couple of hours of unsuccessful pokering at machines, we took a break and decided to play Bingo. We had stepped into the world of Championship Bingo.

Midwestern Sensibility Views: June 2011

Midwest people are notoriously sensible. At least we think we are. Sunday, June 19, 2011. Happy Father's Day, Dad. There is a picture in our hallway of me bring raise in the air by my father. I must have been only a couple of days (maybe a month or so) old at the time. Unfortunately, that is about as close I ever got to knowing Dad. By the time I was able to remember things, he was not at the house. My mother, good Catholic that she was, never lied to me about him. She simply said he was sick. A couple o...
