Guys, the concert was superb. The perfect mix of old, new and some freestyle in the mix. We were too busy enjoying Pizza Luce before the show started to push our way to the front, but I was quite comfortable in the back and my height, once again, came in handy. I’m waiting for the [...]
I am heading to Chicago in a few short hours and I am giddy with excitement. As usual, I have crammed about 300 things into the two days I’m in town, but they’re all fun things so I can’t complain. Coffee with a friend, wedding dress shopping, cooking, hanging with family. Sounds good to me! [...]

After nine months of waiting and 25 hours in the hospital my nephew arrived last night and I am overjoyed. I thought this time I would be able to hold it together hearing his little cry over the phone, but I lost it. I absolutely cannot wait to meet the little guy in person over [...]
Well, my predictions were correct and I’ll be driving through some snowy states this afternoon as I make my way to Chicago. Awaiting me there are five wedding venue visits, a birthday celebration, a baby shower and some great friends and family so I’m hoping the trip goes smoothly. Come on, four wheel drive, don’t [...]

In just a few hours time, the Red Head and I will be aboard a plan to Chicago to celebrate Christmas with my family and I cannot wait. We’ve got two and a half days of back-to-back family and friend celebrations and then we get to fly back to Minnesota on Sunday to celebrate some [...]
It’s 3 AM and I’m just waking up to head to the Mall of America for my first ever Black Friday bonanza. We’re giving away over $30,000 in prizes and it’s shaping up to be a pretty cool event. If you’re one of the daring ones fighting the crowds for the early morning deals, stop [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m running out the door for our first of four Thanksgiving celebrations so I’ll have to pace myself in the eating department. Note to self: it’s a marathon, not a sprint! But with the desserts from last night enticing me that might be easier said than done… Whatever you’re up to today I [...]
Like I mentioned the other day, things in Amsterdam got interesting. I think the world saw that all aspects of our journey were going too smoothly and decided to throw us a curve ball (or three). The first of which was the person who committed suicide by jumping in front of our train. If you’re [...]
