Michael’s Musings
I recently completed my first sprint triathlon in Stillwater this past weekend. I did a relay version last year but went all in this time. The weather on Sunday couldn’t have been more perfect for the early morning event. The race kicked off at 8:00 a.m., with an air temperature of 54 degrees. The...
I’ve seen a lot of vehicles this summer, from antique models parked at the Buffalo American Legion during the Antique Car run from New London to New Brighton, to the classic muscle cars gathered at the Gear-Head Get Together and Cruise and Brews show, and recent electric models at the Minnesota...
Labor Day weekend is on the horizon. For many, it’s the last weekend before the kickoff of several new experiences. For the vast majority of my life, Labor Day has held a stronger significance than New Year’s Day. Both offer a period for reflection, but much of it has to do with the school...
The great Minnesota get-together opens today. The State Fair, for the most part, is a lot of fun and an enjoyable experience. That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t come with a few obstacles and headaches along the way. I’ve attended several fairs over the years. I don’t claim to be an expert on...
Several headlines emerged from the recently completed Olympic summer games. One that stood out in particular was the controversy and debate regarding Women’s Boxing. After a match between a woman from Algeria and a woman from Italy, a story surfaced where the International Boxing Association had...
The Minnesota Vikings play their first preseason game on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. I guess that means football season is upon us. There won’t be any easy games in the NFC North, which is expected to be one of the toughest divisions in the NFL this year. The Detroit Lions were one bad...
It’s hard to believe that August is here. I find that reoccurring thought floating through my head each time we begin a new month. I’m beginning to wonder where the summer has gone. Fall is my favorite season of the year, but I am not ready for it yet. Why does time seem to move so quickly? Can I...
The Olympics are here. Opening ceremonies kick off on Friday, July 26, in Paris, France. I’ve always enjoyed watching the Olympic games when they roll around every couple of years, alternating between summer and winter. It’s fun to learn about the athlete’s and their unique journey’s. Many of them...
On July 5, Minnesota Independent Wrestling put on a free show under the big tent in Delano as part of the town’s 4th of July celebration. If you had the opportunity to see the show, you were in for quite a treat.
The opening match featured a three-way bout between high-flying athletes. These men...
Here’s a friendly reminder that the price of postage will increase on July 14. Postal rates were last increased in January and have been on a steady rise over the last few years.
The increase in postage cost is largely due to the decreased volume of mail that post offices around the country are...
