The prodigal son returns to Minneapolis.  It is official #4 will be our quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.  We all felt deep down that he would be back.  At 80% ability in his ankle, we want the man.  Bret just likes to watch people hold their breath. Three of our veteran players few down to ...

This past weekend I held open houses in Minneapolis.  The traffic was good, the people through liked the house, but they said they were scared to buy. I asked these people why when interest rates are at 4.25% were they scared to buy.  Get this, they said they read in the newspaper that house pric...

This past week with our heat staying in the 90's ,we have had massive thunderstorms in the late afternoons and evenings.  These are powerful storms that are thrilling to view, but these storms have done damage which is heart breaking.  I feel these storms symbolize what is happening in the Minne...

It is hot in Minneapolis.  Our entire summer has been hot and August looks like it will be the same.  I love the sun and heat. When I am outside that heat beating on me feels so good.  Living in Minneapolis I guess I am a rare breed.  When it gets 80 degrees plus the "natives" start complaining....

60% of the letter carriers in Minneapolis have agreed to rescue the residents of Minneapolis if a biological attack happened.  Yes, Minneapolis is the first city in the United States to set-up this system.  I feel safe. The letter carriers had to have a physical and agree to shave any facial hai...

  Rosacea is a common skin disorder.  If you have that red tone to your skin don't feel alone.  Over 14 million Americans have it. My concern is that people just live with it rather than do something about it.  Don't try to hide it behind makeup. Do something so you feel good about yourself. Real...

  As I show houses in Minneapolis I always am interested in how art work is displayed on the walls.  The sellers might not even think about it, but those pictures and how they are arranged say a great deal.  This is where a stager or someone who knows something about art work can help.  I know en...

Not me, but hundreds of people got in line on Wednesday the 23rd about 2:30 in the afternoon on Hennepin Ave in downtown Minneapolis at the I phone store to get the 4th generation model that was going on sale.  I went by the store and it looked like a party going on.  It was not as crazy as wait...

Somewhere I have read that Orlando, Florida is the lightening capital of the U. S. I am guessing that the humidity of the area causes mother nature to act that way.  Many are surprised when they learn in Minneapolis we have our share of summer storms.  This year we had to wait until June 17th fo...

  Summer has started here in Minneapolis officially, but we started playing like it was summer the day the ice went out on our lakes.  After so many months of cold and snow we play hard during the spring and summer months.  The city of Minneapolis has so much to offer, that we don't have to go fa...
