guitar hero is just *before* the beat

So each of my brothers’ households (all the nephews, I think) has Guitar Hero as well as DDR.  This week as I’m travelling across Minnesota visiting two of the families, I’ve had a chance to practice up on DDR — and learn and master Guitar Hero. OK, maybe “master” is too strong.  But I’m at […]

Bad sport:  didn’t leave […]

I’m a bi-vegetarian

My mother is so cute sometimes. She’s terribly excited that I’m seeing Sam again, but she’s trying very hard to stay calm, cool and collected. Sam works oddball hours so wasn’t able to come up to Superior for Thanksgiving, but people know I’m seeing him again so they asked about him.
Sam has a daughter […]
