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 […]

So … when I started dating Sam again at the end of the summer, I posted the information on the blog before I told most of my family. It might have been before I told ANY of my family. A few of them grumbled about it — “We found out Marie was dating Sam again […]

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 […]
