WHY DO I BLOG?
I decided to grab another cup of coffee and sit down and write my blog on a rainy Saturday afternoon. As I sat down in my comfortable recliner and contemplated on what to blog about, I asked myself “Why do I write a blog each week?” Before I began writing this week’s blog I looked back over the 300 blogs that I have written and … Continue reading WHY DO I BLOG?
RAYMO’S SECOND CALLING! MOVE OVER, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS!
I had the absolute privilege of being at Pebble Creek Golf Course in Becker this past week to cover the State Class A golf tournament for KLQP. I have to tell you, this is hands-down one of my favorite high school sporting events of the entire year, and Pebble Creek is just the perfect stage for it. While I was driving my golf cart around … Continue reading RAYMO’S SECOND CALLING! MOVE OVER, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS!
SHOULD I RETIRE?
Should I retire? That is the question that has been keeping me up at night for the last few months. I’ll be 69 years old this September, and if I’m being completely honest, I think the biggest reason it’s on my mind is because a good number of my friends and family members are hanging it up. Everywhere I look, people are crossing the finish … Continue reading SHOULD I RETIRE?

LETTER TO MY 18 YEAR OLD SELF

What would I tell that young, sharp-looking 18-year-old—fresh out of high school, packed up, … Continue reading LETTER TO MY 18 YEAR OLD SELF
I LOVE A GOOD GRADUATION PARTY
What makes a great graduation party? The short answer: family, friends, awesome food and a graduate. Add a clear blue sky, temperatures in the 70s, and a calm breeze, and you have the perfect recipe to celebrate a graduate!

My son Brandon and his … Continue reading I LOVE A GOOD GRADUATION PARTY
A SLICE OF PIZZA HEAVEN
I have a deep-seated obsession with pizza. So, when my son-in-law Seth suggested we hit up a New York-style spot in Plymouth this past Saturday, I didn’t hesitate for a second: “Let’s go!” The place is called El Mar’s New York Pizza. Now, I’ve been to NYC a few times, but I honestly couldn’t tell you if I ever had an authentic slice there. I … Continue reading A SLICE OF PIZZA HEAVEN
