A Special Day with My Granddaughter

This past Saturday wasn’t just about basketball; it was a precious “Grandpa-Granddaughter” date. My oldest granddaughter, Adelyn—who is currently enjoying her senior year at Montevideo High School—and I set off for Brookings, South Dakota.

OUR PHONES!

This past week, my wife, Roxie, and I had a necessary conversation about the time we spend glued to our phones, especially at night.

FAVORITE FOODS

I was chatting with some friends this week about our favorite foods, which is apparently a deep and meaningful subject because now I’m writing a blog post about it. What I learned is that we’re all wildly different, and I can only assume it’s due to some sort of dietary trauma from childhood.

HOW AN EXTROVERT THRIVES

This past week was a perfect reflection of what I love about my life: its diversity and the wonderful people I get to connect with. If you know me, you know I’m a true extrovert—the opposite of my wonderful wife of 48 years, Roxie. I thrive and get energized from being around people. My week kicked off with some family time. I headed to the … Continue reading HOW AN EXTROVERT THRIVES
