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?

It’s a time to … Continue reading TAKE A SELFIE LATELY

BAD COLD AND STATE BASKETBALL
State basketball at Williams Arena in March is an amazing time. Thanks to the Minneota Vikings girls’ basketball team I’ve been lucky enough to experience broadcasting state basketball in the cities for many years. Last year we were at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis, this year we were back at Williams Arena on the campus of the University of Minnesota. I much prefer Williams Arena … Continue reading BAD COLD AND STATE BASKETBALL
