Just missed the tornado in Hugo Minnnesota. Pulled over because I couldn’t see to drive with the heavy rain and hail. Ended up being a very good decision. When I got back on the road we were 100 yards from what looked like the path of something that went thru. Fresh leaves mulched along the [...]

It seems that consumers are interested in understanding the impact of what they’re buying on the environment. And the corporations know it. Walmart is positioning themselves as “green”…car companies, manufacturers, builders….all jumping on the bandwagon. If I hear another (insert company name or product here) is the new green I’ll puke.

I just finished reading Kevin Kling’s ‘The Dog Says How”. Especially delightful read for the midwesterners–particularly those Minnesotan kind. WAIT! I stand lurking on ebay, waiting for the pounce time on my Beatles lunchbox. Weighing the strategy of the other lurkers, having watched the only bid stand down for the last 2 hours. Now I’m [...]

Last night I attended the Ann Bancroft Foundation’s annual gala in Minneapolis. Always inspiring, always confirming the work we are doing with young girls as leaders in our communities, who’s reach goes way beyond our borders. Also acknowledging how much work there is to do with supporting girls to grow up as confident, strong, independent [...]
