Mindy Greiling, state rep for St. Anthony, Lauderdale, and Roseville, just stopped by to say ‘Hi’. I was in the basement organizing my tool shop (more on that later) when she rang the doorbell. I’m glad I took a moment to meet her.

The 5th Congressional District Race from My Corner
A couple weeks back, the family and I checked out the St. Anthony Village VillageFest parade (How could we not?). Of course, the candidates for the 5th District were there – well…I shook hands with Ember Reichgott Junge (points for a cool sign and strong German name) and Mike Erlandson (points for Sabo endorsement). I […]
How ‘Bout Just the Lot?
As expected, the contractor that bought our old place is now selling the lot. If you were interested in the location, but not so much the house itself. It is now a blank canvas. Build as you wish. Reminds me of scene from the Chevy Chase classic Fletch Lives (which, coincidentally, I saw at the […]
The Old House Has Been Demo’d
This morning we grabbed some coffee, put Cooper in his stroller, and took a walk up the block to watch the old house get knocked down. Hopeful is the only word that comes to mind. More photos here and here on Cooper’s site.

Just heard sometime on Friday our old house will be demolished. Good thing too, we’re pretty sure the place has gone feral since we left.

In addition to burritos, crack stone creamery, and a handful of other less than […]
Two Tough Cats
Jen’s been adding more words to the photos over at Cooper’s site. My two recent favorites: Things the realtor didn’t show us You talkin’ to me?
What a Difference 3 Blocks Makes
We’ve been in the new place about a week now, and I’m amazed at the difference 3 blocks makes. Seriously, from 2700 block of 31st to the 2900 block of 30th. All week, there’s been kids riding bikes, shooting hoops, and we’ve met half our neighbors. Rock on. Speaking of rocks. We’re deep into the […]
I Know How Aurthor Dent Felt
Woke up this morning to the road construction crew sawing through cement. Wondering why it’s so loud, I wander half-awake through the house, to discover they’re inches from the Neon – sawing though my driveway. Just outta sight are three giant Caterpillar road construction monsters. Damn Vogons.
Move On Down the Street
