Minnesota Memories 01/10/2026

Minnesota Memories The Minnesota Fishing Season Opener My memories of getting ready and getting out on the lake for face-to-face chats with my Dad. The shared joy of stories from the past. An upbeat force in a life that needed a boost. The Ojibwa Tribe calls it "Living the Good Life!" This drops at the same time of the tragedy in Minneapolis, so I am suggesting that this 2022 memory is what is needed right now. /episode/index/show/5abe4666-0032-427b-9c07-9a165876db84/id/39683370

Happy New Year 2026 01/02/2026

Happy New Year 2026 After an ugly 2025, the new year looks brighter. After a very close call with hip replacement surgery I have been resurrected by a local chiropractor. Hip injections, physical therapy and two doctor's opinions, I was scheduled for total left hip replacement on Nov. 17th. Really good insurance helps move that right along! A trip to a recommended chiropractor has me standing tall and feeling great. /episode/index/show/5abe4666-0032-427b-9c07-9a165876db84/id/39593480
