My first visit to Minnesota was in 1991 when I went on a bike tour with a crazy bunch of high school and college aged folks. It was a ten-day tour through the southeastern portion of the state. I barely made it into the Twin Cities, but from that moment, I was in love. Maybe [...]

Everything but the kitchen sink

When you have a baby, there is no “just picking up and going” anywhere. There’s stuff to be packed. Babies require accessories.
Headed south
by Amy on 04. Mar, 2008 in My Every Day
Lots of nothing going on. Where do I begin? We spent the weekend in Detroit with my family while I played in a tournament. Lost all three games, but we were totally outclassed in the last two. Saturday night it was evident we were NOT going to be championship game-bound, but the team had a [...]
Northern hospitality
by Amy on 11. Feb, 2008 in My Every Day
If only I could control the weather. Pat’s been held up in “a place that begins with M” for two days. He is supposed to be on the flight that lands in about 40 minutes. His luggage was supposed to arrive on the earlier flight. I suppose if he doesn’t make it, I could hang [...]
Adolescent Target fun

2006 Holiday Recap
by Amy on 03. Jan, 2007 in My Every Day
It was a great time spent with all of our family and some of our friends. Sure, U of M blew it big time and I came back to find out that I might have three months tops left on my contract, but why dwell on the negative? While cleaning The Abyss (aka Scott’s room) [...]
Let there be peace on earth
by Amy on 30. Dec, 2006 in My Every Day
We’ve been shopping nonstop since arriving in St. Paul. Rosedale Mall, downtown St. Paul (I love Grand Avenue), you name it. Tomorrow I take Scott to his first ever professional football game over at the Dome (Vikings are playing the Rams). The other thing we’ve been doing nonstop? Eating. Pat baked for two days straight [...]
Merry Christmas Eve
by Amy on 24. Dec, 2006 in My Every Day
Newman’s been having a blast this Christmas, if a fun time includes following Kramer around everywhere and humping him at every possible opportunity. Ah, good holiday times. The family thing each Christmas Eve includes packing everyone into the car and heading off to church in the evening. In years past, it’s always been tied in [...]
Thank you, Stout
by Amy on 02. Dec, 2006 in My Every Day
Wow, I know mapquest sucks, but my trip, which was estimated to take about six hours, took five. This is also taking into account that the roads were snowy and shitty until I got behind the Cheddar Curtain. I’m not exactly complaining, as the extra time to unwind has been nice. Free wi-fi at the [...]
All-American 2006
by Amy on 20. Nov, 2006 in My Every Day
We rolled in around 3AM this morning from a weekend out in St. Paul. My hockey team played in this tournament at this mega sportsplex and took a somewhat respectable 4th place, losing to Iowa State in the consolation game. It came down to the last minute of play, with a bad bounce in front [...]
