WITH all due deference to lipstick, let’s advance the story. A week ago the question was: Is Sarah Palin qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency? The question today: What kind of president would Sarah Palin be? It’s an urgent matter, because if we’ve learned anything from the G.O.P. convention and its [...] As I’ve often said before, on my About page and elsewhere, I was baptized and raised a member of the Lutheran church (Mount Olivet, in fact.The big kahuna of ELCA congregations in North America) but many years ago I fell away from Lutheranism, and from Christianity, and from all forms of organized religion. I [...] Hi-ho, readereenos. By way of introducing an interesting post I read today over at ZenHabits, I think it’s about time I gave you all a brief overview of the current life situation of your kindly old Auntie Tild.

General Information: 612-332-1775 or info@first-avenue.com This year I’ve got Friday the 8th off, so I’m heading downtown early [...] And now for something completely different: While we’re still in the apres election afterglow, let’s veer off the path a while and reflect on the fact that it was 31 years ago today that the gales of November claimed the oreboat Edmund Fitzgerald and all 29 souls aboard.
