What was it really like growing up in the 1960s and 70s, in a northern mill town? ! This was the start of the space age and the advent of the swinging 60s, of the Beatles, and the Moon landing. My memoir of those times has been published. Available from Amazon and other bookshops.

Book Cover for How to Build a Snowman and Other Stories. It shows a young boy and the snowman he has built.

Me: “Why do you think ‘Succession’ was such a big show?

Arian Moayed/'Stewy': "Because the truth of ‘Succession’ dials into what we’re witnessing every day in our news cycles. There’s an elite group of 10 to 15 people that run everything."

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

I don't know what's coming next. It's so often a lonely journey trying to understand this world and all its contradictions, and to wonder if there is any truth, or any light I can aim for, that will give me comfort.

It’s that time again.

I don’t know if there are any Des Moines natives of advanced age but I feel like the Ingersoll Theater played “Sound of Misic” for multiple years in the ‘60s … www.startribune.com/john-gaspard...

That time ‘Harold and Maude’ ran at Edina theater so long that people picketed

Local nonfiction: Minneapolis writer John Gaspard, who was an usher at the Edina venue, wrote a book about the historic run.
