Another successful Cattle Sale is behind us. We sold 1544 head for a total of $5,332,698.73. I haven’t taken the time to compare it to our last sale, but I think the prices were a bit softer but still good compared to past years. Like I say every sale, this […]

We were sitting at the kitchen table, the young hockey player and me. He was home alone, at the hockey household where he was staying. His “house mother” was the former wife of one superstar, and the mother of another. He was living in the shadow of what is still […]

It was a Tuesday night, the kind of late spring evening that isn’t quite warm yet but carries the conjuring of seasonal change. My best friend Dan and I merged onto Interstate 94 with purpose. A mission. A destination. The goal was simple: Tool’s long-awaited album Lateralus was being released […]
We are at our children’s home in Calgary as I write this column. Winter arrived Saturday night and seems intent on staying for a few days. When we travel, the electronics come with us. I have a computer. My wife has a computer. My Android watch and our cell phones […]
DID YOU KNOW? ‘Tis the season for spooky creatures to appear, but with it fast approaching, don’t you fear! Though friendly ghosts will soon fill the air … safety’s a thing we must constantly share! Hallowe’en can be an exciting time for children, but the thrill of costumes and treats […]
I am hoping that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Now, after three days of eating, visiting it is time to get back to business. I was able to get my cows and calves home on Friday night. They will come for hay and this time of the year and […]

It was a wonderful October weekend — perhaps a fitting close to summer. This coming weekend marks Canada’s Thanksgiving, a time to pause and appreciate all that we have across the district. It may well have been the best year ever for corn; we’re still enjoying sweet cobs from the […]
Without doubt, it’s the most famous pitching performance in World Series history and without a doubt, that’s never likely to change. This week is the 69th anniversary of the perfect game pitched by a mediocre New York Yankees right-hander, Don Larsen. The only perfect game pitched in the Series has […]

There is an incredibly special place—a short southbound drive from our beautiful borderland, just past the town of Eveleth. Equal parts sanctuary, summons, and spark. It is a place of pilgrimage I’ve returned to for the last twenty years for silent reflection. On October 4, 2025, I again walked the […]
