2019 Edition of “First Snow of the Year” – Hawksley Workman

It created a pretty magical “snow globe” effect at the Heritage Classic last night, continued to fall through the night and it’s always a bit of a judgement call but it feels like it’s time to do my annual post of this song as it feels like the snow is here to stay again for […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)

I’m super excited for the Heritage Classic outdoor NHL game (first regular season NHL game in a non-NHL city ever!) on Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Card House (December 2014)

It’s not quite “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” level decorating and I really should’ve gotten my butt up a ladder and extended the lights in that cedar tree in the front of our house right to the top. But I’ve always liked coming home to a snow-filled yard, some green and red floodlights, a blow-up decoration […]

For me, the main indicator of a “family farm” is any farm that has an owner who is a single individual (often including extended family members – a spouse, […]
