Today, Eric and I walked in the Richfield 4th of July parade with the Richfield Historical Society, since Jodi is the Director over there and needed minions. I'm good at being a minion...you have to be good at being a minion to be a good leader. I got a sweet t-shirt and drank lots of water and Gatorade in the blazing sun (temp was 98F with a ( Read more... )

Well, this is kind of exciting! What I really want to do is go running, but I'm pretty tired today and have a lot of housework to catch up on, so I'm forcing myself not to ( Read more... )

Hi, all. The annual motley baseball party is back by popular demand! We will be playing this Saturday at 2:00 P.M. at Newell Park . Bring beverages, sun screen, and gloves if you got em. We have one bat and a couple baseballs. This is for fun and amusement, no actual talent is required! Last year was a blast. None of us were particularly athletic, ( Read more... )
