- Sometimes You Smell Bad
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] Everyday on the way to school we would take a different route. We were only 4 blocks away from the school, so there weren’t a lot of different ways to go. Normally our first stop was the Co-op with the grain elevator. We stopped in there for penny candy and then walked up Eleventh Avenue and down Sixth Street to Beaser Elementary.
One day early in the fall when I was in second grade we decided that after the Co-op, we would take a long way around to school through the swamp. To this day don’t know why we wanted to go through the swamp, but we did. Everything is an adventure when you are seven years old.
- Big Heroes - Little People
[Arts-and-Entertainment:Humor] As the minutes ticked by we all were nervous and excited. When you grow up on Lake Superior, warm spring days are a huge deal. You can actually run and play and not worry about getting cold. It was perfect weather for hopscotch games or Chinese jump rope. We absolutely loved playing those games as kids. Those were the video games of my youth. You couldn’t do it inside or alone.
- Did You Bring a Shovel?
[Health-and-Fitness:Back-Pain] The snow in the road was higher than my truck. It was about 9-10 feet deep in the middle of the road. I stopped the truck and put it in park.
And this is where it gets interesting.
