It's really just the story of a wandering journeyman (redundant). Raised in Minneapolis. Worked in Duluth, MN (very cold!) and starting moving south--St. Cloud, MN, then Mankato, MN, then...
Des Moines!

A survey by PRS for Music asked men which songs most likely would make them cry?
I agree with most of the list, giving Honorable Mention to "Breathe (2AM)" by Anna Nalick and an oldies tune by Simon & Garfunkel called "A Most Peculiar Man."
According to the survey, the Top Ten Songs that make men cry the most:
1) R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts."
2) Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven."
3) Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."
4) Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U." (written by Prince)
5) U2's "With or Without You."
and rounding out the top ten is:
6) The Vere's "The Drugs Don' t Work"
7) Sir Elton John's "The Candle in the Wind"
8) Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia"
9) Todd Duncan's "Unchained Melody"; a tune covered by the Righteous Brothers and Hall & Oakes, too.
10) Robbie Williams' "Angels."

"THE DEER MAGNET"
Tuesday 07-27-2010 3:09pm CT
We've all either hit a deer or come darn close, but you have to have sympathy for this poor woman who is now being called "The Deer Magnet."
This story has been picked up by the Associated Press and has gone national. Poor Kacee. My sympathies.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A central Iowa teen has earned the nickname "The Deer Magnet" after hitting five deer in the past year. Seventeen-year-old Kacee Larson of Conrad said her string of bad luck began last July when she was driving home from her job at an ice cream shop. She saw the deer an instant before hitting it.
Larson's second collision happened a few months later, while she was driving to church on a Sunday morning.
The streak continued. After Larson hit her fourth deer, her pastor's wife advised her to start praying before she got into a vehicle.
Larson says was doing just that Friday when she hit her fifth deer. The crash totaled her minivan, and the air bag left bruises on her arms.
Larson said she can't help asking: "Why me?"
April 15th
Wednesday 04-14-2010 10:31pm CT
I have written before on this blog of one of my great loves. Tonight, for Titanic "geeks," it is the most solemn of night's. The great liner, labeled "practically unsinkable," would strike an iceberg at 11:40 PM ship's time, be fatally wounded, and sink at 2:20 AM, with a loss of more than 1,500 souls. At the time, the worst maritime disaster in history. Only 705 people survived. Those who did survive owe their lives to the heroics of the radio operators of Titanic who summoned aid. This day also marks the death of our 16th president. President Abraham Lincoln, attending a play called "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre on Good Friday, April 14th, 1865 (four days after the end of the Civil War), was fatally shot by John Wilkes Booth. The president would die the morning of April 15th--the first American president to be assasinated.
AMY WINEHOUSE IMMORTALIZED

in Legos! British artist Justin Ramsden (shown here with his creation), took two weeks and 3,000 Lego bricks to create this sculpture of Amy Winehouse; as you see, complete with her signature beehive.
Justin told the UK's Daily Telegraph, "I like the fact that although Lego is all bricks and angular, you can still create curves and artistic designs."
