I need more people! See page eight for my hiring ad. If you need a job or a fun change of scenery, I have you covered. One of the very enjoyable parts of my 21 years of employment with the Simmons’ is wearing multiple hats.

It’s been fun guys, but it’s time for me to move to Dubia, and start a new life as a content creator online. This life change will allow me to become rich and live out my days without doing anything more than recording my face doing rich people things.

A long, long time ago, in a very mystical place, a handsome man bought a laptop and his beautiful bride was not happy. OK, it was actually about 16 or 17 years ago and the place was Best Buy Grand Forks, and to be perfectly honest, the man was not exactly handsome. In fact, he was me.

I don’t generally watch college basketball, except at this time of the year during the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments. The way my brackets have gone so far this year, it shows.

This isn’t the baby blues Transitioning to become a parent can be one of the most pivotal changes in a person’s life, and rarely are the hard moments surrounding this transition discussed. For example, did you know one in five women, and one in 10 men suffer from postpartum depression?

As I sit down to write, snacking on ham and crackers, I am reflecting on the events of last week and weekend. It was a whirlwind with the week being the final round of practices before the weekend’s annual ice skating shows.

“North Dakota Nice” - It’s a term I’ve heard for the last three years of living up north. When I first moved, I was a bit worried northerners wouldn’t have the “southern hospitality” I had been raised to learn and love. My worries were in vain.

Bocce, Swoop, and Left-Right-Center were the three games I learned during my all too brief visit to our Arizona home last week. I’ve been looking forward to learning how to play Bocce since we first decided to find a retirement retreat a few years ago.

I’ve been hunting upland game birds and waterfowl ever since I was old enough to get a license. Prior to that, since around age 8, I accompanied my dad and older brothers on many a hunt for pheasants and partridge.
