temperatures and above average rainfall in my mind tells me, I’m not leaving the house very much. Last year, I attempted a full moon hike at Icelandic State Park- I say attempted because I did not make it very far. I quickly grew tired of my face hurting and falling in holes in the snow.

I’m penning this week’s column as I sit at gate C26 in Minneapolis awaiting my final flight to Grand Forks, culminating a week’s long adventure that took me to New Zealand for our fall broadcaster’s group convention.

So, call me weird. These days, folks like to binge-watch their favorite series like Yellowstone or Game of Thrones or the Sopranos.Not me, when I have some spare time I like to watch shows with some historical context, so I browse through documentaries on my favorite streaming service.

At about 3:15 am this morning, I woke up and for some odd reason I started thinking about this column. I came up with a topic, decided what I wanted to say (in my head), came up with a fitting intro and was very impressed with myself.I told myself I should get out of bed and write it down.

Monday afternoon, I was leaving the Langdon office. I knew I hadn’t had lunch, and I knew I wanted a snack for the ride home, and I needed to figure out an idea for dinner. I fully believe the worst part of being an adult is having to decide what to fix for dinner each night.

No recent column of mine has gathered the response like what came from This, That and Other Stuff which appeared in the 9/26 issue of this paper. Here are a handful of the many comments – are one of these yours?

It has come to my realization, that we are far too “plugged in” at my house. As a parent, I have avoided things like an iPad for entertainment in a restaurant, or YouTube playing on a screen in my car to keep the kids quiet.When I had little kids, that control over digital content was easy.

Thanks for your concern, but yes, I’m still here. In a whirlwind of staff changeover I found myself overwhelmed with too much on my plate once again so I reached out to my contacts at The Borderland Press (our parent newspaper) for help and was directed to Rebecca Davis.
