Just a thought - Eli Lutgens
I am more than two months through twice a week physical therapy sessions, which meant it was time to ‘reaccess’ prior to my last session.
During the prior week there was a bit of setback; I hurt myself during one of the exercises.
It was a very simple resistance stretch, but it was...
Last Saturday, May 30, 2026, I had the pleasure of enjoying some of the best baseball I have seen in a very, very long time.
In my life, I have witnessed or participated in some roughly 2,000 baseball games. Hundreds, maybe a thousand Twins games. Oh so many games played from little league...
I was able to enjoy Graduation and baseball this weekend without feeling completely and utterly exhausted. This was the first year since I played high school baseball where I didn’t have more work than I felt there were hours in the day.

I had the responsibility to photograph this year’s NRHEG prom. The teens were a pleasure to work...
Over the past month, I have had numerous health complications.
This past week I battled Influenza B.
A visit to the doctor Thursday confirmed this. Despite having what I described as the worst sore throat of my entire life, the doctor was impressed my throat looked so good. I will...
Winning a state championship is hard.
Waseca County schools sent three teams to the state basketball tournament this season.
The NRHEG girls, JWP boys and Waseca boys.
For the girls, they lost their Miss Basketball finalist to injury in the section finals. It took a heroic,...
I have been enjoying a great number of stories via Audible this year. Audible is an application which reads stories to the listener.
Editor Deb talked to me numerous times about the benefits of listening to stories as opposed to reading them. (Not that she or I don’t still read.)
