I always wanted my name painted on the office door.
The latest East Side Review hits my step with a page one (below the fold) summary of the continuing foibles of the Maplewood Minnesota City Council and their embattled interim City Manager, Greg Copeland. The short of it is that the Maplewood City Council received the required background check concerning Copeland, but it may contain information [...]
Most people, when sending an email to a large group of people, simply go to their To: or Cc: field and start entering names. This is dreadful. It’s terrible. You must never do this. Why? Because if I am one of fifty people in that list of recipients, then you have just shared my email address [...]
…yearningly remembering her days of beauty and attention. My blog traffic is back to normal. Normal is nice. I’m actually always surprised at how many folks drop by and linger for a while.

My friend Amy brought up the fracas concerning the DeLaSalle school athletic fields at Nicollet Island.

In tougher times it could have fled to [...]
