I got a phone call from Kyle Friday afternoon. He was out looking at places to rent, trying to move out from our house. It’s been just about a year and a half since he moved back in with us, and it took him almost a full year to start steady employment. The good news…
Part of me doesn’t know where to begin. In a way I’m still processing the event. The Replacements got back together and performed live. I was excited when they recorded a couple of new songs a few years ago, but to see them live? Well, I thought it would never happen. Yet there I was,…
Monday morning I emailed my doctor. Something was going on that worried me and I wanted to set up an appointment. Thing is, because I’m the stay at home parent child care is an issue and if there were tests to be done I wanted to make sure arrangements were made. I wasn’t prepared for…
I don’t remember when it was that I was introduced to The Replacements. What strikes me is odd was how my best friend didn’t introduce me to the band at all. He hailed from Minneapolis and introduced me to Husker Du and The Ramones (along with a bunch of other musical stuff), but it was MTV…

So I posted about my entire weekend at Bumbershoot 2014 as viewed through my twitter stream, but that was not the whole story. The 3 day pass was a Father’s Day present. I wasn’t able to travel to see The Replacements (more on that in a later post) but the band was a featured headliner…
Last weekend I was given tickets to attend Bumbershoot as my Father’s Day gift. I had a great time and was able to take August and Dela on Saturday then Kyle and I went on Monday. Sunday was all me, and it was fantastic. I have a lot to write about, as well as a…
