I’ve lived in Faribault my entire life but my wife and I enjoy traveling all around Minnesota as well as the surrounding states. When I’m not at work I’m usually spending time with my grandchildren and my grown children. I enjoy going to watch the Vikings, especially at US Bank Stadium, concerts, taking my wife to various musicals and going out to eat… I really enjoy that, as my bathroom scale can attest. I love music and spend a lot of time on the weekends looking for CDs of big hair bands that I don’t currently have in my collection.

Don’t Throw a Fit, Throw an Axe
Fun fact: Today is International Axe Throwing Day, that's right, International, as in celebrated around the world. Nothing as pathetic as just a national day. With this in mind, why aren't you outside throwing axes right now?
