What Success Looks Like

Forget million dollar views and a corner office, I think success means working at a place where people are encouraged to bring their pets to work. Like this guy. His name is Velo, and he likes Sun Chips and sitting in your lap. He boosts my productivity.

View

This is the view I have from my office. Boats, water and sunshine. It is a good, good life.

Life is Good

This is the new love of my life. Her name is Clara. Clara Suzuki Boulevard S40. She's from Japan, and she makes me happy. More photos later.

My Mom Is a Mixer

Today is my mom's birthday. She passed away last year, and this is her first birthday in Valhalla, where all Vikings go when they die.

I don't have much from my mom in terms of material things, but I do have her KitchenAid mixer, one of her prized possessions. It will always have a place in my kitchen.

Happy birthday, Mom. I miss you more than you know. Skol!

Easy Rider

I completed my motorcycle certification test today. Watch for me, Seattle. I'm the one on the awesome cruiser with the big smile plastered across my face. You can't miss me.

The Empire

This is the Empire Tavern in downtown Fargo. If you were helping with the sandbagging efforts, you could drop by the Empire and have a Grain Belt. Or a Hamm's. You'd totally deserve it.

Keeping It Holy

I don't pretend to understand the overly religious. I guess everything has its place in this life, even sub-standard chocolate molded into the shape of prayer hands. I prefer my chocolate in martinis, but that's just me.

Ode to Magnolias

I love Magnolia trees. I love Magnolia tress in bloom. I love them so much that I will slam on my brakes and jump out of my truck to look at them. I love Magnolias. I love them almost as much as pretty girls and bald eagles. My heaven is filled with Magnolia trees, bald eagles, pretty girls and beer. And cheese. I can't wait to go to heaven.

Special bikes for special folks

Bike outside of Linda's. You go, Special Ed.

My Accountant

Hey lady, I've done your taxes, and you are so screwed.
