Dan in La Crosse

A Midwestern voice in the Midwest. Once I lived in China and was Dan in China, a Midwestern voice in the Far East. Now I live in La Crosse and am Dan in La Crosse, a Midwestern voice in the Midwest. How novel.

Bedlam in Minneapolis

As I was going into cuss-filled, hypertensive convulsions during the fourth quarter of the Wolves' near-collapse on Wednesday (Thursday morning here), I clicked over to my email and, shew, found some great news from Minneapolis: my mom, the Media Specialist (today's term for "librarian") at Lyndale Elementary School in Minneapolis, received a Laura Bush Grant for School Libraries, effective 2004. More about it can be found at this link:

Double shew, the Wolves defied their Minnesota heritage and, miraculously, didn't break our hearts. Raucous cheering broke out on the streets of downtown Minneapolis to celebrate the Wolves' win. Silent reading will more frequently break out in my mother's library, not far from downtown Minneapolis, as a result of her hard work in securing this grant. To both winners, hats off!
