Now is the time to get those home projects done. You’re at home more, might as well spruce it up. Plus you never know what surprises you might find in your home. I started re-organizing my bedroom yesterday, digging through boxes that have been sitting there forever. And I found something I completely forgot about. You might have noticed…
I know I’m grateful for little distractions to entertain me for a few minutes when we’re supposed to be social distancing. My social media feeds were filled with little cartoon versions of my friends this weekend. Facebook launched a new avatar feature. You make a little cartoon that looks like you, or not if you want, and you can…
I’ve really valued my afternoon runs during this pandemic. It’s a chance to forget all the doom and gloom headlines, get some fresh air, and stay fit in a way that’s pretty easy to maintain social distancing. Unless you run across a gang of these hooligans. I see a lot of turkeys when I run, but this was the…
A lot people are missing a lot of major milestones. An entire class of seniors had their graduation ceremonies taken from them. We’re having to celebrate birthdays and weddings through a screen. Thankfully, some of you are still getting to celebrate life’s big moments even while you’re protecting yourselves during the pandemic. Doug Beierle send in these gems. It’s…
We’ve been spending a lot of our mental efforts on staying safe from picking up the coronavirus when we go out into the world. Now, Fargo police are reminding us not to turn our backs on traffic safety dangers, too. May is bike safety, motorcycle safety and traffic safety awareness month. Good timing, because the message coincides with the return…

Gardens are big right now — or at least, a lot of people want them to be. Unfortunately, if you just couldn’t wait and went ahead with planting out, you might have a yard right now that looks a little more like you’re growing blankets than tomatoes and petunias. Our late-season frost struck hard at the hearts of seasoned gardeners…
Even some of the most basic things we do bring a whole rash of new questions this morning. Like, I think I need a haircut. It’s getting pretty raggedy. Even that little bit of growth is agony for TV news people. We’re taught to keep our hair locked in as tight as possible like our lives depend on it….
The temperatures are getting warmer and it’s looking real nice out a lot of the time. A lot of us are chomping at the bit to get out and get active. But that’s harder to do during a pandemic. The Fargo Marathon was supposed to be this weekend. Thousands of runners weren’t able to lace ’em up and run…
This will give you some hope heading into the weekend. They’re celebrating courageous COVID-19 survivors at Eventide in Fargo. That clip was Bernice crossing the finish line in the road to recovery. She’s joined by Marlene and Vicki who celebrated their own recovery. It is so inspiring to see these brave ladies make a full recovery! Their spirit can…
