Good morning from Collegeville,
At 4:01 PM yesterday, I began my 69th year. I celebrated my birthday by going to Jordie’s Trail Side Café in Bowlus for a free meal. Jordie cooked a great cheeseburger and I got a dish of Schwan’s chocolate ice cream instead of French fries. The city has built a replica of the train station across the street. It is a great place to have a party and Jordie will cater there. When the Lake Wobegon trail gets to Morrison County the named is changed to the Soo Line Trail. If you like walking or biking, you may want to drive to Holdingford and take the short trip on the trail to Bowlus. Tonight Barby and I are going to Russell’s on The Lake in Big Lake for walleye.
At 7:36 PM tonight a blue moon rises. According to Wikipedia, a blue moon can refer to either the third full moon in a season with four full moons, or the second full moon in a month. The term “blue moon” comes from folklore. A “blue moon” is also used colloquially to mean “a rare event”, reflected in the phrase “once in a blue moon”.
The APHC show this week is a mix of shows form Durango, Greeley, Loveland and Colorado Springs, Colorado with Robin and Linda Williams singing “Cool Water”, plus an episode of The Lives of the Cowboys in which Dusty and Lefty are mistaken for yuppies. The Durango Children’s Chorale will sing an ode to the women of Durango and The Hot Club of Cowtown plus The Haunted Windchimes sing “The Ballad of Human Progress”. In the news from Lake Wobegon, Bruno, The Fishing Dog, tears through Irene Bunsen’s tomato patch with devastating results. Enjoy the show.
If you are heading west on Interstate 94, stop at The Lake Wobegon Trail Gallery in Freeport. Award-winning photographer, Jack Ludwig Evens occupies the second floor of the big red barn with the brand new white metal roof. Easy exit, easy re-entry. On the web at www.ludwigphotographicart.com
