Good morning from Collegeville,
The water was flowing in the streets this week and that gave us some hope for spring. It is a dangerous time of the year. I stepped onto an icy patch on Wednesday morning and my feet were doing things that they were not intended to do. I didn’t know that I was capable of doing a triple axel. The Russian judge only gave me a six. I managed to stay upright but I pulled some muscles that were just simply not used to being employed. Today I feel fine, so no big deal. Do be careful, falling can cause broken bones.
We are taking a day off on Monday to honor George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Erik and I plan on going out on the ice to sit in a house and try and catch a few walleye. He is a banker in Deer Creek, so he has the day off also and he knows of a spot on Otter Tail Lake that is supposed to be a producer. With any luck we will be back in Wadena that evening with something for the frying pan.
The show this week is live from the Physical Education Center on the campus of the U of M Morris. Special guests include the U of M Morris Concert Choir, fiddle champions Catie Jo Pidel and sisters Deena and Sedra Bistodeau and master of the singing saw, Andy McCormick. The Royal Academy of Radio Actors and the All Star Shoe Band will be there as well. I hope to see you at the show. There are still tickets available. www.morris.umn.edu
If you don’t want to venture out of town you can take in the Night of the Stars variety show at The Paramount Theater, www.paramountarts.org in St. Cloud or you can be amazed by Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) at Escher Auditorium on the campus of College of Saint Benedict, www.csbsju.edu/finearts
