Good morning from Collegeville,

 We have not seen the sun for a long time. In this neck of the woods,  November is usually the cloudiest month of the year.  I feel for those who suffer from SAD.  I remember the time that after many, many days of no sunshine, the CEO of Fingerhut hired an airplane and along with a number of his key employees they flew above the clouds just to see what the sun looked like.  If I remember correctly the clouds broke the next day.  Ahh, the good old days of excess. 

The good news is that if the ultrasound operator knows her stuff, my son Erik and his wife Jena are going to have a baby boy in March.  I already have four granddaughters and a grand son would be wonderful.  They are planning to name him William but call him Willy.  That means that in 2023, when I am 79 years old, there will be three generations of Osberg men going fishing at Woody’s on the third weekend in June.  That is a good reason to keep on doing the exercises and getting the annual physical.

The show this week is a live broadcast from The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul.  A very special guest, Emmy Lou Harris and her Nashville band will join bluesman Spider John Koerner along with the usual cast of characters.  Enjoy the show. 

Classical pianist Chu Fang Huang will be at The Paramount Theater in downtown St. Cloud this Sunday at 2 PM.  MPR members get a discount on tickets.  Call 320-259-LINE.  I hope to see you there.
