    Just finished “A Fever in the Heartland” by Timothy Egan. It’s about the explosive resurgence of the KKK in the Midwest in the early to mid 20s. A timely read.

    The Medical Thread: We're experts on everything else; why not?

    With our first two kids, I would play UND's hockey fight song, til Mrs. burd realized that it made them want to drink and fight. That was the beginning of me caving on pretty much every important issue in our marriage. I'm sure you will not let that happen.

    The Last Trial, by Scott Turow. Worth the read. Pretty faithful to how jury trials really work.

    Wonderful. Congrats. Now remember: In the time it takes to dream a short dream, that child will be going off to college.

    Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

    I was somehow more entertained than insulted by Old Pio, as offensive as his comments were.

    Minnesotans Arguing About the Weather IV: Niño or Niña, My Joints Stopped Trying

    Are you still in the Boston area? Anything near 95 there has to be rough. A month ago I was in northern No Dak for a week. Temp went from 99 on day one to 30s and small snowflakes in the air 6 days later.
