Cajun Lucy (Jucy Lucy), originally uploaded by edkohler. This is my first stop in what could turn into an epic trip around the Twin Cities in search of the best Jucy Lucy. For those who aren’t in the know, a Jucy Lucy is a cheeseburger where the cheese is on the INSIDE of the burger. [...]
Mineral Water, originally uploaded by edkohler. As of the day after Thanksgiving, I’ve gone off soda – or should I say “pop?” Either way, no Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Coke Zero, Diet Coke Vanilla, Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, C2, etc. This is my next 30-day challenge after the vegetarian thing that wrapped up on T-day.

I received a notice today from my good friends at AAdvantage Dining. It’s a rewards program offered by American Airlines’ miles program where I earn miles for dining at restaurants in their network. Apparently, I haven’t been picking the right restaurants so I got a slap on the wrist and warning that I would lose [...]
I figure day to day life in Iraq much be pretty rough. With limited access to power, thus refrigeration, things we take for granted like drinkable milk in the refrigerator become impossible.

Other than those two, the biggest challenge I’ve encountered is the lack of light. My commute from Eden Prairie to Minneapolis [...]
Imagine the gall of this woman putting up a Christmas wreath in the shape of a peace symbol during the run-up to the holiday celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace. The Colorado woman pictured, Lisa Jensen, was threatened with a $25/day fine for displaying this sign of peace on her home. Apparently, peace [...]
I bought a can of Mendota Sparking Water when I got to work today to wet my whistle (I’m off soda through Christmas). However, the can was warm. How disappointing! I figure the Coke machine must have just been refilled before I purchased it. In other news, before leaving work last night I purchased a [...]
I’m heading to San Francisco for a business trip next week. You know, that crazy left-wing town represented by people like Nancy Pelosi – the Grandmother of five who’s going to drag our country into the gutter, unlike Newt Gingrich, Ted Haggard, and Tom Delay who prefer American’s to as they say rather than follow [...]
If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer for a loved one, here’s something to consider: This is a USB jump drive, but it comes with a 2GB SD card, so it’s both an SD card reader and a jump drive. It can be used to transfer files between computers. The SD card could be used [...]
