Alarm Clocks

November 9, 2010 by dkreitzberg

I did a bit of traveling last week, different hotels in different cities. Invariably, I would get up early to get some work in before my meetings. And as I worked, I would begin hearing the incessant beeping of alarm clocks going off in unoccupied … [Continue reading]

A morning not fishing

September 27, 2010 by dkreitzberg

This weekend, I took my daughter to our family place in Montana. She had not been there in three years and I had promised to take her over the summer, but the work got too crazy. So we settled for a long weekend and a little hooky from school. We … [Continue reading]

Death by Dashboard

August 28, 2010 by dkreitzberg

Don’t Be Tofu!

June 28, 2010 by dkreitzberg

My wife is experimenting with vegetarian cooking. And tofu plays a major role in a lot of dishes. "The thing about tofu," my wife said, "is that it tastes just like whatever you cook it with. If you cook it with celery, it will taste like celery, … [Continue reading]

Baptism in Lake Superior

June 25, 2010 by dkreitzberg

On Saturday I completed my first marathon, Grandma's Run in Duluth, MN.  My standing joke had been that, given my size, I'd be in the Clydesdale's weight divison and given my inexperience, I'd be in the back of the Clydesdales making me the horse's … [Continue reading]

Poncho and Lefty

March 4, 2010 by dkreitzberg

For the past six months I've had a cd by Townes Van Zandt recycling through my car stereo.  I have a few other cds as well, most of which I enjoy but also most of which my wife is tired of hearing over and over. But I keep come back to Townes who … [Continue reading]
