I was reading about the disparity between single men and single women in Stanley, North Dakota in the Forum yesterday. It seems all the hardworking oil workers that have transcended upon the area are a bit lonely and looking for dates amongst the local female population. This is apparently cutting into the male locals' territory [...]

The beauty that arises out of a commitment to culture and expression…
Last night I was fortunate to be able to see the Ragamala Dance Theatre (see http://www.ragamala.net/) and the Wadaiko Ensemble Tokara (see http://www.tokara.net/) perform at MSUM.

I was at Kohl's last week and they had a sale where different panty styles were available (e.g., thongs, tangas, boy cut panties) for [...]
Choose happiness…
Awhile ago I had notecards made that say - "Choose Happiness..." - and every time I look at them I am reminded that every day we are allowed a choice in our life of what path we walk. Some days it is easier to take the path - because the sun is shining brightly and [...]
