A half century of Saturday Night Live was commemorated last Sunday night. Many lives have been impacted over the course of that production run, whether it be the producer, cast members, hosts, or viewers.

While it’s very hard to convince the blind of the fact, the importance of visual art in this life cannot be overstated. Visual art is as limitless as the human imagination, seen with the eyes but felt in the bones, speaks to the mind but beats with a heart. Some say the visual art of Mark Rothko were made for the soul.

Monday was the start of a new career adventure for me, Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch’s editor stepped away from the paper so between now and when a new editor starts I will be filling in as an interim editor for Sleepy Eye. While doing this adds another paper for me to work on each week and proof every Wednesday, I will still be giving St. James what you are all used to from me. The only thing that may be different is how busy I am during office hours, they will stay the same but I may be bouncing in and out to make sure I have all I need for each paper done.

What is the most amazing thing you have ever done?

Alex messengers author visit to Northside and the mentioning of 4th graders reading hatchet brought me back to the love of reading I had while i elementary school. from first grade until the middle of middle school I read thousands of books. Horace May the elementary school I attended in Bemidji was huge on reading, especially the teachers I had. My first grade teacher Mrs. Morrison had nearly a whole library in her room, she even allowed her students to come in during morning recess to come in and read.

Life depending where you are in tends to throw curve balls or just straight strikes at you. (Look at me not even a sports writer throwing in some sports analogies). As most people, that has been my and Dillon’s life on and off since last April when he and his brother started the process of moving their mom into a memory care facility.

A new semester, and a new challenge.
