Time is ours; spend it wisely
SAM COOK: It was the best kind of memorial service, full of tears and laughter and stories. Tragic as the reason for the occasion was, it allowed those of us who had lost a friend to experience the full range of emotions we needed to feel.

As sun returns, so does hope
SAM COOK: One moment, she had been sitting in her office at work, staring at her computer screen, bathed in weak fluorescent light. The walls were institutional gray, which is what her countenance had been when I stopped by.

Satisfied with signs of smoke
Sam Cook column: Like a lot of other non-Catholics, I suppose, I was fascinated once again this week by the smoke signals from the Sistine Chapel. Black smoke, no new pope yet. White smoke, new pope.

Watching the wolves
SAM COOK: I see the two dark forms up ahead, perhaps a half-mile down Round Lake off the Gunflint Trail. They are stationary, like two old anglers hunched over fishing holes on the ice. But that would be an odd place to see a couple of ice anglers, I think.

Shades of the many who paved the way
SAM COOK: We like to think we choose our own path in life, set our goals and make our way in the world. But sometimes we take for granted those who opened our eyes to new horizons, took a chance on us or provided course corrections along the way.

Sam Cook column: How much more of this can we endure?
Sam Cook column: Not again. There we were, once more, excised from our daily lives, punching up the horrific video online, watching the televised replays, tuned to the terrorism experts trying to provide perspective on yet another tale of terror.

Sam Cook column: Gun safety should be top priority for hunters in the field
SAM COOK COLUMN: In the pitch black of a November morning, three of us were getting ready to go deer hunting. I was still inside when I heard the unmistakable sound of a rifle report just outside the house.

Glow of holiday warms us still
SAM COOK: I rode the skis down the gentle drop and coasted out onto the surface of the pond. A weeknight just two days into the new year. A little after 9 p.m. I was alone on the ghostly white saucer of snow at the edge of town.

Performance-enhanced ice-fishing? Don’t be a dope
SAM COOK: Now comes word, from no less than the New York Times, that drug-testing has come to ice-fishing Let’s idle our jigging rods just long enough to ponder a few things.
