Column: Glad the groundhog got it wrong
As I scrawl these words on a lovely evening, smoke from my woodstove wafts from the chimney and twists up and through large snowflakes falling like feathers. It’s snowing again, as it did the weekend prior, and I welcome it as if it were manna from heaven.

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.

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.

MORNING UPDATE: Northland winter recap: warm, wet, not so wild
Seven extra inches of snow in February and a stretch of sub-zero nights might have made it seem like a good old-fashioned winter in the Northland, but the numbers show it was pretty wimpy after all.

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. Mainly, how in the world could performance-enhancing drugs improve your ice fishing? More animated jigging action? Better control of your power auger?

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.

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.
