LN Life: JUMP! A dog-gone good time had by all!
At Dockdog games, just as in life, everybody roots for the underdog – and in this arena, they have just as good a chance as anyone to come home a winner.

THE LAST SLICE: Going to deer camp - or not
“Wouldn’t it be great if you could come with us to deer camp?” he asks.
My husband and our three sons are enlightened and possess a knowing and all-encompassing appreciation for deer camp. They love life in the woods. Trouble is, orange isn’t my color and I’ve grown accustomed to indoor plumbing. Plus, when I say I like eating out, I do not mean out in the woods.

BOOKLIGHT: "The Food of a Younger Land"
Mark Kurlansky’s “The Food of a Younger Land” is, as the subtitle describes it, “a portrait of American food – before the national highway system, before chain restaurants, and before frozen food, when the nation’s food was seasonal, regional, and traditional – from the lost WPA files.” It’s also a real treasure.

TRAVEL: Dude Ranch Vacations
A couple of summers ago I had the opportunity to visit a half-dozen dude ranches in Colorado. I was curious to see whether there was anything else for one to do but ride horses, and of course, I wondered what the food was like. Would it be chuck wagon chow? Beans and wieners?

BEST KEPT SECRETS: Scotch Tape was born in Two Harbors?
Well, yes, in a way it was. Take a trip up the shore to a little museum where the giant corporation 3M got its start. The building served as 3M headquarters until the company moved to St. Paul in 1916.

BEST KEPT SECRETS: Your Pod or Mine?
My obsession (kind of like Richard Dreyfuss’ in Close Encounters of the Third Kind) began in the fall of 1970 with a “Playboy” I found under my brother Glen’s bed. I brought it up in a family meeting about what to do with the derelict building we had just bought next door to our house in Chicago.
“Let's put a Futuro House there!” I said.

Walking on Water
In the land of 10,000 lakes, the one thing you can count on seeing in Minnesota is water. And while the vast views of Lake Superior, beach bonfires with s’mores, or a weekend at your favorite lake cabin are great ways to enjoy the area, we propose adding another water-themed activity to your agenda … walking on it.
