A week from now, on August 1, I will hop on my bike and pedal from Southdale shopping center in Edina, Minnesota to Treasure Island Resort and Casino near Red Wing, Minnesota.

My wife Kari and I went to see Blue October in concert at First Avenue on June 25th. It was the second time we have seen them together at that particular venue, which I like to think of as “The House that Prince built.” Yes, I’m a geek…and a huge Prince fan. But I digress. [...]
