I've completed seven running marathons, an 87 mile inline race, countless inline marathons, a triathlon (even though I still can't swim), and many more challenging races.

Sound Off: Minnesota musicApril 24, 2008 - 1:01pm — BakerBlogMinnesota is arguably as melodious as any state in the union.

Numbers for thought on Central CorridorApril 23, 2008 - 12:40pm — sfieckeAs a former daily traveler of University Avenue between St. Paul and Minneapolis, I always thought that if any place made since for a light rail line, that would be it. The road is super busy and is a major conduit between the cities, with much of the population likely to use transit. I just received the following group e-mail from Rep. Mark Buesgens, R-Jordan, in which he makes some good points about the cost of the project.
