Free Wine

My wife and I would like to have a garage sale in the next couple of weeks. We don't want to spend much money to advertise the garage sale, but we want to steal an idea we saw. A couple of years ago on highway 61 near Wabasha we saw an interesting sign advertising free beer at a garage sale. It looked like they had a lot of people stop at their garage sale - I wonder if that would work in Jordan?


Foo Fighter Dilema

The Foo Fighters are one of my favorite bands, and they are in concert Wednesday night at Target Center. I bought tickets 2 months ago and have been anxiously awaiting the concert. The tickets are in an awesome location too. Plus I've never been to a concert before so this would be my first one. I'd love to go.

My problem - getting a Babysitter. I've been asking my parents a lot lately to watch my kids, and I feel guilty having to ask them again.


Spending Trends of a Millionaire

In the book "The Millionaire Next Door" a research company decided to survey millionaires. For the first interviews they had caviar, expensive wines, champagne, and import beer to offer the millionaires. When the first millionaire walked through the door he had on jeans, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat. The interviewers asked him about his favorite beer, and his reply was - "I drink two kinds of beer, free and Budweiser"


Awakenings Coffee shop and Cafe

Delicious hot sandwiches, soup, friendly staff, and inviting ambiance are all part of Awakenings coffee shop and cafe, located next to the log cabin in Jordan.

If you're looking for a quick nutritious meal before hauling the kids off to basketball practice or religion, then stop by Awakenings! Awakenings is now open week day nights until 7:00 pm. Tell them Golden Gopher told you to stop on by!


Gopher Basketball

Tubby Smith has the golden gopher men's basketball team playing some really energized defense. Three more wins and they will equal last year's win total.

I've gone to 1 game in the barn this year - and the gophers looked impressive. I might have to dish it and get the big ten network this season.

Are there any other gopher hoops fans here?
