I'll be selling Life Erupted at the Minnesota Genealogical Society's Nordic Genealogical Conference at Inver Grove Community College, Inver Grove Hills, Minnesota, on Saturday, April 27.

Happy to have been asked to sell copies of
"Life Erupted" at the October 5 Icelandic American Association of Minnesota's Leifur Eiriksson celebration. Been told a splendid cod dinner will be had by all.

Got the chance to promote Life Erupted and talk Hillary Clinton politics on "Democratic Visions," Minnesota's lower budget version of "Between Two Ferns." I looked okay from the side but my God, I have to lose between 20 and 1,000 pounds before I go on again and let them show me my face. TV does that, as we all know, especially when magic lighting is not involved.

But it was a great opportunity all the same. Hope you'll like it.

Feeling very good that Life Erupted is now for sale on the shelves of Magers and Quinn, one of the largest independent bookstores west of the Mississippi. It's also available on their website. The store is worth a visit if any of you are in Minneapolis. Certainly worthy of your business if you live in Minnesota.

And Phyllis Schlafly's assertion that women who make more than men won't find husbands. I dispute that notion,http://www.minnpost.com/community-voi...

Here is my latest turn for the Minnesota public affairs program Democratic Visions. This time, I talk about how you can do almost anything you want on a Sunday in Minnesota. Except...buy liquor in a liquor store.

Had to leave my Minnesota home (again). This time, it's likely for quite some time. Hope you enjoy the piece.
