Well, Minnesota will always be "home" to me. I've lived there nearly 50 years. I love the state and it's people. Until now, I think two weeks is the longest I've ever been away from the state. I've moved because things change and I believe God has other plans for me and my family in Arizona.
I miss my church; I miss Lion's Tap burgers; The Big Ten Restaurant's cajon chicken wings; Chaska; Carver County; my home town of Olivia,; not being there when the Twins win the next world series; Saturday Morning Sports Talk with Pat and Joe; Garage Logic; my favorite governor, Tim Pawlenty; beautiful fall days; deer hunting in the snow in northern MN; golf, tennis & fishing in the summer; taking guests to the Mall of America; and the beauty of the first snow. I'll miss these things but then I've been experiencing them for 50 years. It's time to build new experiences as I head off into the sunset of my career and my life. By reading this blog, we'll be able to experience these things together.
What I won't miss about Minnesota? The fact that it's a democrat dominated state; Minneapolis liberals; way too many taxes; fake "Minnesota Nice"; 40 years of losing Gopher football; only 185 days of sun; and the number one reason, WINTER!
Hey Dan,
ReplyDeleteWhen you said you "miss" deer hunting in Minnesota were you suggesting that deer will now survive on account of your lack of hunting or that in actuality they actually usually survive your actual hunting?
Have I made myself clear?
Your answer to this probing question will determine whether or not we can grant you an authentic hunting nickname from Minnesota, such as: Daniel A.K.A. "Boone" Rosenberg.

Well Bear, I am the great white hunter of Minnesota don't you know? I'm right up there with Dave Crown, Jacek, Rick Selvey and Wayne Kenney. I think it's safe to say the deer don't really care if I'm not there since they were always pretty safe when I was in the woods. Now that I'm here, I am tempted to try elk hunting. But it is a lottery system and all the animal right goof balls buy licenses just to cut down on the kill. Just call me Bwana or Great White.
