Next Signing: Bookends in Menomonie, Saturday, November 17th

This has just been finalized in the past few days but I will be hitting I-94 to travel west to Menomonie for a signing at Bookends, right on Highway 29, across from the Mabel Tainter Theatre.

I've always enjoyed a special relationship with Menomonie. When I was in sports, I covered the always-successful MHS football team. In 1999, I was there, in Madison, when they captured the state title on a brisk, frigid November morning.

That game was actually a watershed moment for my career.

At halftime, with Menomonie leading, I accepted the main sports anchor position at KDLH-TV in Duluth (we had operating pay phones in the last century). That led to a five-year odyssey where I "grew up" in Duluth, adding two children and even some maturity before we were blessed enough to move back to Eau Claire.

Hope to see you there. Saturday, November 17th at Bookends in Menomonie, 1 p.m.

Bookends is a locally-owned bookstore. They're stocking The Interim right now so, if you're close by, stop on by and pick one up.
