Tonight’s Wild player signing featured my daughter’s favorite player, Derek Boogaard, at Buffalo Wing Wings in Savage. Unfortunately, she stayed home from school today with an upset stomach and a low-grade fever. I decided the best medicine for her was a signed “get well soon” card from the Boogie Man, so I fought the large crowd and frigid weather and got the goods. No “To DK” photo tonight (I wanted to keep to the one item per person courtesy), but this was even better.

Tickets in the usual spot for Chicago tomorrow night…DK

It’s been really cold and windy this week and this guy figured out how to break our “squirrel-proof” bird feeder we set up on the deck. My kids nick-named him Sammy Squirrel and I’m happy for him to eat whatever he wants–he earned it.

Eagan received a dusting of snow last night, but we missed both of the big storms that have moved through so far. Wind chills have been in the low negative digits the past few days, but we are forecast to be above freezing again by the end of the week. Minnesotans and weather–it just isn’t logical or sane…DK
