Minnesota Stamp and Other Musings

Posted May 30, 2008

I like the design of the new stamp commemorating the Minnesota Sesquicentennial. It’s not a lake image, but the aerial shot from Winona looking up the Mississippi towards the Highway 43 bridge is very nice. Very close to including Wisconsin in the shot though… 🙂

It’s been a stressful week at work for me (hence the lack of posts here). I’m close to having things back in order, if not in control, so hopefully the summer will be what summer is meant to be–laid back.

Modern Communication at Historic Northland

Posted May 30, 2008

One of the oldest courses in the state (and one of my favorites) has established itself as a leader in 21st century communications.

Northland Country Club in Duluth has two excellent blogs:

Established in 1899, this Donald Ross course has greats views of Lake Superior, hard-to-read greens, a new clubhouse and swimming pool and a staff that knows how to keep their members informed.

As one of their recent blog posts points out, membership has never been higher. More than 600 members in various categories call Northland home.
