Real-tor

Sounds a bit like a superhero, doesn't it?  Anyone who was stuck raising kids in the 80's who were hooked on the He-Man series knows what I'm talking about.  The shows' creative team wasn't too creative. They would take a characters feature and add OR to the end.  Remember Skeletor, Fakor, Stinkor, Spikor, Panthor or Stridor? ....but I digress. I'm here to talk about your friendly professional who sells houses.

Recently I was assigned to photograph the girls basketball clash between Esko and Pequot Lakes. A point of interest of that night was that Pequot Lakes Patriot Emily Lueck was poised to surpass her 2000 point in her high school basketball career. It was unknown if the game would be stopped when Lueck passed the mark or not. As it turned out the game was not stopped when Lueck hit the basket breaking the 2000 point mark. Many parents struggle with capturing their children on the field, court or pool during sporting events. 

The problem with big moments is that, at the time, we seldom realize the magnitude of these events. And even when we do, we rarely make the time to bask in their grandeur.

The 1999 Daytona 500 was such an event for me.

Come join us in the small meeting room at the Brainerd Public Library Wednesday, March 9th 2:00pm for a discussion of A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. This incredible book is a gothic novel set in rural Wisconsin in the winter. I didn't like the book at first however, I absolutely could not put it down until it was done. The characters were very believable and you just could not wait to see what was going to happen next. The imagery of the freezing stark environment adds another dimension to the story.
