*Congratulations to Ryan Leaf on getting released from prison in Montana.
*Congratulations also, to my pal Alec in Hermosa on the nice contract extension. First round is on you at Ercole's.
*We're going with a real tree this Christmas at the Home Office. Both dogs have been sniffing around it. This should get interesting.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Shawn from Stephen. He and his brother Greg used to stay at my house when it would blizzard during school. We would turn out the lights in the basement and commence a rudimentary Fight Club. A good time was had by all.
*If Torii Hunter punches Joe Mauer during Spring Training I will consider his signing a success.
*I wasn't shocked at all by the Minnesota Timberwolves losing to the previously winless Philadelphia 76'ers. I found it more surprising people paid to go and watch the game.
*Remember Cordarrelle Patterson? I don't.
*Do you ever put pepper spray on your burrito?
*I'm going to skip Horrible Bosses 2. And Dumb and Dumber To.

Random Thursday on a Tuesday
*I've never been a fan of cranberries.
*Does celery really deserve a place in stuffing? I think not.
*I'm old enough to remember when CNN wasn't a complete joke.
*I'm happy gas prices have dropped. I'm curious as to why it is still cheaper in Crookston, Fargo, Hillsboro, Bemidji, Minneapolis, Erskine and Fosston than it is in Grand Forks.
*Are you ever concerned that Family Feud might run out of surveys? And who takes these surveys? "100 people were surveyed and the top six answers are on the board...Name a state with a lot of sunshine."
*Reggie Tales shout out to Claire in North Carolina.
*"Birdman" is a very good movie. And very different. And Michael Keaton is sensational. He might be one of our most underrated actors ever.
*Two words: Pecan pie. That is all.

*Wendy's is underrated.
*Bryan Cranston as Dr. Tim Whatley on Seinfeld is one of the great characters in television history.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Blonde Daughter, celebrating her 16th Birthday today!
*I highly recommend "Fury." And to a lesser degree, "The Equalizer" with Denzel Washington isn't the worst movie I've ever seen.
*So Paul Molitor is the new manager of the Minnesota Twins. That's nice. Now, if they don't spend any money this season upgrading their pitching staff and suffer another 90 loss season, what difference does it make?
*I haven't taken my snowblower out of storage yet. Today might be the day. Or not.
*It might be time to put Summer Sidekick on the side of a milk carton. I haven't seen that clown since the Sacred Heart Golf Tournament where he led us to a 17th place finish.
*It seems strange to me that the Minnesota Vikings are satisfied with a terrible punter.

*I'm back from hiatus.
*I wanted to spend more time with my family.
*My new biggest pet peeve: People who attempt to enter an elevator before everyone has left it. I need to think of something to say to those people.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Alec in Hermosa.
*While Fruit Loops and Frosted Flakes grab all the headlines, Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch has quietly gone about it's business as one of the most underrated cereals in the game today. Time to give the Cap'n his due. He runs a nice ship.
*Happy birthday to Dwight Yoakam.
*Yesterday, I met a 103 year old woman who bowls in Grafton. Her score was 82. She turns 104 in two weeks.
*If you ever appear on The Shark Tank, think twice about going out in the hallway to discuss a pending offer, because when you return the deal may be off the table.
*Tomorrow is a special day at The Tales. I will release my Top Five Concert Bucket List.
*Bonus shout out to D.C. Guy and Mrs. D.C. Guy on the birth of their son, Charles.

*Life is too short to use an electric shaver that doesn't work well.
*You could make an all-star team of ex-Minnesota Twins appearing in this year's playoffs.
*Cordarrelle Patterson is the best player on the Minnesota Vikings yet they refuse to get him the ball.
*I told you at the beginning of the baseball season the Twins would be awful. And they were. And I don't have any faith they will make the necessary additions to avoid yet another 90 loss season next year. Pretty soon, the fancy new baseball stadium will sit empty.
*Is it possible that Ray Lewis is on the payroll of the Baltimore Ravens at the exact same time he's on the ESPN payroll discussing the Ray Rice situation? That would be disturbing.
*Congrats to Muffy for being named one of the Grooviest Dogs in Grand Forks.
*Thank you to our very nice guests from the south. Please travel safely back to sunny Florida, although I don't think you can top our weather.
*Happy 65th to The Boss.
*It's hard to believe that the NHL is back on the ice.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Rain Man and Mrs. Rain Man on their move to the big city. Grand Forks' loss is Bloomington's gain. On an unrelated note, beer sales at Judy's just dropped 15%.

Random Thursday on a Saturday
*We're back!
*Thank you for all the well wishes during my well deserved time off.
*I think ex-Minnesota Twin Josh Willingham looks a lot like actor Chris Pratt.
*I also think if Josh Willingham had hit a few more RBI doubles for the Twins he'd still be a Twin.
*I used to have the nicest yard on the block. Now it looks like your average yard in Mogadishu.
*I'm concerned about the slow down of the construction at the Sweeto Burrito on Columbia in Grand Forks.
*But that concern is offset with the news of Spicy Pie coming to GF and currently scouting locations. You can bet on either downtown or on/near the UND campus.
*It's strange watching the Vikings play at the Gopher's stadium. I equate it to the place where Brett Favre was drilled.
*The Stephen guys are talking about playing some golf in an exotic location. Stay tuned.
*Reggie Tales shout out to Bill in Fort Collins.
