February 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Fourteen years ago, I arrived in Duluth as a Permanent Resident Alien. The years came and went and the longer I resided in the United States, the more this became my home.

Stop the Racquet!: Racquetball in the Twin Ports
Two weeks ago, I found myself engaged in an athletic competition with a man over the age of seventy—and I lost.
