I have gotten a little carried away with my mid life hockey career, but its been great for me.
Don Giroux and I started a hockey blog roughly a year ago in addition to coordinating our own weekly (if not more) hockey pick up game. It seemed there were no resources to find players or […]

So I really love this photo of our kids Griffin and Gavin. I played hockey in Minnesota, although was never that great. Either way I still loved skating, and spent tons of time at the park with my best friend Coleman.
Our kids just started with the Washburn Hockey Association and its super cool to see […]

I thought it was time to clarify a few things. We are not “flipping rich”, yet anyway. We have done well in out own right with investing, in both real estate, as well as the market. Sunny and I have on more than one occasion, put everything we have on the line, hoping to be […]

I actually find this news late, having read it last week at behindthemortgage.com. However a few people have asked me about it since I work for Coldwell Banker Burnet
Now, I am sure there is all kind of information that is not getting reported, but from what I have read, it seems a little frivolous.  And […]

Okay, so heres something to help market Kingfield. Its not Linden Hills, but close enough.
Our house, we have been told, by inside sources no less, was the home that Minnesotas own Chris Mars of the Replacements grew up.
In one doorframe there are even notches saying “Chris” and “Mike” (measuring height). Dont […]

Lot size is 135 by 293.
Currently has a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. Our assumption is someone will by the parcel to subdivide and build, build their dream home while living in […]
