Masked Fan Speaks
Just an average Vikings game & NHL Rules! Well, man oh man! Was that a Minnesota Vikings game this afternoon or what? The Vikes went out to Orchard Park, NY, to take on the Buffalo Bills, a team many consider to be the best in the AFC, and came away winners in a 33-30 OT classic of a game most media were immediately labeling as the Game of the Year. That is pretty lofty praise for what took place on the gridiron today, but I can't refute it.

Through a Child’s Eyes
You know the classic question every child is asked at some point: What do you want to be when you grow up? First of all, who says we have to grow up? Jobs, however, are pretty handy to have. Although I absolutely love my job, I was never a little girl who wanted to be a teacher when she grew up. I wasn’t even a young adult who wanted to be a teacher. My career working with children happened quite by accident after a series of unplanned life events. I first began working with kids at age 26, and I loved it so much I went back to college to get my teaching degree. The rest is history, and I get to live every day in the most fun and rewarding way.
