A local Cottonwood has a story to tell

Sat, Oct 24
AL FREELAND We have been in town since 1981, but it was only in the last couple of years that I noticed the tree. By the tree I mean the giant cottonwood tree by the old metal bridge on Canada Ave., Northeast of Northfield. When the tree finally caught my eye I was totally amaze by the size of this old man of the woods. The base of the tree was hollowed out, but it still looked strong and not in danger of toppling. read more

Farwell Metrodome | Congrats 2009 Central Division Champs

Mon, Oct 12
After attending the last regular season game at the Metrodome the Twins beat the Detroit Tigers in a one game playoff, 163rd game of the season. This following 12 inning game was considered by many to be one of the most entertaining games in Twins history, considering the Twins were 7 games back just weeks prior and was the second time in 4 seasons that the Twins beat the failing Tigers on the last day of the season. In a stark turn of momentum the Twins were swept in 3 games during the...

Car Show Reactions | 2009 DJJD Sundowners Auto Show

Mon, Sep 21
BY AL FREELANDI really enjoy the Defeat of Jesse James Days auto show every year. I like it for the same reasons that many old people like me revel in the event!!! It is a walk down memory lane, a time to feel a bit younger as you identify with the machines that grew to be an extension of your body and seem still young, and for me and a few others walking around it was because of simplicity. The best way to describe what I mean by simplicity is as follows: I was talking with a gentleman that...

2006 Defeat of Jesse James Horse Shoe Hunt conspiracy re-post

Fri, Aug 28
I posted the following blog on my old website 3 years ago when I spent a lot of time hunting for the hidden horse shoe. This year I am one of those hiding it. Little did I know I was wasting my time, if I had paid any attention to the rule about it having to be on public property. Regardless, the clues that I did tie into Oaklawn Cemetery in Northfield were just to ironic to not be part of something bigger. Today, I am assured that it was just pure coincidence. Read over the old post and...

I share my June 1st birthday with a lifelong friend, Chris Blomberg

Sun, May 31
My next door neighbor growing up in Northfield was Chris Blomberg. He and I share June 1st as our birthday. Tomorrow he turns 34 and I turn 36. We always had a ton of fun with this, including some grand parties when we lived together in Minneapolis. We have always made efforts to get together or do something special together on this special day that we share. This morning he randomly showed up at my front door on his bike. He lives about 45 minutes away and I hadn’t seen him in many months....

The other Andrew Freeland landscaper

Fri, May 29
By AL FREELAND Andrew was born in southwestern Norway. What else did a person do in Southwestern Norway but fish or farm – period! He was born in a little town of Bryne – today still a little town of about 500 people. Outside of the town is a little wooden church called Time (pronounce Teem’ a) Lutheran. I was there about 10 years ago and saw the baptismal font he was baptized in, and the pews that he sat in, and the graveyard his ancestors were buried in. The thread of time and history and...

The Gravestone, ancestor Ole Apland was a legend

Wed, May 27
ALAN FREELAND Ole Apland was a legend! He came from Norway in 1855, he landed in Canada, took a train to Illinois, and then a wagon train – yes literally a horse drawn wagon train across the prairie to Story County, Iowa. He fell in love with a cute girl named Anna Ersland who was a passenger in the wagon train as well. They became the first couple to be married in Story County, Iowa. He homesteaded his 160 acres and eventually became a wealthy pioneer, acquiring a lot of land in Story...

Grandma Esta Freeland-Cox | the gift of quilt

Mon, May 25
My Grandma Esta Freeland-Cox has spent many many hours with a quilting needle in her hands during her 96 years. It’s been a source of entertainment, socialization and crafting for years. When I was very young Grandma Esta told me that I’d receive a hand made quilt some day when I graduated from high school. She simply asked me what color I wanted. Under pressure and completely unaware of the longevity of this decision, I said “yellow” for some reason. I hated yellow then, and still do today....

D.O.A College House, University of Minnesota 1994 -The Glory Year

Sun, May 24
So what in the world is the story here? Well..here is a legend of unprecedented party-house leadership that led to hazy memories for thousands. This is the story of my college-life glory year at an off campus house at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis MN. While my best friend Chad and I were living in the college dormitory, we couldnt get into any of the fraternity parties to save our life. Lets be honest, why would the frat-boys want to invite a bunch of guys to their parties. So,...

Greazy Meal at the Cabooze in Minneapolis

Wed, May 20
I just can’t write enough about this band in one post. They were the house band at the Cabooze on the West Bank in Minneapolis in the 90’s. They put on one of the best live shows on the face of the earth. The members were a collaborative gathering of from many other successful acts such as Price, Mambo’s Combo, Beat the Clock Paul Westerberg. Check out a video. (strong language warning for your ears).

10 comments on this photo of Andy and I from fishing opener 1981

Fri, May 8
1. If I could have that waist line now! 2. Is that a 1978 green “Vega”? 3. What’s in my pants? 4. Where are those fish now? 5. Nice effort Andy! 6. Who picked out my cloths that day? 7. It took 6 months to develop this film (marked with NOV 81 in bottom left) 8. Those are most likely Bullheads. 9. Maroon socks? 10. Chances are Andy caught all of these fish.

Many ask what my favoite movie of all time is...and this is it

Thu, May 7
I've seen thousands and thousands of movies. People often discuss their favorite movies, which can be a daunting task. In 1999 I found my favorite movie, "Magnolia". It features a half dozen of my favorite actors and a top-notch writer/director. Here is the trailer, which doesn't do the movie justice. Go rent it, sit back, and be ready trade 3 hours for the movie of a life time.

Mashing two songs together that sound alike. Check this out

Thu, Apr 23
I heard this new song "Drowning (Face Down)" 2008 by Saving Abel this week. I immediately started to sing Badlees "Fear of Falling" 1995 over the top of it. So, I used my trusty Audacity audio editor and Vegas Studio video editor to put this little display together. This was my first attempt at using both together.

The best words a Dad could hear

Tue, Apr 21
I few weeks ago I took my daughter Rylie to the Mall of America during the day for a father-daughter outing. I had taken off the day and she was on spring break. We went to eat at the Rainforest Cafe and then to the Underwater World Adventures then to the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park. This used to be the old Camp Snoopy. We started on a few rides and eventually landed on the log roller coaster. This is the one where the log/boat floats throughout the ride and you end in a watery fall....
