Notebook
August 31st, 2018 by Gary Osberg

Using a football analogy, today is the first day of the 4th quarter of my life.  I came into this world at St. Gabriel’s Hospital in Little Falls late on the afternoon on August 30, 1943.  The chances of my getting into “overtime” are not great, however my mother’s mother, Grandma Ramlo, lived to the ripe old age of 98 and she did not have the health care that I have had.  She never did smoke or drink alcohol, but I don’t think she lifted weights either.  Yesterday I got a step closer to owning a lake lot on a natural environmental 53 acre trout lake in Aitkin County.  I hope to close the deal on September 21st.   Now I have even more reason to keep on doing this job that I love.  I may want to spend some money on improving this wooded lot that has never been improved on, ever.  There is so much hardwood, both standing and fallen, that it is hard to get to the lake.  At least if I built a cabin with a wood stove, I would not run out of fuel. Wish me luck.

For some reason, there is no information on the Live From Here website about tomorrow’s show.  The big news is that tomorrow will be the last time that you will be able to listen to Live From Here on your classical station.  The show will be on all of the MPR News stations and on your smart device.

If you want a coverage map showing where all of the MPR News, Classical and The Current stations are broadcast from, simply ask.  I will send you a handy 5 x 7 map.
