Geezer with a Grudge: My Kid's Book

My Kid's Book

Ok, I'll admit this has nothing to do with motorcycles. However, I'm a father and damn proud of my kids. This is the display a friend and I found earlier this week of my daughter and son-in-law's book, Walking Twin Cities. If you live in the Cities, you owe it to yourself to check out this book. It will take you places you never knew existed, even if you've lived here your whole life.

Personally, it makes me more of a Garrison Keillor fan than I've ever been (it's his bookstore). I couldn't ask for a more prominent, nicer display of their wonderful book. I think I love this bookstore.

And now back to your regularly schedule motorcycle-related program.

The Geezer Story

I stumbled upon this column name (Geezer with a Grudge) almost 20 years ago, in 1999. The first Minnesota Motorcycle Monthly editor I worked with, in late 1999, complained that the magazine was getting no mail and the editors wanted to know if any readers were still out there. I fired off a sarcastic note, as a joke, intended to provide a little humor and some feedback. He published it as an article and later called me to say he'd received more mail on that letter than he'd received in the past year! I followed that with an offer to write a monthly column attempting to piss off a particular section of the magazine's readership to see if that tactic would generate some mail.

It did, probably more regularly than the magazine wanted at times, and I wrote a monthly column for MMM until the magazine died in 2018.

I plan to post an occasional old Geezer article into the blog, followed by short comments about the current status of my perspective on our activity/sport/vehicle of choice.
