Can’t believe it! Daisy and Rufio are at the vet right now, getting their final international pet health certificates issued. This time next week we’ll be departing LAX on our final leg to San Jose. All kinds of emotions have come up throughout the last 10 weeks of preparation. Moments of panic and second-guessing, but those fade fast to excitement. We’…

Jerry here… It’s been a busy week in the Northland and it’s only Tuesday, so we’re making a brief return from what I’ll call a strategic pause at Iron Range Today.Thanks for reading Iron Range Today! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Governor Walz visits state-funded workforce, bonding projects in Chisholm and Hibbing Gov. Tim Walz visited Detroit Diesel in Hibbing and the under-construction public safety building in Chisholm on Wednesday, in what amounted to an overdue victory lap on state bonding and workforce development efforts.

Durante mucho tiempo no me cerró la idea de la gimnasia en la liga universitaria. Mirando para atrás, estaba atado a una idea de gimnasta completamente errada (joven, flaca, “seria”), pero sobre todo a una idea del deporte errada: ¿qué pasa si la gimnasia es menos solemne y las atletas se divierten en suelo bailando hip-hop? ¿Es menos gimnasia? ¿La gent…

Hace unos días estuve charlando de gimnasia en Zona Mixta de UNI Radio. Empezamos hablando de reglas de vestimenta de GAF, pasamos por un panorama de la gimnasia en Uruguay y llegamos hasta Tokio. Podés escucharlo en este link.

Es el año 2001, se usan los breteles finitos y estás mirando Popstars, a ver si a Lourdes la seleccionan para la nueva banda. A unos 12000 km, una nena de 6 años que se llama Gabrielle Christina Victoria está aprendiendo a hacer ruedas de carro en su primera clase de gimnasia. Un poco más de una década después sería campeona olímpica por primera y no po…

“El mundial está a la vuelta de la esquina” es tremendo cliché pero tremendamente cierto. El sábado que viene se prenden las luces de la última chance de clasificación para muchos países de nuestra región y todos los ojos van a estar puestos en la fase de clasificación para hacer ajustes de cara a los Juegos Panamericanos.

Esta semana se definen las últimas 4 plazas continentales de la gimnasia artística para Tokio. El Panamericano se realizará en Rio de Janeiro del 4 al 6 de junio y será transmitido en vivo por el Canal Olímpico de Brasil. Para tener distintos puntos de vista, recibimos a Andreea Balcázar de

Brasil organizó un control de la selección femenina de cara a los Panamericanos de Rio de Janeiro. Varias gimnastas compitieron en el all-around probando nuevas rutinas y otras sólo participaron de algunos aparatos, como Lorrane Oliveira que sólo realizó barras. Flavia Saraiva presentó su serie nueva de suelo, pero no fue mostrada en vivo porque quiere …

Esta semana en Sin Descuentos comentamos la previa del Nacional de Rusia, quiénes son las posibles competidoras no tan conocidas que quedan en pie para los Euros y repasamos el calendario semanal. Podés ver el episodio completo en YouTube.

Sigue el drama… …Y no es para menos. USA Gymnastics publicó un informe donde explica cómo seleccionaron los equipos GAM y GAF para Tokio y contiene varios puntos interesantes, por no decir polémicos.

El sábado 5 a las 14:00 hs UY/ARG Dani Etcheverry, Cristhian Meneses y yo vamos a hacer un vivo en Instagram desde esta cuenta para hablar sobre el clasificatorio de masculina del viernes, quiénes ganaron el pasaje a Tokio y cómo viene la clasificación de femenina, justo antes de la rotación de Brasil y México. ¡No te lo pierdas!

Our AP History instructor junior year of high school was Jerry Larkin, an ageless, animated (and agitated) scholarly sort who survived off a teachers' salary but was decidedly rich in disdain for the spoiled, whiny horde who dared cross his threshold during fifth period.

In hindsight, it's easy to see that Buster Posey's retirement was baseball's worst-kept secret toward the end of the 2021 season. Three separate incidents stick out to me as indicators: His quiet and meaningful exchange at home with his old battery mate Madison Bumgarner

I used to beat myself up a little bit because I didn’t have more writer friends. Nobody to confide in after sitting long hours typing stuff like this and sending it to nowhere, knowing it would get read by no one in particular and received by nobody.

Patrick Mahomes, the man who is one half of the most chemistry-laden onscreen pairing of 2020, was absent in the second half of the Chief's 22-17 playoff win at home vs. Buffalo following a concussion. Kansas City has yet to release its final verdict on Mahomes suiting up vs. Buffalo in the AFC Championship game Sunday, but it's looking not likely.

Dave Portnoy, the meta-bro caricature of the guy who harasses you all night until you agree to go home with him incl. neck shave founder of Barstool sports is getting nice press for allegedly helping setting up a fund that helps small restaurants through the pandemic.

"In my comic strip, Snoopy's brother Spike lives near this same desert town [Needles, California], where we usually see him sitting by a saguaro." — Charles Schultz Spike from Peanuts popped into my head not too long ago, and he stayed there. Yes, it can now be said, Snoopy's skinny, desert rat brother is one of the things (people?) I thought (think) ab…

I was flipping through an old (early 90s) Sports Illustrated recently and saw an ad for a Chevy Monte Carlo. It was a good ad. I'd never thought about a Monte Carlo up to that point, much less wanted to buy one—perhaps in that span of time since the magazine was originally published, I aged into their demo—but I wanted one. The ad was still doing work t…

Tomorrow is my birthday. It’s also the anniversary of my father’s death. When it happened, eight years ago, I was in San Luis Obispo packing for what I thought would be a quick trip up to Tahoe for the MLK holiday. There was new snow, and I was eager to spend a weekend somewhere besides the couch in my parents’ condo just north of Davis—close to the hos…

Last summer, the guy in town that has me do odd jobs for him now and then had a simple task during a weekday, and could I help out(?) He’s a realtor, and his clients are always in need of someone to come help with that pesky finishing punch list before they bug out of Dodge and into their new lives.
