Carleton put up two hockey rinks on the bald spot last week.
Where will the other outdoor hockey rinks be this year?

Is there a page on the City of Northfield’s web site where its rinks are listed? I couldn’t find it.

Jeesh, they pitch fast.
I guess this is the website for the sport: Northfield Fast-Pitch Softball Association.
I blogged about my high-tech hearing aids over a year ago and wrote:
When I finally got over my ego problems at having hearing aids (geezer!) and began showing them to people, I was amazed at how many people (baby boomer guys, primarily) admitted to having the same hearing difficulty and had no idea that [...]

We’ve had an ongoing discussion thread on what’s great about Northfield, and the diversity of comments led me to wonder about a related topic: What was it that brought you to Northfield?
