Spring time & feeling youthful..time to break out my converse…

Back in the day I didn’t need Dr. Scholl’s…

F***. This sucks.

Shooting TV wraps today for Minnesota Bound! It’s nice to get a break from the script writing and office “stuff” & head outside!

On this week’s Latchkey Logic Podcast, Bamba and I deep dived into 1977…the pop culture, the music, the news, the politics, the tech, the fashion…

Listen everywhere you get your podcasts!

Circa pretty darn close to 1977…I’m the smallest on the end there in the strange shirt. I was #7 years old in 1977. Times were good.

Some random snap shots of my home office…which I do miss while I’m at my work office all week….Which is weird, I know.

Change is a good thing…some would say it’s a necessary beast in the world of television production, especially local programming like Minnesota Bound.

We’ve had a good 30 year run on NBC…now it’s time for an exciting change – to KSTP/ABC! We moved at the start of 2026, and couldn’t be happier!

I’ll be celebrating my 30th year at Ron Schara Productions this coming May, in 2026! I was only #25 years old when I started…say it ain’ so! Grateful to work with such an award-winning team!

Yay and congrats to all the nominees and the winner-winner- chicken dinners! I lost in the writer craft category (& the other 4, too) but in good news, the Iowa Hawkeyes won! Hubby Cy had my back, with the score on his phone…. I was happy just to be nominated in the craft writer category…ridiculous writing talent in this market!

I really totally dig just shopping for new & cool dresses to wear.

Our company & team did take home a couple, so we’ll take it! #MidwestEmmys #minnesotabound

I’ve been here for 29 of them….Especially proud of the Aug. 17th, 2025 special on KARE-11 NBC – wrote and produced 3/4 of it! Had a blast working with Pete Hermann-Franzen and Troy Knechtel on all the segments! Great team of story tellers and I’m grateful every day I get to work with them!

KARE-11 NBC –

When I came across Julia’s story…I knew she was a FABULOUS character story for Minnesota Bound! Kudos to photojournalist and editor Aaron Achtenberg – she was fun to produce and write! She’s an inspiration to us all…and I know my Dad (who was also was a teacher and environmentalist) would have loved this story!

What’s better than Benedictine monks teaching students the art of maple syrup? Bonus? I got to spend time with son, Hayden, who was a senior at Saint John’s University, where we filmed this. Brother Walter was just FABULOUS!! What a great character! Was a blast to write this script, and Kudos to Pete-Hermann-Franzen who shot and edited this. #teamwork
