Meet other local Golfers who can't always find a golf partner and want to get out on the links. We are made up of a group of people (married and single) who love chasing that little 'ole white (orange, yellow, green, blue or pink) ball around. We've even done it in the dark. Being a good golfer is not a prerequisite or a necessity, as we are just about enjoying the game and most importantly being outside. Having fun is a necessity and there is no need to even keep score, unless you want to that …

I try to encourage a diverse reading selection, so please feel free to offer suggestions (fiction or nonfiction). Members usually send me suggestions and then we do a poll to pick a selection. …

Since then, there have been many events scheduled, friendships formed and a lot of great memories. On September 1, 2012, the name was switched to Minnesota Foodies (http://www.MinnesotaFoodies.com). The mission of the group continues to focus around enjoying great food and building friendships along the way, but not just one weekly dinner. We have brunc …

If you are not familiar with Austrian Economics or Ludwig von Mises, you can get a quick overview here (http://en.wikipedia. …

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …

Meet with regular people (like the disciples) that have, above all else, a yearning to know the real Truth.  There are a few of us who have each discovered in different ways that the Authorized Version of 1611 or King James Bible is God's Word (Jesus) perfectly preserved for us today in English. All modern bible per-versions are an attempt to attack and pervert the Truth and bring about a one-world religion. Studying the many verses that are omitted can give a person a new appreciation for the K …

Regular implies some level of commitment and allows for remembering each other’s plot lines, characters, revisions, etc. We’re trying to create a writing lab, a safe haven from the writing jungle: a ‘place’ to nurture experimentation + take chances …
