I’ll be on KAXE with my weekly essay for “Between You and Me” Saturday between 10 a.m. and noon. The show’s topic this week is germs and I’ll be talking about a particularly nasty set of germs that leveled my family a couple weeks ago.

Fun fact: my flu story involves the Minnesota State Highway Patrol.

Tune in between 10 a.m. and noon on 91.7 KAXE in northern Minnesota or streaming online at http://www.kaxe.org/.

An extended version of the essay will also run as my Sunday column in the Hibbing Daily Tribune. I’ll post that over the weekend as usual.
