Well, folks, it’s another scorcher here in Minot, but that ain’t stoppin’ the good people of this town from livin’ it up. Down at Prairie Sky Breads, they’re servin’ up a pizza hotter than my producer’s temper – the Spicy Stro. It’s got more peppers than a Republican debate has candidates, and enough kick to make you forget you’re in North Dakota.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to cool off after that, mosey on down to the Blue Rider for karaoke night. Nothing says “small-town America” like watching your neighbor butcher a Sinatra classic after a few too many. And on National Scotch Day? Well, let’s just say the singing might improve after a dram or two. Remember, friends, in comedy and in karaoke, timing is everything – but a sense of humor helps, too.
Got a guess at today’s celebrity writer? It’s screenwriter, producer, and icon of 1970s television sitcoms Norman Lear
