Benshoof: What’s March Madness without the marches?
FARGO – March Madness kicked off this week, as if you needed any reminding. Lately, it’s all everyone’s been talking about – who’s going to win, how much American worker productivity is going to suffer because of it, what exactly is that mascot for St. Louis University (a “Billiken”), and on and on.

Benshoof: Letter from 11-year-old self offers insight into past
Recently, a time capsule from 1998 was unearthed at my former elementary school. Included in that was a letter, written by my 11-year-old self to my future self, that offered me a lot of insight into my life at the time. In handwriting suspiciously similar to my own today, the letter reads as follows (with specific names of people removed):

Benshoof: I’m not tying the knot (of my bowtie)
I have a confession to make: I don’t know how to tie a bowtie. As one of very few bowtie wearers around Fargo-Moorhead, I am saddened to have to say that, but I felt the truth had to come out.

Benshoof: Making a winning first impression at speed dating
MOORHEAD – “If you could be any species of the genus aotus, what would you be?” When it comes to first impressions, you can probably do better than that. First impressions matter, after all, whether it’s a work-related meting or the first meeting with your in-laws.

Benshoof: Learning the lessons of the Summer of Sam
CHICAGO – Sitting in Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport four months ago, I was intrigued. American Airlines had overbooked their flight to Fargo, and they were asking for volunteers to take the next flight a few hours later, something I had always wanted to do.

Benshoof: Zombies – the life of a party, or a terrifying possibility?
FARGO – The Zombie Pub Crawl is long over, but thanks to pop culture like AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” zombies are always in season. So, if you’re like the undecided voter this election season and still haven’t figured out your costume for this weekend’s Halloween parties, here’s my suggestion for an easy one: embrace your inner zombie and go as the undead.

Benshoof: Overloading on good luck traditions for 2013
While New Year’s Eve is just another night for some people, I always value the end of the old year and beginning of the new. Part of my enjoyment has to do with traditions that bring people good luck for the coming year. For my friends and me in high school, that tradition was a sprawling, epic hourslong game of Monopoly.

FARGO - Starting this weekend area residents will be repeating a popular refrain: “Baby, it’s cold outside.” Our already frigid temps are forecast to plummet even more, which will lead to some of the coldest – and most dangerous –conditions of the season.

Airfare is a fickle beast. Despite all the rules of thumb for when to buy (Book three weeks ahead of time! Book on Tuesdays!), nothing seems to make much sense.

Benshoof: Cheat sheet for faking your way through Oscar weekend

Benshoof: Go ahead and send in the clowns - just make sure they’re nice
A particular group of people will be in town this weekend, and it’s one that I’m afraid has gotten something of an unfair reputation of late. Where these people once used to be almost universally adored for the job they did, they’re now feared by many and portrayed unfavorably in movies and television.
