Benshoof: And your next Fargo Star is ... not me; Fargo Star voting begins Monday 
FARGO – Just so there’s no confusion here: I’m no singer. Never have been and never will be. I’ve never taken lessons, but I doubt that that would help me improve. Like Russell Crowe in “Les Misérables,” my lines are best delivered spoken, not sung.

Benshoof: Holding down the pillow fort (with video)
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.

Benshoof: Finding some tropical colors during the ‘blahs’ of January
FARGO – There’s no way around it – January is a “blah” time of the year.

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.

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: Why not get knitting this winter?
