Peace and Justice is a theme I’ve been passionate about my entire life, but particularly since September 2001. I began this blog in 2009. The intended focus of this site is Peace, Justice, Environment, Sustainability, Global Cooperation and related issues.
The intent of this site is to publish positive pieces with thoughts about building a better future for our world and everyone in it.
I believe in the value of dialogue. A lifelong mid-westerner, with deep roots in rural North Dakota, I have spent most of my adult life in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. dickDOTbernarddt1878ATicloudDOTcom

Tonight (Friday Nov 6 8 p.m. CST) is a marvelous free orchestra concert conducted by Thomas Sundergard: MN Orch Nov 5 2026. We saw it live yesterday at Orchestra Hall (photo above before the concert began). The live performance will be carried on Minnesota Public Radio and Twin Cities Public Television, and also on the Minnesota Orchestra’s YouTube Channel.
You’ll be glad you took the time.
This weeks concert was the first of three events of the Orchestras Nordic Soundscapes Festival, and the only performance to be live-streamed. November 8 (Sunday) is a family concert “The Musical Tales of Hans Christian Andersen”. Nov. 13 and 14, conducted by Oslo Vanska, will feature music by Danish and Finnish composers.
NOTE:
Personal comments on the Nov. 3 election will come after the last Senate and Congressional races are decided.
