Summit Orthopedics

Talk to the Hand Specialist Article by David Scheller “Hands. Wrists. Elbows,” said Dr. Michael J. Forseth of Summit Orthopedics. “In the grand scheme of things, I admit that my areas of focus aren’t quite as essential to life as … say, the heart, or the brain. “But then I ask you, what is life? One thing’s for certain: it’s a lot more than vital signs. It’s providing for your family. It’s raising your children. It’s competing in sports. It’s fishing, canoeing, gardening, camping, and the...

Office Golf

"A Good Walk Spoiled" Minus the Walk Article by David Scheller I once read an article about snow golf. Do you know what I learned? I learned I do not want to play snow golf.  No. I want to play golf as it was intended to be played during the winter: in the lap of luxury . Visualize this. You’re a golf ball (and a mighty fine one at that). You’re being teed up at your house. THWACK. Good swing! It sends you ten miles – straight down 494 to Bloomington – and lands you in a glade by the...

Specializing in the Before and the After Article by David Scheller | Photography by Diane Wilke Eden Prairie Lifestyle typically avoids reminding readers that they will die someday. As tidbits go, it’s not the cheeriest. What happens to you after you die? That is not for this magazine to say, although you would be well advised to be as kind as possible to others so long as you’re here. What we can say for certain is that you will be missed. Immensely. The world will have lost one of its...

Grace Church

“Christians are made, not born.” – Tertullian Article by David Scheller “Seventeen years. For seventeen wonderful years, I have had the privilege of knowing the finest people I could ever have hoped to meet. Minnesotans are joyous. Generous. And, dare I say it, nice. They care genuinely for their friends and their family, and they aren’t gossips. And when we worship at Grace Church together, I know in my heart we all share the highest esteem for the truth of God’s word. “If I weren’t the...

Life Time

Stronger Together Article by David Scheller I’m pretty strong for a magazine writer. I can bench two hundred (maybe two hundred fifty ) magazines, tops. And I became that way the least fun way there is: by lifting weights in my basement, alone. Life Time is the polar opposite of my creepy writer basement. Their two Eden Prairie locations are airy and sumptuous – country clubs sans golf courses, really. They offer weight training and every other imaginable avenue to wellness. And most...

Dreadful! Don’t worry. If you live in an area where Eden Prairie Lifestyle is distributed, then you are never...
