Reaching the top step was Steve Sander, who is probably not related to the very late Colonel Sanders (image).

* At about 6:20 PM she sent a photo and reported that he had boy parts and has been given the totally cool name, Keaton. Mother and son are doing fine. Owen, Kort's first-born, is with gramma and Derek is on his fifth Margarita.

Congrats, Haags!

In addition to being a tremendous multisport athlete, Scott Penticoff is a totally cool guy. And burger honest and trustworthy, too, in case those qualities aren't covered by his total coolness.

Scott claims that Newt's--A Local Tradition Since 1980!--serves the best burger in the whole goshdarn state of Minnesota, not just Rochester, where it is located.

We trust Scott and plan to meet him and whoever else chooses to join us at Newt's after this Sunday's RochesterFest Triathlon. NEWT'S WEBSITE. Everybody's invited! Scott plans to get "The Works" burger: 3/4 pound of of beef with everything on it and a full pound of fries. We're thinking of getting "Todd's Burger," which includes several strips..
