Alumni Speech Highlights SD Trip
I was asked last winter to be a featured speaker at WLHS’s 114th annual alumni gathering, to which I happily accepted and promptly arranged a trip back to South Dakota. I could have just zipped up for the weekend by myself and come back after a few days, but figured it might be a good chance to bring a kid along and save some money by keeping them out of an expensive summer camp for a week. Since…
John's Big Game
John’s 12U team (managed by me) had not had a very good season. The team started the season losing its first eight games. But after a morale-boosting 7-6 win on Saturday in a lightning-shortened game and Monday night’s semifinal victory, we find ourselves in the championship game against all odds. (All teams made the playoffs regardless of record, so it totally nullified the entire regular…

May Update
Greetings. May has arrived, and as usual, I was signing the “It’s Gonna Be May” version of the N Sync song leading up to the new month. April was a quiet month by most standards. Baseball really dominated the family calendar. Edie’s 8U coach-pitch team is in first place with an 8-1 record, while John (and my) 12U team is 0-8 and in last place, though most of the games have been competitive. I…

More Christmas Fun… in IpswichMonday afternoon, I arrived at the home of Mike and Gwen Geditz near Ipswich, which is up in the Aberdeen area. Since I started dating Amanda Geditz in May, not once had I been to her house, and she thought for sure it would never happen. But I made good on my promise and took in her family’s Christmas. The Geditz family consists of Mike and Gwen, along with…

Not So FastPlans were all set to move into Village Park Apartments across from the Mall of America sometime late this week, but we didn’t receive the call we were promised on Friday to let us know if our applications went through or not. That may have been the first indication that this complex wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Over the past three summers, I have rented three different…

In a Matter of Days, It’s a Very New Ryan GlanzerOn December 16, I was finishing up my last day of college at DSU, my last day of work at AmericInn, and was residing at 915 N West Ave in Madison with Jon Mueller, Phil Huddleston, and Justin Jung. A mere eight days later, I am done with DSU, about to begin work at Microboards Technology, and about to move into an apartment in Bloomington, MN with…

A Meltdown for the AgesMonday night, I pulled out the old SuperJoy III, the biggest rip-off in video game history. It is this rip-off of a N64 controller (with immobile joystick) that has about 250 different classic video games, all of which have slightly different names or features than the originals. You just plug the controller into the VCR and play away. Well, Monday, Amanda stopped by and…

Ryan Glanzer’s Play-by-Play SundayI don’t have much new to talk about today. The plan is to just sit around watching football. The Chargers-Colts game unfortunately is not on TV, but I will be able to follow along with it online. Instead I’ll be watching the Vikings-Steelers game. Nick Sandbulte should be over to watch as well, or so he told me yesterday. Also, apologies to Jake Drotzman for…
Spring Break Recap: South Florida
We’re back from our big spring break ’26 trip, and as usual, I must recap the entirety of our trip for posterity. Back Story Lauren proposed several trips for spring break, mostly centered around National Parks. Three of the itineraries involved Utah/Colorado/Arizona/Nevada, and then there was the Florida one. Chances are high we would have picked one of the western locations had it not been…
2026 MLB Predictions
My annual MLB predictions are back for a 17th installment! What started as a pick’em contest amongst friends evolved into me making predictions. 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 In 2025’s post, I correctly predicted the Dodgers would win the World Series. Ho-hum, so did everybody else. I only got half the playoff teams…
January Update
Man, this month has been boring! I am doing Dry January again this year. Last year I successfully went the entire month of January without a single drop of alcohol. This year has not been all that difficult either, but here’s my conundrum: I work from home. I have nothing to do outside the house after work either. I am confined to this house 24/7. A singular happy hour beverage after work does…

20 Years of Schooling Will End ThursdayIn 1986, I started preschool on a 2-times-a-week basis. After a year of preschool, it was determined I would go back for a second year, simply because I was right on that summer birthday borderline where I could either go into kindergarten or not. In 1988, I started kindergarten, and in 2001, I graduated from high school. That fall, I started college here…

It’s Official… I’m an Unofficial College Graduate!Sunday afternoon, I joined the ranks of the elite, obtaining my college degrees in Multimedia/Web Development and Computer Graphic Design. Well, actually they just handed me an empty binder to put my diploma in once I actually earn it. I still have to pass my classes this week. Yes, they put graduation before finals, but I guess it’s…
2025 Year in Review
This sentimental video surely captures all the highlights of the year from the Glanzer family! It was certainly a year of change—new dog, new car, new house, new schools. When Lauren and I sat down and charted out our 2025 a year ago, it did not look like that. There was no dog discussed, a big two-week summer vacation to Colorado that never formulated, and only broaching the idea of getting the…
Christmas 2025
Since we bought a house a few months ago, all plans to travel for a while were put on hold. So Christmas 2025 was spent locally at the new place, all by ourselves. It was a fun day, though. It started with the opening of presents. Edie declared it “the happiest day of my life” as she ripped into her gifts. Her big present was a bike from Santa, but she got plenty else. John didn’t have a “big”…
Chargers vs Cowboys
Thanks to the success of the Chargers in 2025, I decided somewhat last-minute to a quick day trip up to Dallas for the Sunday noon game vs the Cowboys. Of course, I brought John along, hoping to make up for his first NFL experience (December 26, 2021 where he got car sick on the drive to Houston and spent the game in the medical room). I wanted to leave at 5:30am for the 3.5 hour drive Sunday…

Graduation Countdown: 9 DaysI have one week of classes left, then graduation, and then finals week. I learned today that we finished all our material in Portfolio class, so we don’t have to show up Monday or Friday next week. Since that’s my only class on MWF, I only have three regular days of classes left ever, then three days of finals. On another interesting note, I finally got the list of…
