Tomorrow morning, Sarah Kjorlien will bundle up to face the frigid temperatures in Moorhead and run three miles. Halfway around the world in the much warmer Czech Republic, her sister is also running three miles. Coincidence? Not so much. This routine has been going on for almost eight months.

We were complaining about Concordia’s free parking. Just so you understand, I am not a “parker” here at Concordia. I…
