Jon is out on a bro-date with Spencer before the baby comes. I spent some time cleaning and working out, then went down the road to Victory 44 and journaled and read "Getting Things Done". I had an iced chai, a scone, ad two very nice cups of Darjeeling ( Read more... )

Last weekend Minneapolis had some really nasty thunderstorms. Thursday night the power went out around 4am and came back on about 8. There were some branches knocked around but nothing super extreme. Then Friday night as we were driving out to Green Bay we could see storm clouds gathering behind us and the big storm hit Minneapolis. There was a ( Read more... )
