Today’s happenings

Strange day so far. Work is busy, but a few things have struck me:
Was driving into work today and spotted an older, heavier gentleman in the large Lincoln next to me at the stoplight. He was wearing a cowboy hat, sunglasses, light-colored suit, and white gloves made of lace!
Drove further down Hennepin and [...]

MoveOn.org part two

I just got this email from MoveOn.org. For those of you in Minnesota, this is directly applicable to you. For those of you outside of MN, I urge you to call your legistlators.
Thank you for supporting the “United, Not Divided” campaign. There’s not much time left. The Senate is expected to vote on the Constitutional [...]

My mother called me on my way home. She wasn’t doing well and [...]

Bloggers unite?

I think I might try to go to the Wilde Roaste tonight - anyone wanna meet up?

Speaking of hobos …

Normal hobos

Okay, so I did get something good out of A Million Little Pieces, afterall. The last 50 or so pages are actually getting good. James Frey speaks about how we (we being alcoholics and addicts) are all born normal [perhaps genetically predispositioned to addiction, but I don't know...] people. Then the disease strikes, and it’s [...]
