Look what I found on the floor this week. I went to a different junior high in Saint Paul, but all of these people became friends of mine in high school, including my wife. Recognize anyone? Are you one of them? Drop me a line at dk@code.mn and give us an update…DK

The drive home tonight was magical: 70 degrees in November, both windows rolled down, great music playing on the iPod, sweet smells from restaurants and bakeries, the joy of driving a Mini around tight curves and a beautiful sunset over the Mississippi River. Probably won’t get another one of those for about six months…DK

Here is the tentative list of the people who will be representing me in the major offices:

• U.S. Senators: Norm Coleman (R) and Amy Klobuchar (D)
• U.S. Representative, District 2: John Kline (R)
• Governor: Tim Pawlenty (R)
• MN Attorney General: Lori Swanson (D)
• MN Secretary of State: Mark Ritchie (D)
• MN State Auditor: Rebecca Otta (D)
• MN Senate, District 38: Jim Carlson (D)
• MN House, District 38A: Sandra Masin (D)
• Eagan Mayor: Mike Maguire
• Eagan City Council: Peggy Carlson, Paul Bakken, Meg Tilley, Cyndee Fields

Overall, I think it was an interesting mix of results in this election. I’m neither excited or angry, so I guess that’s a positive. I do plan to communicate more with the people listed above and make them work for their money, something I haven’t done nearly enough in the past…DK
