A little post-run carbonara for lunch with kid one at Andiamo
Really didn’t want to get out of bed today, but finally woke up and ran 10 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley
The Mumford & Sons cover of The Boxer was totally worth the extra cost of getting the deluxe edition
Who would’ve thought Best Buy would be the one to save the day after a Target fail?
Tried the mozzarella sticks at White Castle for the first time and was mildly surprised – pretty good for $2.50
Nice color from Vermilion through Virginia and Eveleth, which probably means it will all be gone when I return from Vegas
Has everyone forgotten we hated the real refs too? And what’s up with $173K for a part-time job?
Olivia Newton-John on Monday, now Blair on Survivor – expecting Howard Jones to walk down the hallway any minute
Highlight of tonight’s nine mile run on Gold Mine Trail and Echo Point: the mystery creature that growled at me from the woods
Anyone could do it with Gloria.

Work days go by much faster when the entire morning is spent in the same meeting. Now back to web & social media stuff
I can’t decide if the world’s largest bacon cheeseburger at Black Bear is marketing genius, totally stupid or just gross
Ran 4 miles on the resort treadmill, since it’s like 35F outside and I’ve been told we have coyotes and wolves around
Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons at G2E next week to introduce KISS slot machine
When Colleen won tickets to see my teen crush, I didn’t really care that the show was on a Monday night – I needed to go. Plus it was at the Wurtele Thrust stage in the beautiful new Guthrie and our friends Cathy and John were already planning to go, so why not?
We met the Shusters for dinner before the show at Kindee Thai across from the theater. My chicken satay, cream cheese wontons and pineapple fried rice with dried cranberry, cashew nuts, egg and green onion were very tasty.
The show started right on time and the 63-year-old (now 64) Koala Blue co-founder played for a little more than 90 minutes. I don’t have a set list, but she played songs from her early albums, a little country, three songs from Xanadu, several Grease hits and a couple newer ballads.
A few I remember (in no particular order):
- Have You Never Been Mellow
- I Honestly Love You
- You’re the One That I Want
- Magic
- Physical
- Jolene
- Take Me Home, Country Roads
- Hopelessly Devoted To You
- Suddenly
- Please Mr. Please
- Summer Nights
- Grace and Gratitude
She will actually be at Black Bear on Wednesday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. if you want to catch her again in Minnesota.
You have to believe we are magic, nothin’ can stand in our way…

If you run and this doesn’t get you pumped up, I don’t know what will
So sad I will be out of town for the @wits season opener: @DaveSFoley and @Mike_Doughty_
