Even more driving today – off to the running store, then a BBQ party at the Kellgrens. Later tonight: poker at the neighbors

“Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.”

Kid one (and friend) decided water park number one was lame; asked to be dropped off at water park number two instead

My almost-paid-for 2005 MINI just hit 70K miles today

Had lunch at the gas station customer appreciation event, then took kid one to a new swim park. Now kid two gets to go back to ortho office

Almost time to pick up kid two from the girl scout camp sleepover – can’t wait to hear how it went!

Richard Thompson: Walking On a Wire (1968-2009) – the new Box-set, available from Free Reed for £37.99

Time to catch up on some Angry Mac Bastards

My legs frickin’ hate me now – did the Lebanon Hills mountain bike trail in 42 minutes. Much harder without kid one giving me breaks

It’s so nice out, I think I’ll hit the mountain bike trail before taking a shower

Ran 7.4 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley. Zero bunnies (!), but 3 adult wild turkeys with 5 babies.

Just got back from the Summer ’09 AITG (advertising information technology group) event at Martin Williams. Nice group of people – cool shop

I would like one of these please: D300s SLR Digital Camera w/18-200mm VR II Lens. Need it by the PGA Championship, though

Cook County News: Grand Portage State Park getting new 5800 square foot visitors center at the High Falls, set to open June 2010

Just purchased two tickets to the November Brother Ali show at First Avenue – only $35 including fees!

I wonder how many billions of terabytes of storage in the world are devoted to storing blurry digicam snapshots that no one ever looks at

5:30 came way too early – legs tired and a small sore throat kept me in bed until now. Taking kid two to last day of girl scout camp

So tired and up too late, but needed to catch up online after the big Twins game. Will try to fit in an early morning run too – in 5 hours?

Play ball!

Off to watch the Twins play the White Sox at the Dome. Seems weird it might be my last baseball game there

Last car payment on MINI next month. Might as well sell it now in exchange for new teeth for kid one and kid two

Wish house husband paid better – I’m getting good at it

Ran errands earlier (credit union, lunch at Jimmy John’s, CPAP repair for CMK, Target) – now taking kid one to oral surgeon in Woodbury

The new Brother Ali is hot

I think I have a new love: Lebanon Hills mountain bike trail – 6.36 miles of fun and beautiful terrain located less than 2 miles from home
