The flat iron steak and fries at Barbette may be my all-time favorite meal. And did I mention John C. Reilly was damn funny in Cedar Rapids?

Down to only one orange dashboard warning light in the MINI – that may be as good as it gets until it dies

Slacker afternoon on the couch before heading to Uptown to see Cedar Rapids and have dinner with the wife

Watching Golf Channel from Bay Hill: Orlando and Minneapolis both sunny with blue skies, with only a 53 degree temperature difference

Ha! Pierce as the gimp… 🙂

Dang, Welch Village is closed for the season and I never got to use my pass

I’m detecting a lot of shared themes between the blues and country stations

Sadly, Shazam had no match for the old, live, 15-minute blues jam I just heard

Counted 22 deer on the side of the road outside Cloquet (before stopping for gas)

Relieved there are still a few stations that play music older than me. Big Band reminds me of Tom and Jerry cartoons

OK, so it’s not music, but we have a winner: Christian talk radio. Wow.

The entertainment for tonights commute consists of using the seek button on the radio to find the titleholder for worst song selection

It *looks* like a nice evening on the lake, but still too much ice and cold for spring

Looks like I’ll just try to spruce up my existing WordPress site and theme – not finding anything I really like better

I don’t like the way WordPress manages photo galleries and so far no plugin I’ve seen fixes it very well. Joomla doesn’t look any better

Not sure how I got on the Roy’s email list, but these pictures are making me very, very sad that the closest one is in Chicago

-10F this morning at lake house, but still no new snow and the sun is shining in the blue, blue sky

Evaluating the latest versions of Joomla, iPad and AppleTV this afternoon

Tech bars: awesome vs. dick

It’s nice having friends in high places

Woke up to continued high winds, but also sunshine and not a single flake of new snow – bad weather forecasts, FTW!

Despite the lack of pigs, Angry Birds Rio still managed to burn up about two hours of productivity tonight – curse you Finns!

Angry Birds Rio – not quite the same without the pigs

North winds are howling off of Lake Vermilion tonight (but still no snow)

Weird day: long meetings, dad visit, freezing cold office, blizzard on the doorstep, sore throat, too much Mt. Dew and microwave corn
