DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Made it safely to Fortune Bay to work New Year’s Eve, but geez did the roads get bad the farther north I went


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Sort of weird to see Sammy Davis, Jr. in the bathroom – “Can’t get cell service here”


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Dr. Fink is in the house


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Sound check is complete


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

So glad the snow/rain/sleet mix is moving out of the area – may still try to drive all the way back tonight (tomorrow morning)


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Hello 2012 – got to spend it, fittingly enough, in the server room


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Gave away $24,000 and got my free bottle of champagne, so I’m out of here


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Probably should’ve stayed overnight in Duluth, but safely home by 5AM. Might just sleep through the first day of 2012


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Slept in until 1:30PM and I still feel like I need a nap. Too much Christmas stuff to put away, though


DK @kingsbury • January 1, 2012

Run log code updated for 2012 – can I set a new mileage record this year?


DK @kingsbury • January 2, 2012

Saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy at the Edina Theater and I’m still confused


DK @kingsbury • January 2, 2012

0-4 on Minnesota Millionaire Raffle tickets again this year, so I guess it’s back to work tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • January 2, 2012

First cable TV, now landline phone – disconnected my home phone number today and started living off the four mobile numbers


DK @kingsbury • January 2, 2012

First run of the year cut short due to wind and ice – 4 slippery miles in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • January 2, 2012

Afternoon errands: Leeann Chin, credit union, return NYE drapes, book store and gas station


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

Taking kid two to swim team at Wise tonight – can’t wait to sit in the tropical warmth for an hour


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

Jetpack Joyride is an addicting little distraction, isn’t it?


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

Haven’t had insomnia in a long time, but of course it comes back on the night before I have to get up at 4AM


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

Are the days really getting longer? Still so dark out


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

Let there be light


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

Just made reservations for my birthday dinner


DK @kingsbury • January 3, 2012

The 2012 Wilderness tee sheet is now open – come and get ’em!


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Time for WordPress 3.3.1 updates


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Submitted my support request to Comcast – my comcast.net email account just up and stopped working


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

I don’t really use my comcast.net email account – just wanted to see how much Twitter spam I’d get posting that


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Resort workout: 45# cable cross, 10K bike, 5K treadmill plus a nice new surprise on the wall


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Some definite weirdness floating around today – trying to get back to some web development before dinner tonight at the VC


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Meeting with our video poker rep tonight – hope to have some exciting work news to announce soon


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

More work news: Hairball on St. Patrick’s Day and Air Supply in April. Just listened to some Air Supply on iTunes and had a deja vu moment


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Wow, the Bloomingdale’s at Mall of America is closing? Guess holiday sales weren’t so great after all


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

Being pulled in a million different directions today – wish I could stay on one project for more than ten minutes


DK @kingsbury • January 4, 2012

This “Fox Sports North Plus” thing really doesn’t work well in outstate Minnesota


DK @kingsbury • January 5, 2012

Late resort workout due to that awesome dinner: 5K bike, 5K treadmill and 45/50# cable cross


DK @kingsbury • January 5, 2012

Oh crap, morning meeting at 8AM – better get to sleep soon


DK @kingsbury • January 5, 2012

Too many hours this week (and a headache), so I’m hitting the road now


DK @kingsbury • January 5, 2012

Pit stop in Hinckley


DK @kingsbury • January 6, 2012

Sat in on dinner at Andiamo with the family before heading to Burnsville Center


DK @kingsbury • January 6, 2012

Back to my stamp nerd hobby: finished entering and uploading 1979


DK @kingsbury • January 6, 2012

Morning errands complete – next up: kid two gets *seven* teeth pulled 🙁


DK @kingsbury • January 6, 2012

And just like that, the teeth are gone (but the tears have arrived)


DK @kingsbury • January 6, 2012

Wonderful evening for a run in the Mizuno clothes – 7.4 hilly miles in Eagan and Apple Valley with temps above 40F


DK @kingsbury • January 7, 2012

Drugged out kid two pissed off that I “made” her watch Ghostbusters instead of some dumb Disney Channel movie


DK @kingsbury • January 7, 2012

Way to go Megan – 2:02 in the first half of the Goofy Challenge at Walt Disney World


DK @kingsbury • January 7, 2012

Finally resolved Comcast account access issue – email support was terrible, but online chat was superb


DK @kingsbury • January 7, 2012

BOGO buffet at Mystic Lake with dad


DK @kingsbury • January 7, 2012

Leaving Mystic up almost $200


DK @kingsbury • January 7, 2012

Thumbs up on the Zest Burger at the new Zest Bar and Grill in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • January 8, 2012

PHP/MySQL coding always takes me a long time when I haven’t done it recently, but the results are so powerful


DK @kingsbury • January 8, 2012

Rock on Megan – 4:18:34 at the Walt Disney World Marathon today to get her Goofy medal!


DK @kingsbury • January 8, 2012

Another beautiful winter running day in Minnesota – did the same 7.4 hilly miles in Eagan and Apple Valley (but in the other direction)


DK @kingsbury • January 8, 2012

Visiting the new cousin in the land of cheese


DK @kingsbury • January 8, 2012

Back from Wisconsin – watching a little more football, then pack for work week and maybe check out this Downton Abbey thing


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

Made it about halfway through Downton Abbey before losing interest – well done, but just not my cup of tea


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

Slept in a whole hour – 5AM seems *much* more reasonable


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

Passed the vision test last week, so the new license should be in the mail soon


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

Only to Hinckley – today’s drive seems to be taking forever


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

The moonsetting in Cloquet looks super cool


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

Safely back at work with inbox 200+


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

The McDonald’s is gone from the old gold concourse at MSP?


DK @kingsbury • January 9, 2012

Finally getting to lunch at 3:45PM – crazy day


DK @kingsbury • January 10, 2012

Paying another visit to Black Bear – will make sure not to leave the damn iPhone here this time


DK @kingsbury • January 10, 2012

Netted another $80 tonight – more money for Colorado


DK @kingsbury • January 10, 2012

Late, late 8K run on the resort treadmill with 2×50# cable cross – decent workout


DK @kingsbury • January 10, 2012

A little overwhelmed today, but just trying to remember one thing at a time


DK @kingsbury • January 10, 2012

Just doesn’t seem possible that Star Tours at Disneyland is 25 years old


DK @kingsbury • January 10, 2012

Free birthday ice cream cone from work is a small, but appreciated, token


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

Dusted off my old Rumpus FTP server license, fired it up and created an account for a vendor – worked like a champ


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

Oh come on, Wild, really?


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

Two points is two points. Helping Don at the Hideaway, then exercise room late


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

5K bike, 5K treadmill and 50# cable cross. Loving the new TV in there – Letterman and Ferguson make it less tedious


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

Feeling like I work in marketing today instead of IT – never should have purchased Photoshop


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

Trying out my first-ever Facebook giveaway for work. Curious to see how it goes


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

The power and scope of Facebook is truly amazing


DK @kingsbury • January 11, 2012

Done with my day as honorary marketing team member – wait, everyone works in marketing, right?


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Yeah, that’s more like what we expect up here


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Just spent 90 minutes figuring out my options as a nondependent child of a Delta retiree


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Skipping the exercise room tonight and hopefully falling asleep early


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Got lots of much needed rest last night and woke up to howling winds outside my room – tough to leave the warm bed


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Chef Dan’s tasty lunch special in the Tamarack


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Heading south to see the birthday girl


DK @kingsbury • January 12, 2012

Safely back for the birthday presents – kid one skiing and kid two going skating, so maybe dinner at Mac’s Fish and Chips?


DK @kingsbury • January 13, 2012

Taking kid one to the doctor, then house chores before Megan’s big bouncey birthday tonight


DK @kingsbury • January 13, 2012

Mark me down as “Very G


DK @kingsbury • January 13, 2012

I think the real message was, “don’t visit North Dakota”


DK @kingsbury • January 13, 2012

Only two weeks until Red Rocks, plus I just booked a flight to San Diego for work (leaving March 31)


DK @kingsbury • January 13, 2012

Colorado trip plan: MSP to Lincoln, Lincoln to Red Rocks, Denver to some ski area (?), ski area to North Platte, back home Sunday night


DK @kingsbury • January 14, 2012

Great time at Megan’s bouncy birthday party, with dinner and drink afterwards at Axel’s in Plymouth – donut cakes and Scottish cosmos rock


DK @kingsbury • January 14, 2012

Ran 5K on the basement treadmill before heading to St. Paul to borrow a bigger car for birthday party transport


DK @kingsbury • January 14, 2012

Kid two birthday party at BLB


DK @kingsbury • January 14, 2012

“Gonna rock this club, gonna go all night” – seven pre-teens playing Just Dance 3 in my living room


DK @kingsbury • January 15, 2012

The Red Bull track isn’t the only thing that’s glare ice in St. Paul right now


DK @kingsbury • January 15, 2012

Dropped off surely kid one for a sleepover and took the old lady to Dickey’s BBQ for dinner


DK @kingsbury • January 15, 2012

Hey CBS, the Masters is still four months away, right?


DK @kingsbury • January 15, 2012

More stamp nerd updates online as I watch football today


DK @kingsbury • January 16, 2012

Beat the traffic! Beat the traffic!


DK @kingsbury • January 16, 2012

Heading to Bloomington to find out more about this new non-profit board I’ll be serving on for a year


DK @kingsbury • January 16, 2012

Wasn’t ready to wake up yet, but I have meetings in Tower all day


DK @kingsbury • January 16, 2012

Minor miracle I made the drive this morning without falling asleep – late, dark sunrise plus three hours of sleep


DK @kingsbury • January 16, 2012

Back in my cold office, ready for a cold week in the Northland (forecasted low of -22F tomorrow)


DK @kingsbury • January 17, 2012

Fell asleep for 2 hours after work, but got back up and did 50# cable cross, 10K bike and 8K treadmill while watching the 5-0


DK @kingsbury • January 17, 2012

Now @kilbo has thoughts of self-publishing running through my mind – always wanted to write a book


DK @kingsbury • January 17, 2012

Project overload: web development, ticket/ATM kiosks, MGT upgrades, slot tournament installs, State of the Band, RECON, WELY phones


DK @kingsbury • January 17, 2012

Just broke my new work theme and I’m not exactly sure how it happened or how to fix it – glad it’s still a test site


DK @kingsbury • January 17, 2012

Fixed the template issue – must have had some hidden CSS somewhere that was overwritten


DK @kingsbury • January 18, 2012

Made some web development progress today, but now it’s time to watch the Koivu-less Wild (and we know what that means), then workout


DK @kingsbury • January 18, 2012

I’m guessing Flyers fans enjoyed watching this game much, much more than I did


DK @kingsbury • January 18, 2012

The year in stamps: the 1995 page is now complete


DK @kingsbury • January 18, 2012

FaceTime is one of my favorite technologies of all time


DK @kingsbury • January 18, 2012

Finished an abbreviated resort workout: 50# cable cross, 5K bike, 5K treadmill. I did get the heart rate up to 200 though


DK @kingsbury • January 18, 2012

Not feeling 100% today – a case of the Mondays on Wednesday, it seems


DK @kingsbury • January 19, 2012

Long (but interesting) video poker meeting with the IGT poker expert from CT – now it’s time to introduce her to the VC


DK @kingsbury • January 19, 2012

Did I really just have five drinks at the VC? Probably skipping the exercise room tonight…


DK @kingsbury • January 19, 2012

Lunch with the clown in Cloquet – free wi-fi too


DK @kingsbury • January 19, 2012

Older means wiser, right?


DK @kingsbury • January 19, 2012

Parking ramp Google map studied – time to drive to Manny’s Steakhouse for birthday dinner


DK @kingsbury • January 20, 2012

The Scotch – it burns, it burns!


DK @kingsbury • January 20, 2012

Awesome group of friends at Prohibition to celebrate my birthday – thanks everyone! Sleeping now ’til Saturday


DK @kingsbury • January 20, 2012

Final count yesterday: one Macallan Cask Strength and three epiphany martinis


DK @kingsbury • January 20, 2012

Picking up Brad at Delta building J for lunch somewhere in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • January 20, 2012

Birthday dinner #2 with the in-laws at Carbone’s on Randolph


DK @kingsbury • January 21, 2012

Rough grind through 10K on the treadmill this morning – would much rather be outside


DK @kingsbury • January 21, 2012

Haircut and Zantigo day


DK @kingsbury • January 21, 2012

Focusing on mindless chores this afternoon – laundry, folding, cleaning my office, scanning stamps, online news


DK @kingsbury • January 21, 2012

Birthday dinner #3 at Punch in Highland Park


DK @kingsbury • January 22, 2012

A little more office cleaning and stamp entry before an afternoon on the couch watching football


DK @kingsbury • January 22, 2012

Steven Tyler BLING!


DK @kingsbury • January 22, 2012

I hope the freezing drizzle holds off until after I drive kids all over town


DK @kingsbury • January 23, 2012

Quick basement workout while watching Justified. Really hope ice isn’t an inch thick on the roads at 4:30


DK @kingsbury • January 23, 2012

This drive won’t be fun


DK @kingsbury • January 23, 2012

White knuckle drive pit stop at Grand Casino Hinckley – very thankful for snow tires today


DK @kingsbury • January 23, 2012

I don’t think I’ve ever won at Hinckley 🙁


DK @kingsbury • January 23, 2012

Finally arrived at work (and in one piece). I guess we need the snow, but it was still a pain in the butt


DK @kingsbury • January 23, 2012

Inbox 35 – good enough for today


DK @kingsbury • January 24, 2012

Riding to Black Bear Casino with Don and Chef – roads are much better than this morning


DK @kingsbury • January 24, 2012

I think I need to stop these long Monday excursions


DK @kingsbury • January 24, 2012

I was hoping to get more done this morning before the meeting death march began, but that plan has gone down in flames


DK @kingsbury • January 24, 2012

From Facebook: Atmosphere On The Rocks with Common & Grieves at Red Rocks Amphitheater this Friday is now SOLD OUT!


DK @kingsbury • January 24, 2012

Taking a break from writing employee reviews to gawk at the unreal numbers in the Apple conference call


DK @kingsbury • January 25, 2012

Employee reviews completed – will file the rest of the paperwork tomorrow. Time to punch out and hit the exercise room


DK @kingsbury • January 25, 2012

Standard 50# cable cross, 5K bike and 5K treadmill in the resort exercise room (but run was tough for some reason)


DK @kingsbury • January 25, 2012

Drove the ice highway for the first time this year to have lunch with the mayor at the Tower Cafe


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Done with most of my paperwork, so it’s time to punch out and go exercise before CSI


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Treadmill was a little better tonight (but still boring) – ran/biked 5K each, along with 50# cable cross while watching the timberpuppies


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Unpleasant job task of the day is over 🙁


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Heading to Colorado (with stops in Minneapolis and Lincoln, Nebraska). Just saw a bald eagle get some lunch too


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

The “easy” 230 miles is nearly done


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Car almost ready to go – stopping at Axel’s for some free birthday bull bites on the way out of town


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

First shot from vacation


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Passing the hometown of the lovely Megan – Albert Lea, Minnesota


DK @kingsbury • January 26, 2012

Hello, Iowa! It’s been a long time


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Passing through Des Moines – back in October for the marathon?


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

All of these Iowa license plates are freaking me out


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

I had no idea there were still Happy Chef restaurants


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Fry break


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Welcome to Omaha – Cornhuskers!


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

I heart Nebraska: 75 MPH speed limits!


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Arrived safely at the Holiday Inn Express in Lincoln, NE


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Look kids, it’s the capitol of Nebraska


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Corn-fed moo-moo


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Hey @DillonCody, you guys have a fort now?


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Welcome to Colorful Colorado


DK @kingsbury • January 27, 2012

Arrived early in Denver, so we checked into the hotel before the concert


DK @kingsbury • January 28, 2012

Still as beautiful as ever (and Red Rocks is nice too)


DK @kingsbury • January 28, 2012

Tenth row


DK @kingsbury • January 28, 2012

Fun night at Red Rocks, with Brother Ali out for the last song


DK @kingsbury • January 28, 2012

Change of ski plans: heading to A-Basin today


DK @kingsbury • January 28, 2012

Total crap traffic on I-70 westbound: three lanes of bumper-to-bumper


DK @kingsbury • January 28, 2012

Windy, but still very fun day at Arapahoe basin


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

So long, Colorado – Hello again, Nebraska


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

Rising up like an oasis in the plains – North Platte, Nebraska


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

Safely arrived at our last Holiday Inn Express – so tired


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

I can’t wait to get on the road again


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

Very proud of kid one: music off, mifi on, using laptop to write her report for school


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

Kearney, Grand Island, Lincoln, Omaha, lunch


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

Locally brewed root beer and Omaha Steaks (in Omaha) at the Upstream Brewing Company


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

The people of Iowa welcome us


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

The birthplace of John Wayne *and* the Bridges of Madison County?


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

I feel like I’ve been living this game the past three days


DK @kingsbury • January 29, 2012

Final stop for gas


DK @kingsbury • January 30, 2012

Safely home with no accidents, storms, speeding tickets or breakdowns – a pretty great road trip!


DK @kingsbury • January 30, 2012

Really, really don’t want to be in the car again, but time to make the donuts


DK @kingsbury • January 30, 2012

And now, the snow…


DK @kingsbury • January 30, 2012

Short-staffed today with a couple of call-ins, but sort of nice to be back in the trenches


DK @kingsbury • January 30, 2012

Quickly running out of gas today – can I make it to nap time?


DK @kingsbury • January 31, 2012

Amazingly, still awake and working – installing a few system updates, then a much-needed workout before bed


DK @kingsbury • January 31, 2012

Fire alarm in the resort and there really was a fire – smoke in the lobby


DK @kingsbury • January 31, 2012

All clear – trash can fire has been contained and people have returned to their rooms


DK @kingsbury • January 31, 2012

So before the fire, finished 5K bike and 8K treadmill plus a cable cross bump to 60#


DK @kingsbury • January 31, 2012

These times at the Arrowhead 135 are amazing


DK @kingsbury • January 31, 2012

I really wish I was still back on vacation – too many projects, fires to put out and overall kinks in my grand plan


DK @kingsbury • February 1, 2012

AppleTV for digital signage – good or bad?


DK @kingsbury • February 1, 2012

Ran 5K on the resort treadmill while watching the Wild – an additional 5K planned later tonight


DK @kingsbury • February 1, 2012

Got seriously sidetracked tonight, so the additional 5K will have to wait


DK @kingsbury • February 1, 2012

The cough and sore throat is starting to build today, dammit


DK @kingsbury • February 1, 2012

Seems weird to not be signing up for Grandma’s or Twin Cities this year


DK @kingsbury • February 1, 2012

Kiosk rollout going smoothly so far – need to find a photo slideshow solution for the monitors, though


DK @kingsbury • February 2, 2012

Road trip to Target and Walmart in search of media players – maybe a stop at Black Bear too


DK @kingsbury • February 2, 2012

What a long, long night


DK @kingsbury • February 2, 2012

Throat is sore, but still have a bit of energy. Ride home last night broke down, so I didn’t get to sleep until 3AM


DK @kingsbury • February 2, 2012

Sick and should’ve been sleeping hours ago, but here I am at the VC for dinner


DK @kingsbury • February 3, 2012

Kiosk issue seems to be resolved, so I’m finally hitting the road


DK @kingsbury • February 3, 2012

Dropped the MINI off for a belt check-up (it’s been “squeaking”) in Minneapolis. Hanging out at Starbucks in the interim


DK @kingsbury • February 3, 2012

Looks like the car repair bill will be under $300, so the old MINI lives on


DK @kingsbury • February 3, 2012

Crashed lunch with Colleen, Sam and Megan at Chang Mai Tai in Uptown


DK @kingsbury • February 3, 2012

Off to Julie’s birthday dinner at Jax Cafe


DK @kingsbury • February 4, 2012

Slept in until 11:30, credit union and gas station, now Justified


DK @kingsbury • February 5, 2012

3AM coughing fits are not cool


DK @kingsbury • February 5, 2012

Ran 13 miles along Lake Nokomis and the Mississippi River with Megan


DK @kingsbury • February 5, 2012

Reserved a lane at Treasure Island for the game: unlimited bowling, shoes, one pizza and $30 arcade cards for $50


DK @kingsbury • February 5, 2012

This was a pretty good idea


DK @kingsbury • February 6, 2012

109, 155, 155, 161


DK @kingsbury • February 6, 2012

Up all night coughing, neck and back hurt from bowling and now I’m driving 230 miles to work – this week has to get better, right?


DK @kingsbury • February 6, 2012

Finally made it to work – beautiful room 301 (that I may never leave this week)


DK @kingsbury • February 7, 2012

Lying in bed ever since I got here, but I’m afraid it’s going to be another long night (even with the addition of Robitussin DM)


DK @kingsbury • February 7, 2012

Thanks to my sister, eating some Hawaiian Host chocolates while watching the 5-0


DK @kingsbury • February 7, 2012

The cough syrup helped me sleep through the night, but still feeling crappy today


DK @kingsbury • February 7, 2012

Chicken wild rice soup never tasted better


DK @kingsbury • February 8, 2012

Looks like another Wild game I’ll follow via Twitter only – wish the Center Ice stuff was cheaper (maybe 0.99/game?)


DK @kingsbury • February 8, 2012

Initial Pinterest thoughts: 1) copyright nightmare, 2) like the visual nature of it, 3) cool web design, 4) where are the guys?


DK @kingsbury • February 8, 2012

When it comes to taxes, I’m still old school – downloading state and federal forms to print out and complete this week


DK @kingsbury • February 8, 2012

I am officially registered for the 8th annual Medtronic TC 1 Mile race on May 17, 2012 – the gauntlet has been thrown, @MeganSteil


DK @kingsbury • February 8, 2012

Second night in a row I didn’t wake up coughing, so back to the office I go


DK @kingsbury • February 8, 2012

It’s time to make the donuts


DK @kingsbury • February 9, 2012

OMG – what the hell happened yesterday?


DK @kingsbury • February 9, 2012

Nice breakfast this morning as I try to get the world to stop spinning


DK @kingsbury • February 9, 2012

Heading south for school conferences tonight


DK @kingsbury • February 9, 2012

Better gas station name: Pump-N-Munch or Kum & Go?


DK @kingsbury • February 9, 2012

Such a strange winter – Minnesota driving with the windows open in February


DK @kingsbury • February 9, 2012

Happy hour at Republic on Seven Corners (and no, I didn’t order vodka)


DK @kingsbury • February 10, 2012

Even with cough syrup, up again in the middle of the night – hello, Mighty Eagle


DK @kingsbury • February 10, 2012

Early morning appointment for kid one in Farmington


DK @kingsbury • February 10, 2012

Bought more cough syrup, lottery tickets, gas for MINI and lunch at Leeann Chin. Now kid two is antiquing in St. Paul


DK @kingsbury • February 10, 2012

Need rest, but didn’t want to sleep the afternoon away, so I’m playing stamp geek


DK @kingsbury • February 10, 2012

“Jilly’s On Smack” may be one of the best song titles ever – thanks Primus


DK @kingsbury • February 11, 2012

Interesting fact of the day: about 40 percent of East Asians lack the enzyme to process alcohol


DK @kingsbury • February 11, 2012

Declam ribbon ceremony for kid one; now drooling over the shots of 17 Mile Drive


DK @kingsbury • February 11, 2012

First pass at the federal tax forms is way better than last year (but still not like the old days)


DK @kingsbury • February 12, 2012

Following the woeful Wild via Twitter while watching January Jones in X-Men: First Class


DK @kingsbury • February 12, 2012

Is the SNL musical talent booker on drugs?


DK @kingsbury • February 12, 2012

Contemplating sick vs. healthy, lazy vs. productive, clean vs. messy and happy vs. angry


DK @kingsbury • February 13, 2012

Really fighting to keep my eyes open – glad I’m almost there


DK @kingsbury • February 13, 2012

Safely back in the office and messing with these new Cirago TV units


DK @kingsbury • February 13, 2012

I know this cable< exists, but I need four more (Apple female DVI -> HDMI) - who still sells them?


DK @kingsbury • February 13, 2012

Aha! It came with the mini: 922-9555 HDMI-to-DVI Adapter Cable Mac Mini – Mini Server Mid 2010 A1347


DK @kingsbury • February 14, 2012

Hey, this is the same room I passed out in last week


DK @kingsbury • February 14, 2012

Feels good to be back – 5K bike and treadmill plus 50# cable cross in the resort exercise room


DK @kingsbury • February 14, 2012

Holy crap, work inbox 11 (and I didn’t just delete them all either)


DK @kingsbury • February 14, 2012

Current vices: video poker, potato chips and free Mountain Dew on tap


DK @kingsbury • February 14, 2012

Experimenting with trello.com


DK @kingsbury • February 14, 2012

Heh, I think the old lady was truly surprised by my Valentine’s gift =)


DK @kingsbury • February 15, 2012

Starting the state taxes while listening to the Wild via the online wild.com stream


DK @kingsbury • February 15, 2012

State taxes look decent (unlike the Wild), so it’s off to the exercise room


DK @kingsbury • February 15, 2012

Almost the same workout as last night, but faster and steeper treadmill and +10 on cable cross (but less reps)


DK @kingsbury • February 15, 2012

Code Red and Betty Boop added to phone


DK @kingsbury • February 15, 2012

Weird deal today – my meetings were more productive than everything else


DK @kingsbury • February 15, 2012

It’s not quite “have-my-ticket-purchased” official yet, but looks like I’ll be in Vegas in a few weeks


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Time to wrap it up and go watch the Survivor season premiere


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Such a rare sight this winter: beautiful puffy snowflakes floating down in the Minnesota northland sky


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Used 12 hours of sleep to fight a resurgence of the crud – plus hello Mountain Lion


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Trying to come to grasps with Pinterest again


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Pinterest said copyright problems “haven’t been a significant issue so far.”


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Pinterest seems to be yet another reason not to use Flash on your company site


DK @kingsbury • February 16, 2012

Sounds like I’ll be at the Paris Las Vegas from March 3-7 if anyone is around


DK @kingsbury • February 17, 2012

Paid a visit to Black Bear last night, then couldn’t sleep after I got back. Tonight’s drive might be rough


DK @kingsbury • February 17, 2012

Found a volunteer to cover the Dice Man shows tonight, so I’m headed to the kid’s big birthday party instead


DK @kingsbury • February 17, 2012

Two things I’ll never tire of: McDonald’s fries and Run-D.M.C. songs


DK @kingsbury • February 18, 2012

Hiding in my home office as the rest of the house is taken over by a large mob of teenagers – only 2 hours and 52 minutes left


DK @kingsbury • February 18, 2012

Thanks for the beer, @SummerofJumbo , your timing was perfect


DK @kingsbury • February 18, 2012

Ah, the house is quiet again – happy birthday @sushirocks !


DK @kingsbury • February 18, 2012

Watch battery died, so I ran a “timeless” six miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – the birds think it’s spring


DK @kingsbury • February 18, 2012

Waiting for kid one to get her haircut, then off to Zantigo for late lunch


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Picking up kid one from her movie date, then off to a fundraiser at Cooper’s in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Sucked at charity bingo, but it was pretty fun


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

I wish they’d just add JT to the SNL cast


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Worst in Show: Ralph


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Scanned some more stamp sheets tonight while watching TV


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Starting to see the light at the end of the stamp nerd project tunnel


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Ran 5.5 miles with Megan and the Chili dog along Black Dog Road in Burnsville


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

It was so nice out, decided to run another four miles in Eagan (the square route)


DK @kingsbury • February 19, 2012

Birthday dinner for kid one with grandma and grandpa at Luci Ancora


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Reading all these tweets from First Avenue tonight make me wish I would’ve tried harder for tickets


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Congratulations! You are now registered for Scheels Fargo Marathon


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

I think I must be related to the South Park writers – it’s like they’re reading my mind


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Late start today due to the holiday. Next stop – Hinckley


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Wonder if that big storm is still coming – beautiful sunny sky right now


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Safely back on Lake Vermilion before the (supposed) storm


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Walked out on Vermilion just now (before the storm) and it’s still pretty frozen


DK @kingsbury • February 20, 2012

Claimed Fortune Bay on LinkedIn and made myself admin – so much to manage online now


DK @kingsbury • February 21, 2012

Well that was exciting – trouble with the electronic drawing drum during the President’s Day punch board giveaway


DK @kingsbury • February 21, 2012

Ouch, that was a tough 8K on the resort treadmill. Followed it up with 5K on the bike and a lame attempt at 60# cable cross


DK @kingsbury • February 21, 2012

Honey badger on Letterdude. Honey badger don’t care


DK @kingsbury • February 21, 2012

Not as much snow up here as I thought – maybe a couple inches? Now on to training…


DK @kingsbury • February 21, 2012

Even the kiosk whisperer couldn’t prevent the Flash-based kiosk from locking up


DK @kingsbury • February 22, 2012

Heading to boys night out at Black Bear with D & J


DK @kingsbury • February 22, 2012

Made a small contribution at the Bear, shopped in Cloquet, ran a late 5K on the resort treadmill and now a midnight grilled cheese


DK @kingsbury • February 22, 2012

Full day of training, quick break to buy Vegas ticket and eat first ever salad with ranch dressing for lunch


DK @kingsbury • February 22, 2012

Verified by Visa is more hassle than it’s worth


DK @kingsbury • February 22, 2012

Dear everyone who runs a contest app on Facebook, no you cannot have access to all of that stuff


DK @kingsbury • February 23, 2012

Still planning to run tonight, but right now I just want to zone out in my hotel room and watch Survivor


DK @kingsbury • February 23, 2012

The Matthew Broderick Honda ad just makes me sad – Ferris looks so old and frumpy now


DK @kingsbury • February 23, 2012

Ran 8K on the resort treadmill and felt pretty good, but my attempt at 50# cable cross was feeble


DK @kingsbury • February 23, 2012

My body is physically very tired, but here I am wide awake again at 1AM


DK @kingsbury • February 23, 2012

How come this never happens in real life?


DK @kingsbury • February 23, 2012

Done with training, packed up the make-shift training room, cleaned up some loose ends and hitting the road


DK @kingsbury • February 24, 2012

Trying to stay awake through the end of this Wild-Panthers game, but it’s going to be tough


DK @kingsbury • February 24, 2012

Proud nerd dad – kid two started using Instagram all on her own. I never even told her about it


DK @kingsbury • February 24, 2012

Taking kid one to a couple of appointments, gas station, credit union, breakfast, then double red cell blood donation


DK @kingsbury • February 24, 2012

Do The Two


DK @kingsbury • February 24, 2012

The couch never looked so good – all errands completed and both kids home safely


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Last ever spring social at Deerwood 🙁


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

I wonder if that’s the Greek spelling of cheese curd


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Sitting in the Burnsville Center food court while kid one and her BFF shop


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Met both Foster and Veilleux at player appearances – great guys, but not sure how they will fit in the new regime


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Hotel room booked for Fargo marathon – big pool for the family, race shuttle for me and decent rate


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Ready to run in Minneapolis


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Ran about 11 miles from Nokomis to Harriet and back with Megan – sunny, but cold


DK @kingsbury • February 25, 2012

Family movie day – The Secret World of Arrietty at Regal Eagan


DK @kingsbury • February 26, 2012

Not my favorite Studio Ghibli film, but Arrietty was still fun to see, followed by dinner at Leeann Chin


DK @kingsbury • February 26, 2012

Waiting for Amy at Park Tavern – hope she didn’t get lost on the way from South Korea


DK @kingsbury • February 26, 2012

Really didn’t want to get out of bed, but ran 10 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – the tailwind on the return loop was fantastic


DK @kingsbury • February 26, 2012

Birthday lunch for kid one at the mother-in-law’s house, then the Costello wake in Shoreview


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

The Grammys don’t look so bad now, do they?


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

RIP Mike Costello


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

Heading north after the funeral – zero snow in Hinckley


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

Feel like I’m about to fall asleep and realized I’ve had no caffeine yet today – must stop and visit the clown


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

Thanks Ronald, totally perked up now (and the fries were good too)


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

Safely back at the Bay – almost 100% bone dry roads, two bald eagles and lots of sunshine


DK @kingsbury • February 27, 2012

Huh, I think the National Weather Service actually changed their URLs to weather.gov


DK @kingsbury • February 28, 2012

Driving out to the “other” point tonight, then some 5-0 and a visit to the (hopefully) repaired resort treadmill


DK @kingsbury • February 28, 2012

Missed the 5-0, but still got in a late 5K on the repaired resort treadmill


DK @kingsbury • February 28, 2012

Thanks Dad – he just got us tickets to the April 27th Wits show with Fred Willard and Dan Wilson in St. Paul


DK @kingsbury • February 28, 2012

Can’t stop eating – in the last half hour I’ve had hot tamales, honey roasted peanuts and a slim jim


DK @kingsbury • February 28, 2012

Laptop inbox almost to zero, while the office one is under 50 – hello Vegas!


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Working late while I listen to this lame Wild-Kings game


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Struggled through what should’ve been an easy workout: 5K run, 5K bike and 50# cable cross


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

“One More Disney Day” – Disneyland is open for 24 hours straight today beginning at 6AM


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Nice pancake breakfast in the Tamarack with the guys and now a few snowflakes have started falling outside


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Wow, “travel not advised” on I-35 south of Duluth?


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Spirit Airline’s web site pricing is a little confusing, but I just found a combination of days in June, MSP-LAS roundtrip for $62.08


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Aw, Davy Jones? Heart disease sucks… 🙁


DK @kingsbury • February 29, 2012

Looks like this storm pretty much missed Vermilion – hope they get the roads nice and clear to the south by tomorrow night


DK @kingsbury • March 1, 2012

It’s Wednesday, so it must be mindless TV night


DK @kingsbury • March 1, 2012

Finished the late night short cycle (5K/5K/50#) after three hours of TV slugdom


DK @kingsbury • March 1, 2012

Two more staff meetings today, then heading south before Vegas on Saturday night


DK @kingsbury • March 1, 2012

Monday forecast for Las Vegas is 78F and sunny


DK @kingsbury • March 1, 2012

Thanks MNDOT – Interstate 35 south of Duluth was totally clear of ice and snow


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Siri and I just don’t get along, but I keep trying


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Wild need new TV partners – can’t watch Fox Sports North Plus and NBC Sports Network hardly anywhere. Even KSTC would be better


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Windows 8 CP + VMware Fusion on my MacBook Air just worked – interesting ideas in there


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

A little taste of Mountain Lion today: AirParrot streams a Mac screen to an AppleTV


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Finally watched the 5-0 that I missed on Monday – so cool to have James Caan on with his son


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Friday sleep ins rock – finally up and dressed and heading out to lunch with Mr. Miller at Smashburger


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Giving away stuff on Facebook is pretty entertaining


DK @kingsbury • March 2, 2012

Finished the taxes a while ago, but just remembered to actually mail them in today


DK @kingsbury • March 3, 2012

This Friday night has turned into a bust


DK @kingsbury • March 3, 2012

Hmm, 24 hours out from check-in for my flight to Vegas and Delta still says there are no seats available for selection


DK @kingsbury • March 3, 2012

Not the night I was planning, but I did go buy some new skinny jeans for the trip tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • March 3, 2012

Windy and slippery outside (more snow?), so I ran a hilly 5K on the basement treadmill and finished a set of dumbbell reps


DK @kingsbury • March 3, 2012

Running out to Mystic Lake to drive Don to the airport, followed by haircuts and Zantigo


DK @kingsbury • March 3, 2012

Braved the wind and ran another 5.5 miles with Megan and Chili along Black Dog Road before heading to the airport


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Oversold coach seat now or free first class upgrade in 90 minutes?


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Wow, just got a free upgrade to first class on the *earlier* flight – thanks Delta!


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Landed safely at LAS – free drinks in first class rocks (the hot towel was cool too)


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Just lost my ass on day one in Vegas – learned that free drinks don’t exactly help the cause (down $70 out of $300)


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Good morning sunshine – Sunday in Vegas


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Best chicken and waffle breakfast ever at Planet Hollywood


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Grabbing lunch at Pink’s Hot Dogs before the conference starts


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

If the next couple of speakers don’t get better, this could be my least favorite conference ever


DK @kingsbury • March 4, 2012

Marketing didn’t agree, but I liked the second group of presenters much more than the first


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Last panel of the day re: online poker was very interesting


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Heading to the diamond lounge at Paris for free food and drinks, then maybe over to the Cosmopolitan


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Don’t know what this was called, but it tasted good


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Dinner at Holsteins: Cereal Bowl spiked milkshake, Nom Nom Burger and shoestring fries


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Glorious six mile run up and down the Strip – sunshine, shorts and lots of my people


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Opening remarks from Mayor Goodman (and friends)


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

First speaker today was the CFO from Caesars Entertainment, who gave a very good keynote


DK @kingsbury • March 5, 2012

Visionaries Panel was very good and now listening to the gaming beat writers from the WSJ and the Las Vegas Review-Journal


DK @kingsbury • March 6, 2012

Afternoon sessions have been more focused on finance and legislation, but still some interesting things for me to learn about


DK @kingsbury • March 6, 2012

Walked over to Caesar’s Palace to visit the Forum Shops Apple Store, then went to Bally’s before dinner at Paris


DK @kingsbury • March 6, 2012

Three sessions to go – limping to the finish line


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

Holy crap, I think there’s a wind chill in Vegas right now – must’ve dropped 20 degrees in the past 3 hours


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

It dropped from 73F to 59F, with wind gusts of 60mph (and actual rain on the radar)


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

Kinda lame sitting in my room watching TV and playing WwF, but definitely cheaper than the last few nights


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

Got back up to meet Don @PBRrockbar for some Doritos crusted mac and cheese


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

All rested and mostly packed – time to standby at LAS for an earlier flight home


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

The 1:35 flight went out full, but at least there’s free wifi here


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

And there goes the 3:30 flight full – original flight it is. Time to hit Cinnabon, I guess


DK @kingsbury • March 7, 2012

Upgraded my phone to iOS 5.1 over the airport wifi and now it thinks it’s 4G


DK @kingsbury • March 8, 2012

Hmm, RHCP at Target Center in October for $59?


DK @kingsbury • March 8, 2012

Hurray – I finally get to leave this airport


DK @kingsbury • March 8, 2012

Landed safely at MSP


DK @kingsbury • March 8, 2012

MSHSL Boys Hockey Tournament in HD for free over the air on 45 – how was Hill-Murray unseeded? Eagan up next


DK @kingsbury • March 8, 2012

Had a feeling Eagan would have trouble with the Spuds


DK @kingsbury • March 9, 2012

Ran 4 miles with Megan and Chili in Eagan – so windy out tonight


DK @kingsbury • March 9, 2012

Pretty sure I love MSHSL championship hockey more than collegiate and pro combined


DK @kingsbury • March 9, 2012

Glad I remembered to wake up before 10AM so I could buy RHCP tickets


DK @kingsbury • March 9, 2012

Trying to fight the sock monster while waiting for my parents to pick us up for lunch


DK @kingsbury • March 10, 2012

Dinner with the girls at Annie’s Parlour before visiting Mary

Driving the girls to St. Paul for a baby shower, then a run up and down Summit in this 60-degree weather


DK @kingsbury • March 10, 2012

Ran 11 miles in St. Paul along Summit, Mississippi River Blvd and St. Clair


DK @kingsbury • March 10, 2012

Waiting for three teen girls to finish shopping at Plato’s Closet before heading to Raising Canes for dinner


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

One more game on Championship Saturday – hope it’s not a blow-out


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

Crazy good hockey tonight – wish I could be watching the Gophers too


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

Finally, a decent musical guest on SNL


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

It was slow and ugly, but finished 17 miles in Minneapolis around Nokomis, Harriet and Calhoun – more unbelievable weather


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

Waiting for the doors to open at the X


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Wild game at the X, but the free wifi is much appreciated


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

Closet seats we’ve ever had


DK @kingsbury • March 11, 2012

Wifi at the game and no tweets from @Russostrib 🙁


DK @kingsbury • March 12, 2012

Despite the loss, still a fun time with the girls tonight – the NHL is such a fast, physical game up close


DK @kingsbury • March 12, 2012

Rained the whole drive north today – still lots of snow on the Wilderness, though


DK @kingsbury • March 12, 2012

The peanut butter sandwich girl scout cookies my sister brought me from Wisconsin are like crack


DK @kingsbury • March 12, 2012

I would also like to state for the record that I have no first hand experience with crack (but damn those cookies are good)


DK @kingsbury • March 13, 2012

The first of four new web sites I need to launch is nearly ready


DK @kingsbury • March 13, 2012

And the meetings begin

National Golf Foundation: 46 course openings and 107 closures in 2010


DK @kingsbury • March 13, 2012

What creative ways do you find to handle stress, Allina?


DK @kingsbury • March 14, 2012

I don’t know how much Subway paid Common, but one of them got a good deal


DK @kingsbury • March 14, 2012

Lower legs feeling a little funny, so I skipped the treadmill and did 10K on the bike plus 50# cable cross


DK @kingsbury • March 14, 2012

For some strange reason, I have a strong desire to visit Knott’s Berry Farm again


DK @kingsbury • March 14, 2012

Heading to Hibbing Community College for an advisory board meeting


DK @kingsbury • March 14, 2012

It’s nice in the Northland today too, but still planning to stay inside for Wednesday TV night and late indoor workout


DK @kingsbury • March 15, 2012

Must have been more tired than I thought – skipped the workout last night and slept in this morning


DK @kingsbury • March 15, 2012

I don’t really care much about the whole Goldman Sachs thing, but 12,000 of your 30,000 employees are vice presidents?


DK @kingsbury • March 15, 2012

Frontier metro Ethernet and DSL outages this morning – AT&T MiFi coming in handy


DK @kingsbury • March 15, 2012

The big ice pile on the balcony is now 100% gone (but it still feels a little chilly out)

Working from my hotel room so I can watch the WCHA Final Five on TV

Quick run to the VC for dinner


DK @kingsbury • March 16, 2012

Watched UND beat SCSU while working out (5K bike, 5K run and 50# cable cross). Really wish I could go to the Gophers game tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • March 16, 2012

Slot tournament meeting completed – time to grab some lunch and head to Nett Lake for a fiber broadband project update


DK @kingsbury • March 16, 2012

Gordy says wimpy winter brings March 27 opener


DK @kingsbury • March 16, 2012

So what is the medical diagnosis when it feels like you are wearing a hat, but aren’t?


DK @kingsbury • March 17, 2012

Now I’m glad I didn’t spend the $150 for tickets to the Gophers game tonight – wow


DK @kingsbury • March 17, 2012

Ran 14 hilly miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – thank you Mother Nature


DK @kingsbury • March 17, 2012

Irish bowling and burgers with kid two at Ranham Bowling Center/Nook


DK @kingsbury • March 17, 2012

Do they score differently in St. Paul or have I been doing it wrong all these years?


DK @kingsbury • March 17, 2012

Put air in the bike tires and took a ride around town with kid two


DK @kingsbury • March 17, 2012

Trying to figure out old YouTube accounts vs my multitude of Google Accounts was almost enough to make me throw the laptop out the window


DK @kingsbury • March 18, 2012

Avoided the crowds while visiting kid one’s friend at Children’s St. Paul and now just walked right in to BWW for dinner


DK @kingsbury • March 18, 2012

Sports TV overload at BWW Eagan


DK @kingsbury • March 18, 2012

Almost made it to bed early, but I’ve been summoned to Hell’s Kitchen


DK @kingsbury • March 18, 2012

More live music from Hell’s Kitchen


DK @kingsbury • March 18, 2012

Drove from downtown Minneapolis back home with the windows down tonight – felt like LA (minus the traffic)

Blue Sky Blackout was pretty awesome tonight


DK @kingsbury • March 18, 2012

Safely back at work and the early morning vendor I was expecting is hard at work setting up a new server

Another vendor snuck up here from Minneapolis today (hey @ChadAGermann), so I’m sitting in on another meeting

DK @kingsbury • March 20, 2012

Ahh, chicken sliders and caramel apples for lunch during a too short break in a very hectic day


DK @kingsbury • March 20, 2012

Mind fried and stupid TV night isn’t until tomorrow

Rain, lakes with no ice and an appointment to remove the snow tires tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • March 23, 2012

Gift card dinner at Panera, clothes shopping/returns and family movie night at the stroke of midnight


DK @kingsbury • March 23, 2012

I’m sure the movie will be good tonight, but I still think “The Humpty Games” would be even better


DK @kingsbury • March 23, 2012

Starting to really like having a Mi-Fi in the bag – no other wireless at the tire store


DK @kingsbury • March 23, 2012

Who needs the range? Straight to the first tee at Valleywood – bogey on one

Wasn’t planning to stay that long at Nami happy hour, but good meeting and “interesting” cucumber/sake martini


DK @kingsbury • March 27, 2012

Oh drat, seems that I might have to extend my San Diego trip by a day


DK @kingsbury • March 29, 2012

Wanted to sleep early, but gutting out the standard 5K bike/run & 60# cable cross in the exercise room


DK @kingsbury • March 29, 2012

I am lucky to have a core group of friends who are caring, smart and ever insightful about this crazy world


DK @kingsbury • March 29, 2012

Holy smokes, what a chaotic morning – really nice to have AT&T here

DK @kingsbury • March 31, 2012

Door was closed, everyone was seated and the APU went out on the A320 – waiting for maintenance 🙁


DK @kingsbury • March 31, 2012

And it looks like we are going to go with the broken APU – almost ready to push back


DK @kingsbury • April 1, 2012

Landed safely in San Diego (despite the busted equipment)

Cool opening night reception on the USS Midway

I can’t believe that airport security at SAN actually have signs that say “PLEASE, NO JOKES”


DK @kingsbury • April 4, 2012

Is every commercial flight everywhere now sold out? Packed liked a sardine in seat 19F, ready to leave Cali


DK @kingsbury • April 5, 2012

Landed safely at MSP – thanks Delta!

Next stop: Gordy’s Hi-Hat


DK @kingsbury • April 9, 2012

Early spring apparently means early road construction – Interstate 35E is one lane in both directions for at least 9 miles


DK @kingsbury • April 9, 2012

This little April cold spell (complete with snowflakes) better not mess with the golf course opener on Friday


DK @kingsbury • April 9, 2012

Holy crap, if it’s this cold in Cloquet, I’m sure Tower will be just lovely


DK @kingsbury • April 10, 2012

Safely back at the resort – only “a bit” colder than Cloquet


DK @kingsbury • April 10, 2012

The day is nearly over and there is still so much to do – making OK progress thanks to checklists, though

After not reading the news for a week in San Diego, I think I really might not be missing all that much

Lazy Sunday – packing at the cabin and heading back to the resort this afternoon. Maybe a run later if it doesn’t start snowing


DK @kingsbury • April 15, 2012

34 years? Horse racing really needs a Triple Crown winner

Safely back in the rainy, dreary metro – taking kid two to MOA before kid one’s play tonight

Raining hard enough here now to knock out the satellite TV – bit of lightning too (hope the floor stays up)


DK @kingsbury • May 2, 2012

Left leg very sore – going to try the “driving range cure” and see if that helps


DK @kingsbury • May 2, 2012

Lunch break


DK @kingsbury • May 2, 2012

Just ridiculous how great The Wilderness at Fortune Bay is right now – perfect fairways, fast greens, great staff and food (shot an 88)


DK @kingsbury • May 3, 2012

Working late tonight (with the Wednesday night shows on in the background)


DK @kingsbury • May 3, 2012

Wish I could actually watch that Rangers-Caps game – online audio just isn’t the same


DK @kingsbury • May 3, 2012

Gabby is back!


DK @kingsbury • May 3, 2012

Hate days that start with a headache – feeling very out of it right now


DK @kingsbury • May 3, 2012

Based on the MINI’s windshield, I’d say the annual Minnesota bug invasion is in full swing


DK @kingsbury • May 3, 2012

Changed out of the northern Minnesota attire and into shorts and a Hawaiian shirt before heading to Carbone’s on Randolph


DK @kingsbury • May 4, 2012

Ortho and breakfast with the girls, laundry, a hilly 7+ miles in Eagan and Apple Valley and lots of paperwork before the big 4:30 meeting


DK @kingsbury • May 4, 2012

R.I.P. MCA 🙁


DK @kingsbury • May 4, 2012

Not ashamed to admit I’ve got tears in my eyes as I load up the Beastie Boys playlist in iTunes this afternoon


DK @kingsbury • May 4, 2012

Finally done chasing down numbers – ready for this meeting to be over so the weekend can start


DK @kingsbury • May 4, 2012

Good meeting – on to dinner at the new MOA Asian place, Stir Crazy


DK @kingsbury • May 5, 2012

British Open golf weather this morning in Minnesota


DK @kingsbury • May 5, 2012

Missed a par putt on 18 that would’ve got me in the 70s for the first time ever – shot 80 from the whites at Ridges at Sand Creek


DK @kingsbury • May 5, 2012

Kentucky Derby in HD for free over the air – will we be betting on it next year at Fortune Bay?


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Thanks MPR for posting this old Beastie Boys radio takeover


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

How did I never hear “Booming Granny” by the Beastie Boys until today?


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Ran a rain-free 19 miles in Minneapolis: Nokomis, Minnehaha, Harriet, Calhoun and Lake of the Isles


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Saw a naked women at the end of the main Lake Calhoun dock. In other news, Lake Calhoun is now my favorite Minneapolis lake


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Lunch with the family at the Pizza Ranch (trying the City Pages “best fried chicken”)


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Congrats Kings – nice to see them do well after so many down years


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Visiting IKEA on a Sunday after a long run was stupid (and the desk I went there for has been discontinued)


DK @kingsbury • May 6, 2012

Love the staff at Run N Fun in Burnsville (and St. Paul) – new shoes for the wife and kid one, shorts for me


DK @kingsbury • May 7, 2012

Spring has sprung at the Wilderness, just in time for the high school tournament


DK @kingsbury • May 7, 2012

Cleaning up my office while watching the live stream from the Minnesota state capitol


DK @kingsbury • May 8, 2012

Damn, thought fireworks were coming back from the dead in the Vikings bill


DK @kingsbury • May 8, 2012

RIP Maurice Sendak – the Wild Things exhibit in SFO will always have a special place in my heart


DK @kingsbury • May 8, 2012

Can’t believe I’m now watching the senate debate too – feel bad for the capitol reporters that do this all the time


DK @kingsbury • May 8, 2012

Senator Nienow has eight kids? That must explain why he keeps talking – probably doesn’t want to go home


DK @kingsbury • May 9, 2012

Cool, cloudy night on Lake Vermilion with loons calling – ran 7.4 miles on the Echo Point route (Fargo Marathon in 11 days!)


DK @kingsbury • May 9, 2012

Additional workout time in the exercise room tonight: 10K bike and a mini 50# cable cross


DK @kingsbury • May 9, 2012

Macau hotels look pretty awesome


DK @kingsbury • May 10, 2012

Slow Twitter day (not sure why) – time for a little dumb TV escape


DK @kingsbury • May 10, 2012

Way too many days waking up with headaches this year


DK @kingsbury • May 10, 2012

Thursdays aren’t usually a big meeting day, but today was – hitting the road soon


DK @kingsbury • May 10, 2012

It’s going to be a long summer on I-35


DK @kingsbury • May 10, 2012

Made it just in time to see kid two’s first swim heat in Bloomington; leaving for kid one’s concert shortly


DK @kingsbury • May 11, 2012

Great night seeing kid two swim, kid one play tuba and both of them celebrate at DQ afterwards


DK @kingsbury • May 11, 2012

Wow, the owners of Parkview Golf Course want to sell to a housing developer? Wonder why they spent money upgrading the place


DK @kingsbury • May 11, 2012

Solo lunch at the new Colossal Cafe in Saint Anthony Park


DK @kingsbury • May 11, 2012

Watching a documentary with Jimmy Iovine, who is wearing Beats headphones, a white Nike hat and a red leather jacket

Benmont Tench might be my favorite band member name ever


DK @kingsbury • May 12, 2012

Thanks Grandpa Smith for the wonderful steak dinner at Cherokee Sirloin Room


DK @kingsbury • May 12, 2012

Lots of good Netflix today: Exit Through the Gift Shop, Game of Thrones and Weeds


DK @kingsbury • May 12, 2012

Somebody stole my iPhone today – tracked it online and decided to remote wipe, but that means I can’t track it any more


DK @kingsbury • May 12, 2012

Shot an unofficial 88 from the white tees at Bluff Creek (missed four holes while searching for the stupid phone)


DK @kingsbury • May 12, 2012

Heading in to Saint Paul for a walk around Como and visits with the moms

DK @kingsbury • May 13, 2012

Mother’s Day food prep: breakfast orange rolls bedside, lunch at Gather and dinner at Red Robin


DK @kingsbury • May 14, 2012

Three hours of Survivor to close out Mother’s Day


DK @kingsbury • May 14, 2012

Safely back in the office, but the entire morning just seemed to disappear


DK @kingsbury • May 14, 2012

Replacement phone on order from AT&T, but still dealing with withdrawal symptoms


DK @kingsbury • May 14, 2012

Really wish the weekend weather forecast in Fargo had Saturday and Sunday reversed


DK @kingsbury • May 14, 2012

Sweet – The Jets are playing Grand Casino Hinckley on July 3rd


DK @kingsbury • May 14, 2012

Taking a little side trip to Duluth


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

Back from Duluth – didn’t realize that city has a Skid Row


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

Awesome – the D on Letterdude


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

Fedex says my phone replacement is on the way from DC and should be here by 4:30


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

I think I’ll just stop looking at the Fargo weather forecast for now – hot thunderstorms are not what I was hoping for


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

Restoring iPhone from backup…


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

The Tapemark is looking for an intern


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

Hmm, apps don’t get backed up in iTunes when you use a different laptop? The app data seems to be there


DK @kingsbury • May 15, 2012

The low here tonight is forecast to be 33F – do you hear that, Fargo?


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Tonight’s seven miler on Echo Point was speed limited


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Hmm, now there is a freeze warning and the new low might be 29F


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

I’d be pretty happy to see the Kings win it all this year


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Road trips today to visit the other BFDC businesses


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Ely is pretty great


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Super busy day today: Express Lube, WELY, Ely area attraction photos, comp meeting, lunch, marketing group and trip to Nett Lake


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Good meeting in Nett Lake with Jim Gray – heading to the Fortune Bay marina next


DK @kingsbury • May 16, 2012

Really wanted to hit The Wilderness tonight, but the driving range will have to do for now


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

The flowers are busting out all over


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

Thought about a short treadmill run tonight (or even a swim), but wimped out altogether


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

Alabama Shakes opening for Neil Young and Crazy Horse, two nights at Red Rocks in August


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

Too much going on to keep straight, but I’m packing up and heading to the TC 1 Mile no matter what


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

Wind, rain and road construction – off to pick up Megan


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

Be safe, all those in and around Ely


DK @kingsbury • May 17, 2012

Made it with plenty of time to spare


DK @kingsbury • May 18, 2012

Big Ginger with the Allina crew at The Local – 6:29 tonight after pulling up gimpy halfway through the TC 1 Mile 🙁


DK @kingsbury • May 18, 2012

Cautiously optimistic about the knee so far this morning


DK @kingsbury • May 18, 2012

Laundry, packing, Target, windshield fluid refill, restoring apps to phone, plant run to St. Paul and picking up kids soon


DK @kingsbury • May 18, 2012

Made it to the Expo


DK @kingsbury • May 18, 2012

Picked up the 1001 race packet, got the knee taped up, checked in at the hotel and heading to Happy Joe’s for pizza and pasta


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

The carbo load


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

Kids are rocking Shipwreck Bay while I try to stop freaking out about the knee


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

As ready as I’ll ever be this weekend, I guess


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

Ran a very conservative race to protect the knee, so I guess the 4:57 is a small price to pay for NYC


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

There is ham sandwich under all that gravy, I promise


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

Pretty sure this pink KT Band was the difference between finishing and dropping out today


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

Bye, bye North Dakota – thanks for the great hospitality


DK @kingsbury • May 19, 2012

Five down, forty-five to go


DK @kingsbury • May 20, 2012

Hello, couch, don’t plan to leave you until I’m out of Weeds episodes and Mick Jagger says goodnight on SNL


DK @kingsbury • May 20, 2012

Just slept through half of Sunday, but feeling pretty decent now


DK @kingsbury • May 20, 2012

A game I actually get to watch – Go Kings Go!


DK @kingsbury • May 20, 2012

One more domain transferred from GoDaddy to Hover – ten more to go


DK @kingsbury • May 20, 2012

Another piece of my childhood is gone – RIP Robin Gibb


DK @kingsbury • May 21, 2012

It’s that time of the year again – starting work on the 2012 Tapemark database and web pages


DK @kingsbury • May 21, 2012

Heading out to Mystic Lake soon for the 20th Annual Great Plains Indian Gaming Conference and Tradeshow


DK @kingsbury • May 22, 2012

Fun course inspection round at The Meadows (86 from the whites with a birdie on 18)


DK @kingsbury • May 22, 2012

Finally back from “work” – even without alcohol, Mystic can be a lot of fun


DK @kingsbury • May 22, 2012

The new Coda stuff looks great, but I sense a bit of a learning curve and/or process re-alignment for my site workflows


DK @kingsbury • May 22, 2012

Crappy morning drive back to Mystic, but donuts, egg and bacon sandwiches and Mt. Dew were waiting for me


DK @kingsbury • May 22, 2012

Kinda wish I could run Grandma’s and still get back in time for Rock the Garden, but not this year


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

IGT party at Brackett’s Crossing


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

You know you work for the right people when the CEO buys everyone tequila shots


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

And now Peter Gabriel at Red Rocks – Colorado is looking awfully good these days


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

Grabbing lunch at the Minnehaha Cafe, then heading home to work


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

Not fond of the hot summer-like winds; hoping the thunderstorms move in soon and cool things off


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

How did I miss this Live at Reading Nirvana CD until now?


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

Looks like I have a guaranteed entry into the TC 10 Mile if I want it


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

If anybody wants to pay 2006 prices for a house in Eagan, please inquire within


DK @kingsbury • May 23, 2012

Actually got a boatload of things finished this afternoon – now brats on the grill, followed by kid two swim team


DK @kingsbury • May 24, 2012

Swim, fishy, swim


DK @kingsbury • May 24, 2012

Long and productive Tapemark meeting at SVCC, accompanied by the wonderful ham and cheese omelet


DK @kingsbury • May 24, 2012

A rainy Thursday turned out to be the perfect time to snag a table at Tilia in Linden Hills


DK @kingsbury • May 25, 2012

Nice to finally meet Alissa – and during her golden birthday celebration too


DK @kingsbury • May 25, 2012

Gabe the Bulldog may be my favorite stupid pet trick ever


DK @kingsbury • May 25, 2012

I love how sometimes my Twitter account gets referenced by Kingsbury tube station in London and Kingsbury Plaza in Chicago


DK @kingsbury • May 25, 2012

Lots of St. Paul time: clinic, children’s hospital to visit Mikey Boom-Boom, Little Szechuan and more


DK @kingsbury • May 25, 2012

After working on mint for a couple of hours, I remember why I stopped using Quicken


DK @kingsbury • May 25, 2012

Assessing the basement situation – maybe I should just rent a dumpster


DK @kingsbury • May 26, 2012

Watching season three of The Muppet Show – whatever happened to Rita Coolidge?


DK @kingsbury • May 26, 2012

Leo Sayer singing The Show Must Go On with Animal on drums and a bald, smoking, banjo-playing muppet


DK @kingsbury • May 26, 2012

Sad – Izaty’s (redesign) architect John Harbottle, 53, died yesterday after a heart attack in California


DK @kingsbury • May 26, 2012

More golf course fires to put out, Tapemark web design, Muppet Show episodes, haircuts, kitten party and Bachelor Farmer


DK @kingsbury • May 26, 2012

Not managing the stress well today and the Mountain Dew from Zantigo flying across the floor of the car didn’t help


DK @kingsbury • May 27, 2012

I need to write a review of The Bachelor Farmer, but I just want to sleep. Spoiler: new favorite place in the 612


DK @kingsbury • May 27, 2012

Work up stupid early to run 6 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – knee felt OK, but I went pretty slow


DK @kingsbury • May 27, 2012

Meant to say “woke up stupid early” to beat the heat wave, but now I have a headache and just want to sleep


DK @kingsbury • May 28, 2012

Semi-productive day today, despite losing hours to a headache – lawn care and new clippings bin before the rain


DK @kingsbury • May 28, 2012

Too bad I can’t put my Jetpack Joyride accomplishments on my résumé


DK @kingsbury • May 28, 2012

Seems like this whole wave of thunderstorms is going to miss us in Eagan – so close


DK @kingsbury • May 28, 2012

Remote access is the best part of tech support – no need for anyone to drive in to fix stuff


DK @kingsbury • May 28, 2012

Shoe recycling at REI, walk around Lake Harriet an lunch at Bread & Pickle


DK @kingsbury • May 29, 2012

Glad we don’t have outdoor picnics every day in the summer – can’t stop eating


DK @kingsbury • May 29, 2012

Early start to a jam-packed short week – directors meeting, webdev lunch, interviews and more


DK @kingsbury • May 29, 2012

Just saw a Bulldogs Hockey license plate frame around a personalized plate that said SIEVE


DK @kingsbury • May 30, 2012

Had dinner with mom, dad and my sister at Bay View, but now it’s late night catch-up time in the office


DK @kingsbury • May 30, 2012

Tower tonight: 35F; tomorrow night: 33F – glad I packed the running pants this week


DK @kingsbury • May 30, 2012

More golf course network fun, council meeting, interviews and web development


DK @kingsbury • May 31, 2012

Forgot how many little things there are to do when launching even a “simple” web site


DK @kingsbury • May 31, 2012

The VC’s status: LOOKS LIKE A GOOD DAY FOR DRINKIN! !!!!! (and it’s wing night)


DK @kingsbury • May 31, 2012

Still awake, but made a lot of progress tonight – 23 hours until deadline


DK @kingsbury • May 31, 2012

Done with all the meetings for the day, so head down and full speed ahead on web site launch


DK @kingsbury • May 31, 2012

Got my Photoshop CS6 license and installer issues cleared up, but I probably shouldn’t install it in the middle of a project, right?


DK @kingsbury • June 1, 2012

I need to get the hell out of my office


DK @kingsbury • June 1, 2012

Can’t believe I’m still working on this damn web site – it’s like a never-ending story


DK @kingsbury • June 1, 2012

The new site isn’t live yet, but at least I got far enough to pass it along for approval


DK @kingsbury • June 1, 2012

Time to move from Fortune Bay stress to Tapemark Charity Pro-Am stress


DK @kingsbury • June 1, 2012

Stopping to see Gordy for a little late lunch


DK @kingsbury • June 1, 2012

Fish and chips in Cloquet


DK @kingsbury • June 2, 2012

Light Groupon dinner at Andiamo with 3/4 of the family (kid two is at a Brainerd cabin thing this weekend)


DK @kingsbury • June 2, 2012

Shocked: kid one asked to go for a run tonight


DK @kingsbury • June 2, 2012

Ran/walked 3 miles with kid one tonight in Eagan – still amazed she asked to go


DK @kingsbury • June 2, 2012

Photoshop CS6 installed and licensed, new web database created and site folder copied – enough tech for today. Biking and golf in AM


DK @kingsbury • June 2, 2012

Woke up with a headache, so the biking got axed. No way I’m skipping Southview, though


DK @kingsbury • June 2, 2012

Hit some great shots today, but still struggled to a 92 from the whites at SVCC. Round followed by TMCPA final meeting – drawing tomorrow!


DK @kingsbury • June 3, 2012

Played wedding crasher tonight in Apple Valley


DK @kingsbury • June 3, 2012

Tapemark Drawing Night at SVCC – one hour to freak out time


DK @kingsbury • June 3, 2012

The drawing is about to begin


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

One more event completed – only a few more stressful ones this week and then summer can finally start


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

I’m loving the forecast for northern Minnesota this week


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

Stopping for breakfast at the Tobies counter


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

The big breakfast has made me way too tired – not good for more driving


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

Safely back at work for a short work week before TMCPA 2012


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

Finally saw Tiger’s chip at 16 – what a gutsy shot!


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

Lots of great people playing the MN Senior Open at Edina CC today


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

Direct marketing stat of the day: 17% of the U.S. population changes addresses each year


DK @kingsbury • June 4, 2012

My last elementary school newsletter (sniff)


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

I can’t watch game three of the *finals* online? Come on, NHL, you can’t find a sponsor for that?


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

Tonight will be a massive codefest – haven’t had one of those for a long time


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

At least I can listen to Kings radio online – Go Kings Go!


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

I sorta feel bad for Marty


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

I forgot how much programming requires perfection. It’s too late at night for perfection


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

That’s it, I’m throwing in the towel. Two more screens to program in the morning before the women’s scores start posting


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

Good luck to all of the players in the inaugural women’s championship flight at the Tapemark


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

OH: “Mom, where are you going?” – “The bar.”


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

Just another day at the office


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

Congrats to Don Berry for winning what I believe is his first Minnesota Senior Open at Edina CC


DK @kingsbury • June 5, 2012

Went against my own new rule and moved back to The Wilderness blue tees today for a change and shot 92


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

So happy all of that code I wrote last night mostly held up under attack today, but why I am still in the office tonight?


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

Nice – the Trattoria Da Vinci guy is going in the old Joe Senser Eagan location


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

Changing DNS and registrar configurations, but would rather be outside doing just about anything else


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

No Bodemeister at the Belmont? Thats a little disappointing


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

Salty McDonald’s fries + carbonated Coca-Cola = happiness


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

Stopped at Black Bear to see my friend and use my $5 in free play – no big wins today


DK @kingsbury • June 6, 2012

35E southbound was horrible today – ick


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Despite the traffic, made it to dinner at Green Mill with kid two and now her last swim team session at Wise


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Thank you National Running Day for reminding me why – 7.4 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley, just for me


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Nice to see the glow bug nightclubs are open for business again


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Beautiful morning and fun ride at Lebanon Hills today – beware the wild turkey!


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Back from Southview for one last onsite review – a little more code to write tonight, then we’re ready to roll at 6:30am


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Printed Michaels coupon, took kid two and friends to buy school project items, walked back to car with coupon still in pocket


DK @kingsbury • June 7, 2012

Heading to the Saucony event at Marathon Sports and a hot run around Harriet


DK @kingsbury • June 8, 2012

Great time at the Saucony event – won a door prize, free pizza and beer, picked up some new shorts and Kinvara 3s (Saucony)


DK @kingsbury • June 8, 2012

The grass was freshly mown and the first ball was just hit in the 2012 Tapemark Charity Pro-Am at SVCC


DK @kingsbury • June 8, 2012

It wouldn’t be a Tapemark without on-the-fly coding in the tent


DK @kingsbury • June 8, 2012

Snuck out of the scoring tent for a couple hours to catch the big talent show on the last day of elementary school


DK @kingsbury • June 8, 2012

Skipping White Castle this year for this


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

Six teams left on the course, then packing it up, heading home and writing more code for tomorrow’s big board


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

Too tired to write code – going to bed early so I can finish things in the tent at 5:30am


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

Not really in the coding state of mind, but I need to add some automation to the jumbotron today


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

Live tweets are now up on the Jumbotron – charity challenge leader board ready to go, slides up next


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

It’s not really that hot (87F), but this tent is pretty brutal – trying not to move


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

Done with Jumbotron slide coding (and hopefully all coding for this year)


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

The official Tapemark Charity Pro-Am page needs more “likes” on Facebook – will you help us out? https://t.co/4S1vQlvL


DK @kingsbury • June 9, 2012

Manage the stress, manage the stress, manage the stress…


DK @kingsbury • June 10, 2012

All the teams are in and cut numbers determined – now calculating Sunday tee times, updating the web site and heading for dinner


DK @kingsbury • June 10, 2012

The database is updated for madecut (with online scoreboards showing MC), Sunday tee times/teams entered and extra groups created


DK @kingsbury • June 10, 2012

Back in the tent – hope the new Sunday women’s code holds up today


DK @kingsbury • June 10, 2012

Dammit, I wasn’t planning to write this much tent code today


DK @kingsbury • June 10, 2012

Another hot one in the tent, and with winds gusting to 33mph, it feels like this thing will do a Wizard of Oz any minute now


DK @kingsbury • June 11, 2012

Late dinner with the wife at Tavern on France – pretty sure there is now a monsoon outside


DK @kingsbury • June 11, 2012

Totally needed to sleep in this morning – would’ve crashed the car for sure if I left at 5:30


DK @kingsbury • June 11, 2012

Nice post-event lunch meeting at SVCC before driving back to Vermilion


DK @kingsbury • June 11, 2012

Ah, the Northland – raining, windy and 54F


DK @kingsbury • June 11, 2012

Hmm…maxed out 13-inch MBA or entry-level Retina Display 15-inch MBP?


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Just told the forecasted low here tonight is 41F – feels good after sitting in an oven all weekend


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Thank you NHL and NBC for having a finals game I can actually watch tonight


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Not a bad night: Stanley Cup finals on TV and replay of the WWDC keynote during the intermissions


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

What’s with the crappy mic that Phil Schiller was using?


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Will Minnesota fans ever get to be this excited at the X?


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Way to go, Kings!


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

So happy for Willie Mitchell


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Feels like the North Shore outside today – misty and 45F


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

Are you kidding me? The 16th at Olympic Club is playing 670 yards for the Open?!?


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

What a bargain: 480GB MBA replacement SSD at OWC


DK @kingsbury • June 12, 2012

The new Fortune Bay web site is out in the wild


DK @kingsbury • June 13, 2012

Nice little practice session over at The Wilderness in anticipation of tomorrow’s chamber of commerce tournament in Virginia


DK @kingsbury • June 13, 2012

Laurentian Chamber of Commerce golf tournament


DK @kingsbury • June 14, 2012

Stupid headache almost ruined my True Blood season premiere


DK @kingsbury • June 14, 2012

And the stupid headache is still here this morning, despite all the Advil


DK @kingsbury • June 14, 2012

Lots of little things to get done (and one meeting) before working my way over to Grand Marais


DK @kingsbury • June 14, 2012

The highway 1 detour south of Ely sure was a scenic gravel adventure


DK @kingsbury • June 14, 2012

Hello again, big lake


DK @kingsbury • June 14, 2012

Great Northland street name: Naughty Pine Road


DK @kingsbury • June 15, 2012

Had dinner at the Harbor Light with mom and dad, then a fun trip to Grand Portage to scope out the competition


DK @kingsbury • June 15, 2012

In honor of Grandma’s, ran 3 miles on Croftville Road. Good luck to everyone – really wish I was there with you all


DK @kingsbury • June 15, 2012

Dropped off kid two just in time for rehearsal in Tower, now kid one and I are hanging out at the resort for a bit


DK @kingsbury • June 15, 2012

Hit a new R11 on the range while being closely watched and mentored by the golf GM and head professional


DK @kingsbury • June 16, 2012

Nice to see @SummerofJumbo on Vermilion before the big Birch Point party at the Batinich compound


DK @kingsbury • June 16, 2012

Very late drive home + very early tee time + 7 hour concert can’t possibly turn out good


DK @kingsbury • June 16, 2012

Good front 9, but a poor back side on my way to an 87 from the whites at Ridges at Sand Creek


DK @kingsbury • June 16, 2012

Time to Rock the Garden


DK @kingsbury • June 17, 2012

Skipped out on The Hold Steady and stopped at BWW for some outdoor patio wings and the last 2 holes of the Open


DK @kingsbury • June 17, 2012

Love this Father’s Day gift: no alarm clock set for tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • June 17, 2012

No U.S. Open until 3? I guess sleeping in until noon wasn’t long enough


DK @kingsbury • June 17, 2012

Great chicken lunch from Rooster’s BBQ Deli in St. Paul, to be followed by six hours of HD U.S. Open coverage


DK @kingsbury • June 17, 2012

First upgrade to WordPress 3.4 went fine – no issues that I can see (despite the smaller number of base files)


DK @kingsbury • June 18, 2012

I wish Hazeltine would go after another Open


DK @kingsbury • June 18, 2012

Padraig Harrington looks younger now than when I saw him at Winged Foot


DK @kingsbury • June 18, 2012

Favorite WordPress 3.4 thing so far: support for custom post types and featured images in XML-RPC


DK @kingsbury • June 18, 2012

The lightning show tonight is intense, plus here comes the wind and rain


DK @kingsbury • June 18, 2012

Glad it stopped raining – MIGA golf tournament today at Mystic Lake


DK @kingsbury • June 18, 2012

Head cold and/or allergies, sunny skies, low 90Fs and a six-hour golf tournament before my four hour drive north – ick


DK @kingsbury • June 19, 2012

A very late (but safe) return to the Northland


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

I love working at a joint that can make me a grilled cheese sandwich almost 24 hours a day


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

Sitting under a comforter on my balcony at Fortune Bay watching the thunderstorms roll by


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

The mosquitos have found the balcony – time to head back inside


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

Left the screen door open on the balcony to hear the rain and now there are loons calling from Lake Vermilion – ahh


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

Successfully streaming the new Linkin Park album from iTunes over the hotel wi-fi


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

The Current gets the Walker and the Grandstand right, now how about bringing back @DearDara ?


DK @kingsbury • June 20, 2012

Watching Steve Ballmer and the Microsoft Surface event makes me wish I didn’t work in IT


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

I think it’s FTS o’clock


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

So ready for a little True Blood escapism


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

Whoa, I haven’t seen this time on the clock in a long time – at least it was slightly productive


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

Now this is just getting ridiculous – pushing 3:30am?


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

I wonder if Larry will still let me play golf on his new island


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

Fell asleep just as the shades got bright and woke up a few hours later, but at least I got some work done


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

Beginning the trek south – hope I can find some non-flooded roads to get around the closures


DK @kingsbury • June 21, 2012

Hurray – highway 33 southbound was open north of Cloquet (crazy water draining, though)


DK @kingsbury • June 22, 2012

Home safely, car refueled and washed and late chicken dinner waiting for me


DK @kingsbury • June 22, 2012

RIP “Negative Tim” and all the other B.P.M. M.C. brothers


DK @kingsbury • June 22, 2012

Working on a bunch of stuff – stay tuned…


DK @kingsbury • June 22, 2012

New hoopty purchased, now on to birthday dinner number one at Red Robin


DK @kingsbury • June 23, 2012

Birthday lunch at Psycho Suzi’s before the wedding


DK @kingsbury • June 24, 2012

Wedding, reception and 8pm showing of The Avengers at AMC Rosedale


DK @kingsbury • June 24, 2012

Shot an 89 from the white tees at The Summit in Cannon Falls


DK @kingsbury • June 24, 2012

Post-golf schedule: clean office, gather financial info, multiple loads of laundry, pick up kid two and dinner with Colleen in Edina


DK @kingsbury • June 25, 2012

The inaugural commute in the Fit was a success – love the new iPod integration


DK @kingsbury • June 25, 2012

Trying to reverse-engineer a 12-year-old Apache/Oracle monstrosity with a mod pl/sql gateway running on Win Server


DK @kingsbury • June 26, 2012

Really want some VC pizza, but too lazy to drive to the VC


DK @kingsbury • June 26, 2012

Just made a 6:00am reservation for the Staten Island Ferry


DK @kingsbury • June 26, 2012

15 days since the new site launched and we’ve had visitors from 49 states, 17K page views and 3616 unique visitors


DK @kingsbury • June 26, 2012

Oops – looks like I accidentally removed our analytics code last week, so those numbers were just for 10 days


DK @kingsbury • June 26, 2012

Screw it, I’m going to the VC


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

This can’t be right – the wireless at the VC is actually connected to the internet tonight


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Hockey Day Minnesota 2013 will be on my birthday – which game should I attend?


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

If the doctor approves, I think I’ve found my next marathon training plan, which would officially start July 16


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Email overload – I’ve been working Outlook all morning and I’m still not at inbox 100 yet


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Inbox 12 – time for lunch


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Created Garmin Connect account, installed software on the Air, updating firmware on the watch – now I just need the OK to run


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Suddenly everything’s coming up Milhouse


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Trying out a hacked standing desk setup this afternoon using the new Thunderbolt display


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Two sites updated to WordPress 3.4.1 – the rest need to wait for a bit


DK @kingsbury • June 27, 2012

Prepping a new MacBook Air for the PR manager and here’s the hacked standing setup


DK @kingsbury • June 28, 2012

Sweet, the True Blood repeat is still at 9pm and not midnight – stupid time zones


DK @kingsbury • June 28, 2012

First @DearDara and now @JenkinsCritic – who will tell me where to eat now?


DK @kingsbury • June 28, 2012

No fair – Maple Grove and Coon Rapids are getting Chick-fil-A


DK @kingsbury • June 28, 2012

It’s hard to believe that Hazeltine is 50 years old this season – when do you switch from modern to classic?


DK @kingsbury • June 29, 2012

Attended a “walk the lazy river” session in Apple Valley tonight with three other guys and about 100 women


DK @kingsbury • June 29, 2012

Nothing personal, but there are far too many doctors and lawyers in my life right now


DK @kingsbury • June 30, 2012

A Zantigo on a hot summer night with no power, soda fountain, fryer or air conditioning is a sad, sad place to be


DK @kingsbury • June 30, 2012

Uploaded some old Minnesota Golf Champions photos from 2007-09 to the golf shots page


DK @kingsbury • June 30, 2012

Looking at Mickelson’s major record: five seconds at the U.S. Open with no wins; one T2 and a 3rd at Open Championship with no wins


DK @kingsbury • June 30, 2012

It’s going to be a warm one at Southview today


DK @kingsbury • June 30, 2012

Hit the ball well today, but couldn’t score: 93 from the whites at SVCC with Bob Jr.


DK @kingsbury • July 1, 2012

Quick St. Paul visit – Punch Pizza and Grand Ole Creamery with Tangela


DK @kingsbury • July 1, 2012

So much paperwork – to be continued tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • July 1, 2012

More old golf tournament photos uploaded, including Windsong Farm, Minikahda, Winged Foot, Wi-Ko-Pa, Wilderness


DK @kingsbury • July 1, 2012

Time to mow the clover patch


DK @kingsbury • July 2, 2012

This Sunday project sucks worse than taxes, but eyes on the prize


DK @kingsbury • July 2, 2012

Nice to have company on the commute this week – stopped at Tobies for donuts and a caramel roll


DK @kingsbury • July 2, 2012

Arrived safely back in the Northland with all three passengers – very, very warm here


DK @kingsbury • July 2, 2012

Still can’t believe that Rush Creek built a new nine-hole par three course (opens Sunday)


DK @kingsbury • July 3, 2012

iPhone alarm failure = no early morning run 🙁


DK @kingsbury • July 4, 2012

Another evening on Birch Point at Dacha Batinich with Mary, Alex, Ann, Steve the Mayor and the rest of the gang


DK @kingsbury • July 4, 2012

Steve and I <3 the froufrou drinks


DK @kingsbury • July 4, 2012

Back in the saddle again – Garmin reports 6.89 miles at 9:20 pace, 969 calories burned and 192 ft elevation gain


DK @kingsbury • July 4, 2012

Waiting for the big parade in Tower


DK @kingsbury • July 4, 2012

Went from sweating to jackets and whitecaps in under an hour


DK @kingsbury • July 5, 2012

I think we’ll just try to watch the Tower fireworks from the end of the dock on Birch Point – such a sacrifice, eh?


DK @kingsbury • July 5, 2012

Fourth of July photos are up here


DK @kingsbury • July 5, 2012

Good morning Coleraine – why must you be so hot?


DK @kingsbury • July 5, 2012

Golf is a silly game – shot 91 from the whites at Eagle Ridge, but hit some of the worst shots of my life


DK @kingsbury • July 6, 2012

Skip-Bo time with Alex, Ann and Steve the Mayor


DK @kingsbury • July 6, 2012

Rainy and cool this morning – hate to drive south


DK @kingsbury • July 6, 2012

Yup, should’ve stayed up north one more day. May try to ride Lebanon tonight, though


DK @kingsbury • July 6, 2012

Too hot to cook at home, so kid two and I hit Noodles (curse you, TG)


DK @kingsbury • July 6, 2012

And I think it’s hotter inside the restaurant – yuck


DK @kingsbury • July 7, 2012

Perfect: cold front hits Lebanon Hills, no people there, clean loop around and legs felt great – score!


DK @kingsbury • July 7, 2012

Kid two watching Malcolm in the Middle on Netflix and I keep waiting for the meth lab scene


DK @kingsbury • July 7, 2012

That giant pack of Tour de France riders is insane – one sneeze and they all go down, no?


DK @kingsbury • July 7, 2012

I’m in Luck (that never gets old)


DK @kingsbury • July 7, 2012

Pretty lucky: another day, another lake


DK @kingsbury • July 8, 2012

Burned off some of the clam dip – ran 4.18 dark, hilly miles in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • July 8, 2012

Ran 7.65 hot, hilly trail miles with Megan in Lebanon Hills (Holland Lake area) – 1,411 ft of elevation gain!


DK @kingsbury • July 9, 2012

Hanging out with the girls at “our table” in the Eagan Leeann Chin


DK @kingsbury • July 9, 2012

All good so far: no body scanners, paperless via Delta iPhone app, moved from middle seat to aisle and flight on time


DK @kingsbury • July 9, 2012

I knew it was too good to be true: maintenance delay, hot plane and surrounded by trolls


DK @kingsbury • July 9, 2012

Stupid 23-year-old airplanes and their cracked bathroom drains


DK @kingsbury • July 9, 2012

Totally jinxed it – first plane broken, walked from G13 to D2, everyone has to wait in line to check-in again?


DK @kingsbury • July 9, 2012

Mechanical fail + reservation system fail, but no one seems visibly angry


DK @kingsbury • July 10, 2012

Seated on plane number two – at least it’s cool


DK @kingsbury • July 10, 2012

Landed safely at STL


DK @kingsbury • July 10, 2012

I fricken love 100 hand poker 🙂


DK @kingsbury • July 10, 2012

Switched to 50 hand poker during the conference break and hit one royal for 4000 pennies


DK @kingsbury • July 10, 2012

Very useful information during day one of the Oasis 360 User Summit


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

Free drinks and awesome apps at the ATI party


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

Just when I thought it couldn’t get better than cheez-it covered mac & cheese in a glass, along came Oreo cheesecake


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

Still ahead $70, but tonight was rough (and I couldn’t get on a poker table)


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

This place totally gets me: chicken and waffles for breakfast


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

Sometimes the state of technology makes me wish I went to bartender school instead


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

A few technologies I’m really not fond of: PowerPoint, interfaces written in Visual Basic, typing on the iPhone, ugly fonts, DSL modems


DK @kingsbury • July 11, 2012

Thanks Delta for getting me to MSP safely (and on an earlier flight at no extra charge)


DK @kingsbury • July 12, 2012

Love the atmosphere and food at Barrio, but this is the second time the service has been slooooooow


DK @kingsbury • July 12, 2012

Lots of great food memories in this story


DK @kingsbury • July 12, 2012

Today was a total waste of time and I’m pretty OK with that


DK @kingsbury • July 13, 2012

Ran 10K on the new zoo loop in Eagan and Apple Valley – very dark and late, but much cooler now


DK @kingsbury • July 13, 2012

Lots of laundry, haircut, lunch with Brad at BWW, more laundry and playing taxi for the kids


DK @kingsbury • July 14, 2012

Thank you Cheapo’s St. Paul, for helping to clear out the basement of CDs and DVDs


DK @kingsbury • July 14, 2012

Thanks for the email, @SummerofJumbo – you rock


DK @kingsbury • July 14, 2012

Up early on a Saturday means only one of two things


DK @kingsbury • July 14, 2012

A tale of two nines: shot 90 from the whites at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan (41-49)


DK @kingsbury • July 14, 2012

Another hot, dirty trail run with Megan at Holland Lake – a slow 5+ miles


DK @kingsbury • July 14, 2012

Kinda forgot what a pain showings are – hanging out in St. Paul during the latest exile


DK @kingsbury • July 15, 2012

Breakfast at J’s and plotting where to go during today’s exile


DK @kingsbury • July 15, 2012

Wasting time with the girls at IKEA


DK @kingsbury • July 15, 2012

Wanted to be at Kid Rock tonight, but dinner with kid two is pretty damn good too


DK @kingsbury • July 16, 2012

Sunday night fry run with the girls


DK @kingsbury • July 16, 2012

Can’t sleep tonight, so might as well just get dressed and start driving


DK @kingsbury • July 16, 2012

Rain on the Range


DK @kingsbury • July 16, 2012

Kinda nice to be back in the office (and definitely nice to not be driving tired)


DK @kingsbury • July 16, 2012

About to pass out from lack of sleep, but making good progress on getting the office organized


DK @kingsbury • July 17, 2012

Got tons of sleep last night to get caught up and I believe fall marathon training officially begins tonight


DK @kingsbury • July 17, 2012

Free wifi at MSP, just in time for G2E


DK @kingsbury • July 17, 2012

Just realized I haven’t played The Wilderness in a month and a half – so spoiled


DK @kingsbury • July 17, 2012

Six more domains transferred from GoDaddy to Hover – only four more to go


DK @kingsbury • July 18, 2012

The first day of the plan said an easy three, so I ran a slow 5K on Echo Point tonight


DK @kingsbury • July 18, 2012

Forgot black shoes this week, so I went shopping for pants tonight and had a very hard time finding my size (32/34) – popular or rare?


DK @kingsbury • July 18, 2012

Thumbs up on Thomas’ honey wheat English muffins


DK @kingsbury • July 18, 2012

Stay positive. Stay positive. Stay positive.


DK @kingsbury • July 18, 2012

Taking kid one to see Atmosphere again in September – this time we only have to drive to the Cabooze


DK @kingsbury • July 18, 2012

Could really use a few drinks tonight, but I’ll have to settle for my “5 miles hills” from the plan


DK @kingsbury • July 19, 2012

Need to find a hillier route, but ran 5 miles along Gold Mine Trail and Echo Point Road


DK @kingsbury • July 19, 2012

Glad I stayed up to watch TBT on Craigers


DK @kingsbury • July 19, 2012

Dang, Open coverage doesn’t start for another three hours


DK @kingsbury • July 19, 2012

Staff meeting complete, WordPress training sites configured and launched for the team and heading for cheap employee lunch at the deli


DK @kingsbury • July 19, 2012

Packing up and heading out – back to the heat, traffic and stress of the metro


DK @kingsbury • July 19, 2012

Gut-buster: need to retool my brain to think water, bananas and apples are just as tasty as Mt. Dew, fries and chips


DK @kingsbury • July 20, 2012

The Masters: “we regret to inform you that your application was not selected for tickets”


DK @kingsbury • July 20, 2012

Done driving around for a few hours – back to watching The Open while resting in bed and trying to get this headache to go away


DK @kingsbury • July 21, 2012

The rooftop deck at Moto-I is pretty nice – celebrating Megan’s last day at Allina Health


DK @kingsbury • July 21, 2012

Slow, late night five miler in Eagan and Apple Valley


DK @kingsbury • July 21, 2012

Thank goodness for online streaming from the UK – The Open on ESPN only


DK @kingsbury • July 21, 2012

Heading to Carson Park in Eau Claire for Bill’s 75th birthday picnic


DK @kingsbury • July 22, 2012

Kid one joined me for the easy three miler tonight in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • July 22, 2012

SNL summer rerun observation – Abby Elliott is pretty cute


DK @kingsbury • July 22, 2012

Training week 1 complete: ran 9 slow and humid miles in Minneapolis along Nokomis and Minnehaha Creek


DK @kingsbury • July 22, 2012

BTW: to all the people who smile, wave, say hi or good morning – you make the world a better place


DK @kingsbury • July 22, 2012

Go Ernie Go!


DK @kingsbury • July 22, 2012

I don’t feel that bad for Adam Scott – he probably just made more money than I’ll see in 10 years. For playing golf.


DK @kingsbury • July 23, 2012

Finishing the last load of laundry at 10:30PM – why do I let it pile up so high?


DK @kingsbury • July 23, 2012

Mac and cheese craving satisfied


DK @kingsbury • July 23, 2012

Monday morning appointment in St. Paul before heading north for a long concert week


DK @kingsbury • July 23, 2012

Safely back in the office – and just in time for deli pizza


DK @kingsbury • July 23, 2012

Thank you Tenacious D, Lily Allen and Lady Sovereign for the f’in awesome lyrics


DK @kingsbury • July 24, 2012

Dinner with Mary and Alex


DK @kingsbury • July 24, 2012

Apparently my packing skills are shot – last week, no black shoes; this week, only one pair of underwear


DK @kingsbury • July 24, 2012

I wish my revenue and net income were “only” up 20%


DK @kingsbury • July 24, 2012

Target run due to my lack of packing skills, then an easy 3 miles on Echo Point


DK @kingsbury • July 25, 2012

Oh great, Paul Revere and the Raiders most popular song is called “Indian Reservation?”


DK @kingsbury • July 25, 2012

This time I’ll read a couple reviews and backup before taking the leap into Mountain Lion


DK @kingsbury • July 25, 2012

Mental health day: golf and gambling, but not together (shot 89 at The Wilderness, driving to Black Bear)


DK @kingsbury • July 26, 2012

Nice lightning storm moving across the Range right now


DK @kingsbury • July 26, 2012

Hmm, sending tweets directly from the OS may increase the number of tweets I actually send


DK @kingsbury • July 26, 2012

Lunch with the family at the Tower Cafe


DK @kingsbury • July 26, 2012

Pouring rain here now – may have to get wet so I can eat some VC pizza tonight


DK @kingsbury • July 27, 2012

Hmm, go run in the rain and darkness or double up mileage in the morning?


DK @kingsbury • July 27, 2012

Ran 6 damp and hilly miles on Birch Point – glad I went out, as the rain slowed and I actually picked up the pace a bit


DK @kingsbury • July 27, 2012

Payroll, interesting phone call, lunch at the Tamarack, Ely Blueberry Days and the St. Louis County Fair – plus perfect weather


DK @kingsbury • July 28, 2012

Nice gathering at the Crescent; now off to Duluth for a night (and hopefully a morning run along Lake Superior)


DK @kingsbury • July 28, 2012

Ran 9 beautiful miles in Duluth along the lake, but no sign of @LeAnn_Wallace


DK @kingsbury • July 28, 2012

Bunny Berigan is such a great name


DK @kingsbury • July 28, 2012

Back at the Bay for concert setup


DK @kingsbury • July 28, 2012

Autographs here


DK @kingsbury • July 29, 2012

Uploading photos and then I’m out of here – late night drive to the Twin Cities


DK @kingsbury • July 29, 2012

Fries and a Coke


DK @kingsbury • July 29, 2012

Home safe, but realized “Fries and a Coke” could have been my last tweet. Guess it could’ve been worse


DK @kingsbury • July 29, 2012

Slept in, but have mowing, laundry, paperwork, Target run and 9 miles on the agenda before early commute tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • July 29, 2012

Today’s tasks have been pre-empted by women’s beach volleyball


DK @kingsbury • July 29, 2012

That was one expensive Target trip – school supplies, groceries, running shirt and some cheap sunglasses


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

I guess 75F, 78% humidity and 68F dew point are as good as it gets – off for my run


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

Ran 9 steamy miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – late night runs on moonlit trails do have a certain charm to them


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

Wonder what I forgot to pack this week


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

The Fit has a 10.6 gallon tank, the fuel light comes on with 1.6 left and I’m getting 34 city and 37 highway so far


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

Safely back in the office – wasn’t I just here?


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

So you have to be a cable TV subscriber to watch the NBC online coverage? My $62 a month for internet isn’t enough?


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

So I got a free four-hour pass to watch, only to find frequent, random commercials that happen right in the middle of action


DK @kingsbury • July 30, 2012

Heh – “The Oak Tree” by Morris Day just came up on shuffle play


DK @kingsbury • July 31, 2012

Pretty awesome day today and now I get to relax with some tape-delayed London action


DK @kingsbury • July 31, 2012

Must have been a boring Olympic night – fell asleep before 8 and didn’t get up until the sun was shining


DK @kingsbury • July 31, 2012

Lots of variety today at work – vendor discussions, a new iPad config, web development, online gaming, facilities planning and HR stuff


DK @kingsbury • July 31, 2012

I may be biased, but I don’t know anyone who likes The Quarry more than The Wilderness


DK @kingsbury • August 1, 2012

The whole concept of synchronized diving and swimming is just bizarre to me


DK @kingsbury • August 1, 2012

Per the plan, ran an easy 4 miles tonight on Gold Mine Trail and Echo Point


DK @kingsbury • August 1, 2012

This (plus add in the part about online requiring a cable TV account)


DK @kingsbury • August 1, 2012

Less than two hours to go before the Craft Beer & Scotch Tasting event at The Wilderness Grill


DK @kingsbury • August 1, 2012

Certified Evil and Mad River Brewing Company Steelhead Porter


DK @kingsbury • August 2, 2012

Wednesday wing night at the VC


DK @kingsbury • August 2, 2012

Played nine holes at The Wilderness after the tasting and apparently drinking makes no difference on my score (45 with 2 birdies)


DK @kingsbury • August 2, 2012

Didn’t hit snooze for an hour and actually went for a morning run – six slow, hilly miles on Echo Point under a beautiful blue sky


DK @kingsbury • August 2, 2012

Short day at work, lunch at the Tamarack, Pier 77 mini golf, drop off package at AIC, Depot and Alabama Shakes at First Ave


DK @kingsbury • August 2, 2012

If I had to drive that rush hour traffic again every day, I’m convinced I’d have a heart attack or end up in jail


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

Trying a bacon cheeseburger at First Ave (Depot was full). Wife was too scared to order anything


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

Sad that @FirstAvenue didn’t do trivia tonight – I was all prepared!


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

Alabama Shakes walks on stage to Jungle Love 🙂


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

The Alabama Shakes bassist is the chillest dude I’ve ever seen on stage at First Ave


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

Kid two lifeguard lessons, Minneapolis delivery, leaky faucet repair, kid one pickup and BOGO lunch at Smashburger


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

First time I’ve seen “LIVE” on an NBC screen in a week – just in time for the women’s 10K


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

First time I’ve seen Hazeltine say they are looking for members in a loooog time


DK @kingsbury • August 3, 2012

All of my plans for the rest of the day have collapsed, so I guess it’s frozen pizza, Olympics and a late run


DK @kingsbury • August 4, 2012

OK, maybe just frozen pizza and the Olympics – still hot, so the run will have to wait until the morning


DK @kingsbury • August 4, 2012

Ran 9 miles from Nokomis to Harriet along Minnehaha Creek with Megan


DK @kingsbury • August 4, 2012

Exhibition at the Loft, Moonrise Kingdom at the Grandview and dinner at the Groveland Tap


DK @kingsbury • August 5, 2012

Pretty sure that the Grandview 1 & 2 in St. Paul hasn’t changed anything in 30 years (except for the digital projector)


DK @kingsbury • August 5, 2012

The live feed from Lollapalooza of RHCP is amazing – can’t for the Minneapolis show


DK @kingsbury • August 5, 2012

Ran 11 miles in Eagan (Lebanon Hills Holland and Jensen Lake trails). Perfect temps today, especially in the shade


DK @kingsbury • August 5, 2012

TBT live at Lollapalooza right now


DK @kingsbury • August 5, 2012

Way to go Don Berry (-4) and Dave Tentis (-2) at the 3M Championship


DK @kingsbury • August 6, 2012

Dang, forgot about Jack White at Lollapalooza and missed the start


DK @kingsbury • August 6, 2012

This Jack White girl band/boy band thing is a trip (and must be expensive for touring)


DK @kingsbury • August 6, 2012

Need to get up early, but it’s so close to the Mars thing and NBC has more Olympics stuff to keep me occupied


DK @kingsbury • August 6, 2012

So many excited nerds in one room!


DK @kingsbury • August 6, 2012

Haven’t seen a hitchhiker in a long time – Eveleth to south Minneapolis


DK @kingsbury • August 6, 2012

No way – it’s PGA Championship week already? Summer’s over


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

Vermilion boat ride


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

Bayview!


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

Fun night on the lake with John, Ann and Steve – Washington Apples at Bayview taste good


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

And I never knew they had ping pong there – all hail John the victor!


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

Morning meetings and afternoon golf


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

Could it be any nicer today?


DK @kingsbury • August 7, 2012

Fun time on the Wilderness with John and Alex this afternoon – just barely shot under Alex’s age (91 from the whites)


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

Alright, caught up on work messages, so it’s off for a quick 4 miler, then over to the anniversary party for drinks


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

There is a definite chill in the air tonight in the Northland


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

Oh, and gas just jumped up 20 cents


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

I don’t think Earl’s cheesy poofs and Mike’s hard lemonade are part of the official marathon training plan


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

Woke up with a sinus headache and went back to sleep until noon – not the most productive day ever


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

I really, really wish that the @StarTribune would get rid of the auto-page refreshes on their site – at least for story pages


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

Marilyn Manson covering Hotel California


DK @kingsbury • August 8, 2012

Somebody is cooking with a charcoal grill outside and it smells like camp


DK @kingsbury • August 9, 2012

Ran 6 hilly miles on Birch Point – 2 dogs, 1 buck and many, many loon calls


DK @kingsbury • August 9, 2012

Seriously, NBC? Either bring back the Olympics or put on the local news


DK @kingsbury • August 9, 2012

Trying out the breakfast menu at the Wilderness Grill before hitting the road early today


DK @kingsbury • August 9, 2012

I can’t believe the windshield on the new Honda just cracked – no rock or anything


DK @kingsbury • August 10, 2012

Ran 6 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – first time with all 7 or 8 splits in months


DK @kingsbury • August 10, 2012

Yesterday Uncle Dan, today Uncle Brian – lunch with mom, dad, Brian and the girls at Granite City


DK @kingsbury • August 10, 2012

Sweet, the new mini server has been installed at macminicolo.net and is ready for configuration and customization


DK @kingsbury • August 10, 2012

Laundry and lawn (mostly) finished – time to head to the Canterbury Park Food Truck Festival


DK @kingsbury • August 10, 2012

This is like bad food heaven


DK @kingsbury • August 11, 2012

Thank you Pita Chick for winning the 8th race and completing my Pick Four, which totally saved the night


DK @kingsbury • August 11, 2012

Ran 3 slow, boring miles in Eagan with a surprising amount of discomfort


DK @kingsbury • August 11, 2012

And traffic just stopped on I-35 north


DK @kingsbury • August 11, 2012

Tried Erbert and Gerbert’s in Cloquet for the first time – yum


DK @kingsbury • August 11, 2012

Play some Skynyrd, man


DK @kingsbury • August 12, 2012

If it’s 3:30, it must be Grand Marais


DK @kingsbury • August 12, 2012

Ran 10 slow miles on the North Shore along Highway 61 from Croftville to Cliff Creek – kinda warm for the big lake


DK @kingsbury • August 12, 2012

Post-run pizza from Sven and Ole’s


DK @kingsbury • August 13, 2012

Mini golf and lighthouse visit with the girls and casino trip to Grand Portage with dad – one of us left $11 up


DK @kingsbury • August 13, 2012

So sad – no chocolate donuts at World’s Best Donuts today


DK @kingsbury • August 13, 2012

Lunch with mom and the girls at Chez Jude


DK @kingsbury • August 13, 2012

What a beautiful day in Grand Marais


DK @kingsbury • August 13, 2012

Sassafras!


DK @kingsbury • August 13, 2012

The new single track mountain bike trail in Tofte kicked my butt


DK @kingsbury • August 14, 2012

Nice relaxing night lying in bed with chicken from the deli and shark week on the TV


DK @kingsbury • August 14, 2012

GlobalGolfPost calls out Tom Dolby for worst single-round PGA Championship score by a club pro (94 in 2002 at Hazeltine)


DK @kingsbury • August 14, 2012

They also say Kiawah played two yards longer than the previous longest PGA, which was a 7674-yard Hazeltine in 2009


DK @kingsbury • August 14, 2012

Glen Hansard on Letterman – get to see him in Minneapolis again the day before leaving for Vegas and G2E (so spoiled)


DK @kingsbury • August 14, 2012

Not the most productive day, especially when it ends with cleaning up address book entries


DK @kingsbury • August 15, 2012

Ran 4 miles on a sorta new route along Gold Mine Trail, past the marina and out to Whiskey Point – perfect weather


DK @kingsbury • August 15, 2012

Prepping for a big server migration, but taking a break to clear out the work inbox


DK @kingsbury • August 15, 2012

Time for a meeting at The Wilderness with Mr. Beaudry – a nine hole meeting


DK @kingsbury • August 16, 2012

Front nine 43 and a bonus back nine 41 with Mr. Shuster for probably my best score ever from the blues at The Wilderness


DK @kingsbury • August 16, 2012

Went to the VC with Shuey for Wednesday Wing Night, but the wait for wings was an hour so we went with pizza instead


DK @kingsbury • August 16, 2012

Forerunner 610 firmware updating…


DK @kingsbury • August 16, 2012

Ran 7 slow, hilly miles to the end of Echo Point in a windy, 55F drizzle – Summer’s over!


DK @kingsbury • August 16, 2012

Backup and update day – when was the last time you backed up your data?


DK @kingsbury • August 16, 2012

So glad I threw a sweatshirt in my suitcase – it’s pretty cold up here this afternoon


DK @kingsbury • August 17, 2012

Grand Casino Hinckley was crowded, smokey and tight, but Big Buck Hunter looked cool


DK @kingsbury • August 17, 2012

How about a Kickstarter campaign for the first person to add a “hide politics” button to all social media apps

When did the long/slow/distance run become such a mind game? Finally finished 13 miles along Nokomis, Minnehaha and Harriet


DK @kingsbury • August 19, 2012

Not a big crowd at the Tilia Block Party – we even walked in to the restaurant and got a table


DK @kingsbury • August 20, 2012

DK @kingsbury • August 27, 2012

Such a long day – just fell asleep in the car while listening to Anita Baker and waiting for kid one to finish her corn roast shift


DK @kingsbury • August 27, 2012

Second wind

It’s time for an Old Crow Medicine Show and Charlie Parr and the Black Twig Pickers music marathon

Lost out on doing stuff last night, but feeling pretty good after almost 12 hours of sleep


DK @kingsbury • August 28, 2012

What a difference between my last two rounds – shot a 94 (52-42) today from the blues at The Wilderness


DK @kingsbury • August 29, 2012

The only thing surprising about Mystic Lake canceling the Randy Travis show was that it took this long to announce

It’s been a long time since I had to troubleshoot Apache and MySQL issues, but here I am

Sun’s up in Cloquet


DK @kingsbury • September 10, 2012

I was wondering where all the mosquitos went this summer


DK @kingsbury • September 14, 2012

Extra innings: what would *your* walk-out anthem be?

Woke up late and now my whole schedule is shot to hell

Chores, MOA Apple Store with kid one, lunch at Tony Roma’s, first car wash for the Fit and multiple Target visits

Ran 7 much better miles in Eagan and Apple Valley tonight – switched back to the Wave Rider 15s from the Kinvaras


DK @kingsbury • September 16, 2012

The grass was freshly mown – meeting Bob Jr. at SVCC this morning


DK @kingsbury • September 16, 2012

Shot a 91 from the whites at Southview with way too many three-putts


DK @kingsbury • September 16, 2012

Ran ~6.75 trail miles with Megan around Holland, Shulze and Jensen Lakes at Lebanon Hills


DK @kingsbury • September 17, 2012

Ran another 11 late miles in Minneapolis along Nokomis, Minnehaha and Harriet – blister time


DK @kingsbury • September 17, 2012

Nice to see some rain this morning


DK @kingsbury • September 17, 2012

Stopped for gas in Cloquet and it feels like winter


DK @kingsbury • September 17, 2012

Skipping fall in the Northland and heading right to winter – forecasted low of 27F tonight


DK @kingsbury • September 17, 2012

I can’t believe The Wilderness closes in less than a month


DK @kingsbury • September 17, 2012

Some things I haven’t used in ages: racquetball shoes, cassette tapes, Microsoft Word, Pinterest, Google+


DK @kingsbury • September 18, 2012

Practically falling asleep all day and now – wide awake


DK @kingsbury • September 18, 2012

Rested, mentally (somewhat) organized, positive mood – is this really Tuesday?


DK @kingsbury • September 18, 2012

Finally found an OS/browser combination that worked with Minnesota State Lottery subscriptions – legal online gaming for real money


DK @kingsbury • September 18, 2012

Started the process to transfer my last three domains from GoDaddy to Hover


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

Wonderful 4 mile fall run around the resort and Echo Point – a little chilly, but this week I was prepared


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

Mossberg was getting 42 megs on Verizon LTE? Dang


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

CGI-Executables, Lingon, perl, awstats config, shell scripts – shouldn’t I have people for this?


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

I wonder how long it takes to parse a 3.77GB log file (while doing reverse DNS lookups)


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

Road construction starts on 169, they have to re-do 35E and the section north of Hinckley still isn’t done – argh


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

And here comes iOS 6 down the pipe


DK @kingsbury • September 19, 2012

Didn’t know this was going to turn into upgrade everything day


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

Curse you warm and comfortable hotel bed on a cold Northland morning


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

Grey, cold and rainy, but sitting on the balcony anyways while I catch up on email and news


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

Oh Vegas – G2E welcome reception at the Venetian pools features Them & Us and the Guess Who, with emcee David Hasselhoff (!)


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

I think my awstats reporting is back again – that initial update ran for like two days


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

New slot machine I’m most looking forward to at G2E: Family Guy


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

Sounds like my trusty Epson R200 printer has finally bit the big one. Looking at the Artisan 725 as a replacement


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

Hmm, maybe the Artisan 837 instead


DK @kingsbury • September 20, 2012

Last stop at Gordy’s for 2012


DK @kingsbury • September 21, 2012

Looks like I need to get up early the next three days to get caught up on mileage – this could get rough


DK @kingsbury • September 21, 2012

Ran 9 miles in Eagan and Lebanon Hills/Holland Lake and mowed the lawn (hopefully for the last time)


DK @kingsbury • September 21, 2012

I think Snoop should just be the host on Price is Right


DK @kingsbury • September 21, 2012

Lunch with Mr. Skoglund at Carbone’s in Circle Pines, new printer purchased (the 837) and absentee ballot cast at City Hall


DK @kingsbury • September 22, 2012

Class reunions are much more fun after four drinks


DK @kingsbury • September 22, 2012

Ran 10 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – brisk headwind, but no hangover and my legs actually felt decent for a change


DK @kingsbury • September 23, 2012

Very nice day at Southview with a great group of people – shot a messy 93 from the whites


DK @kingsbury • September 23, 2012

Really looking forward to the new Mumford and Sons album


DK @kingsbury • September 23, 2012

Well, so much for getting up early for today’s long run – guess I’ll see how far the Vikings get behind, then go


DK @kingsbury • September 23, 2012

Absolutely stunning afternoon in Minneapolis for a run – 20 miles along Nokomis, Minnehaha, Harriet, Calhoun and Isles


DK @kingsbury • September 24, 2012

Celebrating a relatively pain-free long run with some Punch Pizza and Grand Old Creamery


DK @kingsbury • September 24, 2012

Dang, just looked at the running plan and I have *two* more long runs before the next race – hurry up taper!


DK @kingsbury • September 24, 2012

Upgrading web servers and investigating the latest in wildcard SSL options on Mountain Lion – such a life I live


DK @kingsbury • September 24, 2012

Mountain Lion upgrade has taken the work server offline – is iCloud to blame?


DK @kingsbury • September 24, 2012

Depricated <IfDefine WEBSHARING_ON> tags and the old mysql.sock issue were the culprits, it seems


DK @kingsbury • September 24, 2012

That was way more trouble than I wanted today – off to pick up the wife, then dinner with John and Cathy before ONJ at the Guthrie


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

Ready for some Olivia Newton-John at the “new” Guthrie


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

Old school flashback over – late drive north


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

So the Packers lost, eh?


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

Safely back in the Northland – sign said 37F, it smells like fire and there are a jillion stars in the sky


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

And I guess we have nudists in the house


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

So sad I will be out of town for the @wits season opener: @DaveSFoley and @Mike_Doughty_


DK @kingsbury • September 25, 2012

If you run and this doesn’t get you pumped up, I don’t know what will


DK @kingsbury • September 26, 2012

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons at G2E next week to introduce KISS slot machine


DK @kingsbury • September 26, 2012

Ran 4 miles on the resort treadmill, since it’s like 35F outside and I’ve been told we have coyotes and wolves around


DK @kingsbury • September 26, 2012

I can’t decide if the world’s largest bacon cheeseburger at Black Bear is marketing genius, totally stupid or just gross


DK @kingsbury • September 26, 2012

Work days go by much faster when the entire morning is spent in the same meeting. Now back to web & social media stuff


DK @kingsbury • September 27, 2012

Highlight of tonight’s nine mile run on Gold Mine Trail and Echo Point: the mystery creature that growled at me from the woods


DK @kingsbury • September 27, 2012

Olivia Newton-John on Monday, now Blair on Survivor – expecting Howard Jones to walk down the hallway any minute


DK @kingsbury • September 27, 2012

Has everyone forgotten we hated the real refs too? And what’s up with $173K for a part-time job?


DK @kingsbury • September 27, 2012

Nice color from Vermilion through Virginia and Eveleth, which probably means it will all be gone when I return from Vegas


DK @kingsbury • September 27, 2012

Tried the mozzarella sticks at White Castle for the first time and was mildly surprised – pretty good for $2.50


DK @kingsbury • September 28, 2012

Who would’ve thought Best Buy would be the one to save the day after a Target fail?


DK @kingsbury • September 28, 2012

The Mumford & Sons cover of The Boxer was totally worth the extra cost of getting the deluxe edition


DK @kingsbury • September 28, 2012

Really didn’t want to get out of bed today, but finally woke up and ran 10 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley


DK @kingsbury • September 28, 2012

A little post-run carbonara for lunch with kid one at Andiamo


DK @kingsbury • September 28, 2012

Very informative meeting with Canterbury Park management – could be some fun stuff coming down the stretch, so to speak


DK @kingsbury • September 29, 2012

Coupon for BWW was too good to pass up


DK @kingsbury • September 29, 2012

Ran another Minneapolis 20-miler, this time along Nokomis, Mississippi, Greenway, Calhoun, Harriet and Minnehaha


DK @kingsbury • September 29, 2012

And FYI, eating a hot dog at mile 13 doesn’t really help improve the pace for the last 7 miles


DK @kingsbury • September 29, 2012

Finally get to watch a little Ryder Cup before packing and First Ave tonight


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Waiting for Glen @FirstAvenue


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Fun show tonight (more later), but need to finish packing and get ready for the 4:30 wake-up call


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Catching the early flight to Vegas, with breakfast at the new Shoyu


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Legroom!


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Landed safely in Las Vegas


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Just can’t get away from this place: I think this is my third time


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Love having a MiFi in the bag – beats paying the rip-off Strip resort pricing


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

The 59th floor is really way up there


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

Furyk and Garcia could be the most annoying twosome to watch in history


DK @kingsbury • September 30, 2012

This Packers game is way too close (and there are way too many Packer jerseys in this town)


DK @kingsbury • October 1, 2012

Decent night at the Cosmopolitan and Planet Hollywood, but the real fun starts tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • October 1, 2012

Geez it’s hot in Las Vegas today (but it feels pretty great)


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Time for the long walk from Bellagio to Caesars to Mirage to Venetian to Wynn for the US Bank party


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

$500 minimum blackjack tables (with multiple players) still amaze me


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Mission accomplished at La Cave – on to the Venetian


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Damn, looks like the Hasselhoff/Guess Who thing is already over


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Don’t really know what most of those things were in the Yuzu-Hi, but it tasted good


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Love the “Hello” and “Goodbye” buttons by the door to my room – shuts everything on or off


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Time for some clubbin’ at Marquee in cabana 12


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Wow, Marquee is ridiculous – are those prices in pesos?


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Wow, did I really commit to running at 6:30AM? I’ll just be happy to find my room this morning (plus, wish I had someone to email now)


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Running as a hangover cure – an early 4+ miles on the strip with the Raving group. Ballys to Fashion Show to Mandalay to Cosmo


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Heading to the Sands for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for G2E, with special guests from Kiss and Pawn Stars


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

Oompa Loompas!


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

I’ve got a golden ticket


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

G2E is a little overwhelming so far – will need all 3 days to take it all in


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

The Pawn Star dudes


DK @kingsbury • October 2, 2012

One more booth meeting with WMS at 4:15, then figure out dinner plans before heading to the Hard Rock pool party


DK @kingsbury • October 3, 2012

Decided on steak frites at Comme Ca before the Hard Rock


DK @kingsbury • October 3, 2012

Pretty mellow night overall – the drinks must have been weak or something (had plenty). Dropped a little money on both floors


DK @kingsbury • October 3, 2012

Up early for another Raving group run on the strip – 2 miles with them and 7 more from the Stratosphere to New York, New York


DK @kingsbury • October 3, 2012

Very nice breakfast outside with fast Internet and time to get some work done and phone calls made. Heading to the Sands now


DK @kingsbury • October 3, 2012

Popped across the street for a quick lunch at Canter’s deli in TI


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

101F + lots of walking = some very sore feet


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

I’m pretty sure there were more than two candidates for president on my absentee ballot – where are those people, Jim?


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

While this debate is a part of history (like it or not), there is a steak waiting for me over at Emeril Lagasse’s place


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

This is one of the best salads I’ve ever had


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

Dinner went long, so I missed the Raving party and somehow ended up at Casino Royale


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

I swear it seems like time stands still on the Cosmo casino floor – can’t believe it’s this late already


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

Awake, packed, checked out and ready for brunch


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

Last hour of G2E


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

Shortest security line I’ve ever seen at LAS (probably my least favorite anywhere)


DK @kingsbury • October 4, 2012

Accessible power, free high-speed internet and Auntie Anne’s pretzel with cheese – my airport experience has been upgraded


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

Target acquired


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

Leaving Las Vegas


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

Landed safely back in MSP


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

So wanted to sleep in, but up early for kid shuttle service, laundry, paperwork, web dev and hopefully a run


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

So can you still play the course today or not?


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

Ran 7.5 miles in Eagan and Apple Valley, with the first five at a fair amount faster than my adjusted marathon goal pace


DK @kingsbury • October 5, 2012

Good luck to everyone running this weekend at the various TCM events – really wishing that I was joining in too


DK @kingsbury • October 6, 2012

Very proud of kid one – just dropped her off at school for her first high school debate


DK @kingsbury • October 6, 2012

Ran 8 miles down to the zoo and back, stopping briefly at the Lebanon Hills trailhead grand opening


DK @kingsbury • October 6, 2012

Feels pretty great to introduce my kids to First Ave – show number one for them, 40- or 50-ish for me?


DK @kingsbury • October 7, 2012

Finally get to try a diamond dog at the Depot


DK @kingsbury • October 7, 2012

Not as fun as TCM, but ran 15.6 miles along Wescott, Lexington, Lebanon Hills and Valleywood


DK @kingsbury • October 8, 2012

Finished a ton of laundry, watched a lot of football, got all my miles in, suitcase is packed and I’m ready for the work week


DK @kingsbury • October 8, 2012

Hello again, long drive north


DK @kingsbury • October 8, 2012

Safely back in my warm office, buried in paperwork and junk mail


DK @kingsbury • October 9, 2012

Hmm, what do I hate more: cold, damp headwinds or treadmills? Guess we’ll find out tomorrow


DK @kingsbury • October 9, 2012

RIP Qrank


DK @kingsbury • October 10, 2012

Completely unmotivated to do anything tonight – vending machine junk food, Angry Birds and a bad HBO movie


DK @kingsbury • October 10, 2012

A little Treme and Boardwalk Empire finally snapped me out of the funk and led to a late night 8K on the treadmill


DK @kingsbury • October 10, 2012

Trying out the Priceline name your price thing for the first time – a bit nervous


DK @kingsbury • October 10, 2012

End of season pro shop sale at The Wilderness, plus last round of the year (41F, sun, clouds and ice pellets)


DK @kingsbury • October 10, 2012

Always seem to be behind these trees


DK @kingsbury • October 11, 2012

Shot 86 from the whites at The Wilderness, followed by an 8 mile run on Gold Mine Trail and Echo Point


DK @kingsbury • October 11, 2012

Needed 2 more miles for today, so I hit the resort treadmill, since it’s now snowing outside


DK @kingsbury • October 11, 2012

The Twitter Tools connection between WordPress and Twitter seems to be broken right now, no?


DK @kingsbury • October 11, 2012

The old Twitter Tools (2.4) did break – trying to upgrade to 3.0 now (which requires a new “Social” plugin from the MailChimp people)


DK @kingsbury • October 12, 2012

Good news: construction on I-35 north of Hinckley finished. Bad news: drivers still suck


DK @kingsbury • October 12, 2012

First high school conference session complete – time for yard work, lunch with Pash, a run in Minneapolis and @4otf tonight


DK @kingsbury • October 12, 2012

Looks like I finally figured out all the Twitter Tools 3.0 issues – tweets are now back on 7minutemiles.com


DK @kingsbury • October 12, 2012

Another great Apple support experience in Uptown – guess they just hate Swanson


DK @kingsbury • October 12, 2012

Switched today’s run from Minneapolis to Eagan and Apple Valley – 10 miles of wind and hills


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Back in the mainroom waiting for Gabe and the guys


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

4onthefloor rockin’ the Neil Young cover at First Ave


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Up early yet again to drop off kid one for debate and to get a haircut (hippie)


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Found a couple more Twitter Tools 3/Social plugin issues, but it’s getting closer to right


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Trying out the Rack Shack BBQ in Burnsville with the old lady


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Wait, what happened to 65F and a 10% chance of rain? It’s now drizzle and 45F and I still need 4 miles today


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Put on the winter tights and a rain jacket, then slogged 4 trail miles around Holland and Schultze lakes in Lebanon Hills


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Heading in to St. Paul to pick up my mom and dad for what will probably be my last PHC show with GK


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

Hmm, parents not home, but this guy was on their sidewalk and exposed his fangs at me when I got close


DK @kingsbury • October 13, 2012

How do I keep ending up with these great seats?


DK @kingsbury • October 14, 2012

Nice dinner at Trattoria da Vinci with the family, but depressing to not have Wild hockey tonight


DK @kingsbury • October 14, 2012

Ran 22 miles in Minneapolis (river, greenway, lakes and creek) – last long run before the big race


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

MN football normal has returned – Vikes lose, Gophers lose, Packers winning


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

More issues with Twitter Tools 3 and Social pulling in new tweets automatically, but reading error logs and source code on a Sunday is sad


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

Houston was undefeated going into this game? Damn I miss the NHL


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

Today’s commute will be 40 minutes longer because this idiot forgot something and had to turn around


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

Not feeling so great today, both physically and mentally 🙁


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

So glad to be out of the car – nausea and drowsiness make for an extra long (and scary) drive


DK @kingsbury • October 15, 2012

Surprisingly productive day at work for a Monday – heading to the VC for some pizza to celebrate


DK @kingsbury • October 16, 2012

Just made pre-race pasta dinner reservations somewhere very special, but it’s a secret


DK @kingsbury • October 16, 2012

Thanks to my mom, just got a great email about something happening next month


DK @kingsbury • October 16, 2012

It must be old favorites week – time to hit the Tamarack for some chicken wild rice soup and a club sandwich


DK @kingsbury • October 16, 2012

Thumbs up on the new P.O.S. album


DK @kingsbury • October 16, 2012

Spent all afternoon creating map mockups in Photoshop – now I know why there are so few online in the casino world


DK @kingsbury • October 17, 2012

Very happy to have HBO tonight – The Descendants, Treme, Boardwalk Empire


DK @kingsbury • October 17, 2012

Damn, Chez Jude will be gone by the end of the month


DK @kingsbury • October 17, 2012

Woke up at 6 to run, but felt terrible and went back to sleep. Can’t get sick now – time for food and a shower


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

The return of stupid indoor cold weather workouts – ran 8K on the resort treadmill, biked 3 miles and did a little cable cross


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

Today’s breakfast special of biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs probably could’ve been one or the other


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

I’ve never really been a techno fan, but this deadmau5 dude is interesting


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

Not sure if I like the UI, but Tweetbot for Mac is totally worth the $20 just for the iCloud sync between phone and laptop


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

I will never tire of seeing bald eagles in flight – so cool


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

Gas prices in Cloquet are almost always the lowest anywhere on my drive


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

Oh, that thing I said earlier about bald eagles? Same thing for dogs sticking their heads out of cars on the freeway


DK @kingsbury • October 18, 2012

Serious donut craving, but thankfully I know just the right people for the job


DK @kingsbury • October 19, 2012

Late night at the Walker


DK @kingsbury • October 19, 2012

First oil change and tire rotation for the Fit today in Burnsville


DK @kingsbury • October 19, 2012

Ran 9 rainy miles in Eagan and Apple Valley – completely soaked, but still better than the treadmill


DK @kingsbury • October 19, 2012

Dry cleaners, free Smashburger, TJ Maxx, Mall of America and flu shots – not much of a day off


DK @kingsbury • October 20, 2012

Ran 9 miles (4 at marathon goal pace) around Jensen Lake and another part of Lebanon Hills that I’ve never seen before


DK @kingsbury • October 20, 2012

Driving to the land of cheese for an in-law birthday party


DK @kingsbury • October 21, 2012

Both kids gone for sleepovers, so I’m thinking Frankenweenie at Regal, followed by a late dinner at Anchor Fish in NE


DK @kingsbury • October 21, 2012

The mythical free wi-fi at MSP does exist!


DK @kingsbury • October 21, 2012

Just did a speed test on LTE at the airport: 39.1 mbps down and 4.85 up


DK @kingsbury • October 21, 2012

Maintenance delay on an Airbus they actually towed to the gate


DK @kingsbury • October 21, 2012

Landed safely in Baltimore – headed to the Hyatt Regency for the Micros Users Conference


DK @kingsbury • October 22, 2012

Ran 16+ miles around the Baltimore harbor and through Camden Yard – didn’t look like The Wire at all (except for Domino Sugars)


DK @kingsbury • October 22, 2012

Free food and drinks at the welcome reception tonight, but geez is the schedule packed tomorrow (and it all starts at 7)


DK @kingsbury • October 22, 2012

I always find it interesting to hear CEOs of billion-dollar companies talk to customers, then get feedback they really didn’t want


DK @kingsbury • October 22, 2012

Lenny makes a pretty good pastrami and Swiss


DK @kingsbury • October 22, 2012

Blast from the past – the guy in my current session used to ski with me when I was 9 years old


DK @kingsbury • October 22, 2012

Ran 4 easy miles around the inner harbor from the USS Constellation to the Domino Sugars plant


DK @kingsbury • October 23, 2012

Great dinner at the conference with Mr. Barbieri and the Red Lion team, followed by comedian Jeff Caldwell


DK @kingsbury • October 23, 2012

Favorite session so far: MICROS powering the Casino of the Future, with speakers from Wynn and Atlantis


DK @kingsbury • October 23, 2012

Totally need to take a break from running and work tonight – wonder what else there is to do in this town


DK @kingsbury • October 24, 2012

Thank you HBO for more Treme and Boardwalk Empire – truly great entertainment


DK @kingsbury • October 24, 2012

Last day in Baltimore – just about hospitalitied out


DK @kingsbury • October 24, 2012

This may sound like heresy, but I have zero desire to own an iPad of any size, let alone a Surface or Android


DK @kingsbury • October 24, 2012

Looks like the iOS WordPress app now supports post formats *and* featured images, so I can finally use it for my site


DK @kingsbury • October 24, 2012

Spending 3 hours at BWI while I wait for a ride back to Minnesota (free wi-fi, though)


DK @kingsbury • October 25, 2012

Very bizarre approach, but safely on the ground at MSP


DK @kingsbury • October 25, 2012

Looks like a rainy run for tomorrow and a freakin’ cold concert in the tent on Saturday night


DK @kingsbury • October 25, 2012

Grabbing some BWW before the library (and the snowstorm)


DK @kingsbury • October 26, 2012

Canker sore *and* a headache, but at least the Vikings game is on a free OTA HD channel


DK @kingsbury • October 26, 2012

New Social and Twitter Tool updates – will this be the answer to my issues?


DK @kingsbury • October 26, 2012

Ran 6 surprisingly decent miles on the basement treadmill before dinner at The Bachelor Farmer


DK @kingsbury • October 27, 2012

Another great dinner at TBF, with a quick visit to Marvel Bar beforehand – booked reservations for December before we left


DK @kingsbury • October 27, 2012

Safely back in the windy and cold Northland (some snow too) – working the Hairball Halloween event in the big tent tonight


DK @kingsbury • October 27, 2012

Good luck to kid two tonight, as she hosts her now annual Halloween party


DK @kingsbury • October 27, 2012

Holy crap – was just informed we could have up to 800 people in our costume contest tonight. Need more batteries for camera


DK @kingsbury • October 28, 2012

After taking 400+ photos of Halloween costumes tonight, I can safely say this holiday is now dead to me


DK @kingsbury • October 28, 2012

Still haven’t seen Hairball – no desire to go out to the tent right now, even for free


DK @kingsbury • October 28, 2012

Slept on the couch at the Hideaway (thanks DF), but can’t wait for my room to be ready (and a hot shower)


DK @kingsbury • October 28, 2012

Honestly, there aren’t many things I enjoy more than a hot shower – and now, football!


DK @kingsbury • October 29, 2012

Snuck in a late 4 miler on the resort treadmill – welcome to taper week


DK @kingsbury • October 29, 2012

Such a weird vibe today – need to hold it together


DK @kingsbury • October 30, 2012

Turning up the room temp to 74F last night wasn’t a great idea, but I did get 11 hours of unexpected sleep


DK @kingsbury • October 30, 2012

Original flight cancelled 🙁


DK @kingsbury • October 30, 2012

Rebooked to Thursday morning, but I’m guessing that flight will be cancelled too. At least tonight there’s Flea


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

Flea is my hero


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

Bucket list item #43 complete: Sit in great seats at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

A little bit of Minnesota history is gone


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

Almost ashamed to admit I prefer the Swedish meatballs at IKEA to Fika


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

Ran 4 casual miles in Eagan, but anxiety and uncertainty about this weekend are sky-high


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

My weekend is in the hands of the Mayor, Mary (NYRR) and Richard (Delta)


DK @kingsbury • October 31, 2012

Kid two and I weren’t planning to be here tonight, so it’s Pizza Ranch, Frankenweenie and Menchie’s


DK @kingsbury • November 1, 2012

Not sure if this is a good idea or not, but kid two and I are about to get on a plane to LGA


DK @kingsbury • November 1, 2012

Landed safely at LGA – thank you Delta!


DK @kingsbury • November 1, 2012

The cab driver was flying, then we hit traffic halfway down the FDR


DK @kingsbury • November 1, 2012

Made it to our hotel in midtown Manhattan with no problem – now to find some lunch and head to the expo


DK @kingsbury • November 1, 2012

Lunch with the kid at Carmine’s


DK @kingsbury • November 1, 2012

Nice expo – picked up my number and a few other things, plus found out all ferry transportation is cancelled (bus instead at 5:15am)


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

Peter and the Starchaser was funny and very entertaining. The Shake Shack chaser was a good choice too


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

The power bed-to-couch thing at Yotel is awesome for waking up sleepy kids


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

B&H is my favorite store in the world


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

Rupert Jee just sold us some Mountain Dew


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

The dangling crane


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

No one in Central Park except pigeons and giant rats (seriously)


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

Block-long line for Target Free Friday Nights at MoMA


DK @kingsbury • November 2, 2012

Sweet, MoMA has Conky and Clocky from Pee-Wee’s Playhouse


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

So it turns out this is our last night in New York – dinner and a movie with the kid in midtown


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

Skipping the movie and just chilling out at the Yotel


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

Riding to LaGuardia with kid two in a hotel car on a bright and sunny morning


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

Our plane is here and we should be back home right on time – Delta has really shined my last few trips


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

First time in a long time I’ve ordered in-flight Internet access – needed a fix


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

Landed safely back at MSP


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

Kid one is sooooo thrilled that I’m home early and can chaperone her Grieves concert at First Ave


DK @kingsbury • November 3, 2012

Sweatshop Union is opening for Grieves – representing the Pacific NW (have done promos for Schweitzer)


DK @kingsbury • November 4, 2012

No offense to Big Cats, but Sweatshop Union should’ve played second


DK @kingsbury • November 4, 2012

Almost made it home for the start of SNL – if Louis can’t make it good, there’s not much hope for the rest of the season, is there?


DK @kingsbury • November 4, 2012

Toyed with the idea of running Rails to Trails today, but decided to save the money and run around the lakes this afternoon


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Broke in the new shoes with a 24 mile run in Minneapolis (Nokomis, Harriet, Calhoun, Isles and Cedar lakes)


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Glad to see New York had enough resources for the Nets, Knicks and Giants to all play home games this weekend


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Lots to do with the house, but decided to save my vacation hours – back to work I go


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Safely back in the Northland and yes, there is still a little snow around


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Working at a standing desk the day after a 24 mile run is just stupid (although I’m sure many would probably question the run part too)


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Time for another Social/Twitter Tools test tweet


DK @kingsbury • November 5, 2012

Seems like the update to the iOS Facebook app messed up my newsfeed – everything is gone, but I kinda like it better that way


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

Forgot MNF was on – plus it feels like midnight already


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

This is a pretty nice free tool if you manage social media for a business


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

Pretty excited to see Wreck-It Ralph and Skyfall, but when and where?


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

Peanut butter M&Ms make everything better


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

Reading @nathaneide’s amusement park tweets today has been much more fun than political tweets


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

Sad to see domain speculation and squatting is still alive and well


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

About to have a total nervous breakdown (and it has nothing to do with the election)


DK @kingsbury • November 6, 2012

Nearest Chinese restaurant to me right now? 27.3 miles away


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

The Google Voice woman kicks Siri’s ass


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

Nice surprise phone call from my uncle in Spokane who I haven’t talked to in a long time


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

Thanks to HBO, I get Treme and Boardwalk Empire before turning to election results


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

So did I miss anything the past two hours?


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

Nice job on the new web site, @Arapahoe_Basin – looks great!


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

Cleaning up my Twitter window primarily by removing brands from the feed and moving those to Facebook


DK @kingsbury • November 7, 2012

Mystic starts serving alcohol today in the Steakhouse, Meadows Grille and the meeting areas


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

Mindless TV night, but I think I’ll watch the middle part from the exercise bike


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

Wow, did that feel great – one hour on the bike reminded me how I really need to cross-train more


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

That was a pretty good CSI episode tonight


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

Time to blow this popsicle stand


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

Seasoned curly fries weren’t nearly as good as I remembered them


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

Three hour car rides with sun and good music can do wonders to clear your mind


DK @kingsbury • November 8, 2012

Beautiful twilight loop around the Lebanon Hills mountain bike trail – definitely haven’t done that enough this year


DK @kingsbury • November 9, 2012

Up way too early on a Friday for kid two’s rescheduled school conference


DK @kingsbury • November 9, 2012

Conference (school), conference (call), Dan Wilson tix, lunch at BWW with Brad, electronics recycling and library so far today


DK @kingsbury • November 10, 2012

Just tried to take kid two to Wreck-It Ralph, but the movie theater parking lot was full – every single spot


DK @kingsbury • November 10, 2012

Wasn’t really a fan of Angry Birds Space, but the Star Wars version is pretty flippin’ awesome


DK @kingsbury • November 10, 2012

Kid one to debate, kid two to tech crew, then probably the last round of Minnesota golf this year


DK @kingsbury • November 10, 2012

Short-sleeve November golf in Minnesota – shot 85 from the whites at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan


DK @kingsbury • November 11, 2012

Celebrating kid one’s big debate performance at Punch on Grand – eating outside even!


DK @kingsbury • November 11, 2012

Introduced kid one to National Lampoon’s Vacation tonight – just enough Chevy Chase swearing to keep her interested


DK @kingsbury • November 11, 2012

Sunday road trip: St. Paul, Bemidji, Seven Clans Red Lake


DK @kingsbury • November 11, 2012

Highway 10 in central Minnesota just seems so odd to me – starting to snow now too


DK @kingsbury • November 12, 2012

Nimrod, Minnesota


DK @kingsbury • November 12, 2012

Despite the determined effort of a giant buck (and many snowflakes), made it safely to Red Lake


DK @kingsbury • November 12, 2012

Lions and tigers and mission statements, oh my


DK @kingsbury • November 13, 2012

Amazing how fast a day can go by when you have limited access to the Internet, no cell service and a casino to play in


DK @kingsbury • November 13, 2012

Straight shot on MN 1 from Red Lake to Fortune Bay, but with a killer headache and nausea – can’t wait to lie down


DK @kingsbury • November 14, 2012

Headache and nausea mostly gone this morning, but now my back hurts. Come on body, work with me here


DK @kingsbury • November 14, 2012

Transferring my last domain away from GoDaddy today – thanks Hover!


DK @kingsbury • November 14, 2012

Wow, there are no more living World War I veterans


DK @kingsbury • November 14, 2012

Inbox 47 will have to do for today


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

1&1 is now battling GoDaddy for registrar I hate most – just let my domains go free, dammit


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

Enough digging out from the work backlog – time for some Survivor, Modern Family and CSI


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

Exercise room is closed during the pool maintenance, so I guess it’s just stretching and sit-ups in the room tonight


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

Glad I had the dumbbells in my office – saved the day


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

I didn’t think Target’s TV ads could get any worse, but I was wrong


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

Solid CSI episodes in back-to-back weeks, plus next week looks good too (Elisabeth Shue is 49?!?)


DK @kingsbury • November 15, 2012

I think it’s about time to start heading towards First Avenue again (RNDM with Jeff Ament, Joe Arthur and Richard Stuverud)


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

I guess “slower traffic keep right” doesn’t apply to state troopers


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

I know they made a decision by moving there, but I feel bad for the people who live directly across from the high school entrance


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

I have never seen so few people at First Avenue


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

“Oh are you happy now Clark? She’s deaf.”


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

Looks like the jig is up for kid two at the orthodontist today


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

Just wasted two hours watching Doctor Detroit while eating chips and buffalo chicken dip – Price is Right up next


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

Enough slacking – trying to fix the nav links on my web site, then finish the fall yard work


DK @kingsbury • November 16, 2012

I guess we have an open house tomorrow from 1-3, but it doesn’t look like our house is listed right now


DK @kingsbury • November 17, 2012

Want to go see Wreck-It Ralph and Skyfall, but trying to stay focused on house prep


DK @kingsbury • November 17, 2012

The listing is back: open house tomorrow from 1-3 in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • November 17, 2012

Stupid WordPress/Apache redirect issue – why does /page/2 now 301 back to the home page? Yeah, that’s my Friday night


DK @kingsbury • November 17, 2012

Kid one to debate, kid two to mock swim meet and a surprise run with Megan up next


DK @kingsbury • November 17, 2012

Nice 6 mile run with Megan in Apple Valley, followed by Jimmy John’s for lunch


DK @kingsbury • November 17, 2012

Open house exile = finally get to see a movie


DK @kingsbury • November 18, 2012

Moved the dining room table and chairs back to my grandfather’s house and hung out at Starbucks during another showing


DK @kingsbury • November 18, 2012

I’m doing OK at Letterpress so far, but I don’t really have a grasp on optimal strategy yet


DK @kingsbury • November 19, 2012

Watched way too much football today, especially since the Vikings had a bye


DK @kingsbury • November 19, 2012

Hello again 4AM – it’s been a while. Heading north for a short week


DK @kingsbury • November 19, 2012

Safely back at work


DK @kingsbury • November 19, 2012

Registered for the 2013 Get in Gear 10K (12th year in a row)


DK @kingsbury • November 19, 2012

Getting seriously lost in WordPress troubleshooting this afternoon. Any progress would be nice at this point


DK @kingsbury • November 19, 2012

At least I’m getting rid of some old plugins that I don’t use


DK @kingsbury • November 20, 2012

Finding a few new leads on the plugin issues, but mainly just happy to crank up Empire Ants by Gorillaz


DK @kingsbury • November 20, 2012

Watched the 5-0 during biking, running (5 miles) and cable cross in the reopened exercise room


DK @kingsbury • November 20, 2012

And just like that, pagination is working again – wonder which of my changes actually fixed it


DK @kingsbury • November 20, 2012

Don’t think I’ve ever seen “freezing fog” on the national weather service forecast before


DK @kingsbury • November 21, 2012

Long, long day at work, but still managed to squeeze in run/bike/weights and a little HBO


DK @kingsbury • November 21, 2012

Seem to be in the right frame of mind for code debugging, so it’s back to WordPress plugin review


DK @kingsbury • November 21, 2012

Also seems to be a lot of Flash issues within Google Chrome lately, no?


DK @kingsbury • November 21, 2012

Enough code for now – found a URL I can bookmark to manually call the broken cron job. Now to find some food for lunch…


DK @kingsbury • November 22, 2012

A normal flush after being dealt four to the royal is a major letdown (47-1 for a grand)


DK @kingsbury • November 22, 2012

Hmm, got home before 10:30PM and everyone in the house was already sound asleep


DK @kingsbury • November 22, 2012

Ah, Scarlett Johansson


DK @kingsbury • November 22, 2012

Hey look – no Powerball winner


DK @kingsbury • November 22, 2012

Ran 13.5 miles in and around Lebanon Hills – today’s dinner will be (semi) guilt free


DK @kingsbury • November 23, 2012

Snuck out early from family thanksgiving to catch Ponyo at the Lagoon


DK @kingsbury • November 23, 2012

Kid two Black Friday swim practice, where it’s nice and tropical inside


DK @kingsbury • November 23, 2012

Wasn’t planning to go out today, but looks like Holiday, Best Buy, Culver’s, Target and Plato’s Closet will all be visited


DK @kingsbury • November 24, 2012

Netflix movie night: Bernie and The Artist


DK @kingsbury • November 24, 2012

Early morning haircut, Christmas CD preview, more Studio Ghibli at Lagoon and ?


DK @kingsbury • November 24, 2012

Spontaneous 4 mile run with Megan and Chili in Eagan – brr!


DK @kingsbury • November 25, 2012

Skyfall was much more entertaining than I expected, but I have trouble with an aging, imperfect Bond


DK @kingsbury • November 25, 2012

Looks like I didn’t overcome the 175,223,510 to 1 odds tonight


DK @kingsbury • November 25, 2012

A little late night Murray and Jarmusch via Netflix


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

Almost made it an entire day without tweeting – just not that motivated by anything this weekend


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

At least the Giants picked up my spirits a little


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

Damn it’s cold in Hinckley this morning – stopped for gas and breakfast


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

Even colder at Fortune Bay – the sign by the Y Store said 2F


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

Oh, and not the greatest plowing job guys


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

Fully engaged in work today and the headache is receding – hoping for 5 indoor miles tonight


DK @kingsbury • November 26, 2012

Not really an old school R&B guy, but some of these old Spinners songs are pretty awesome


DK @kingsbury • November 27, 2012

I just won $234,999 less than I was hoping for on my Northstar Cash ticket


DK @kingsbury • November 27, 2012

Inspired by my little fish, went and ran 5 treadmill miles (plus a little bike and cable cross)


DK @kingsbury • November 27, 2012

Two down, one to go (and that one isn’t due until Friday)


DK @kingsbury • November 27, 2012

Warm(ish) morning here with some light snow falling – driving over to Hibbing soon for a board meeting at the college


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

Never knew they made banana Tootsie Roll Pops – tastes surprisingly good


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

Planned on running before HBO, but here I am in bed with a Mt. Dew and a bag of Fritos waiting for Treme


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

Time to run a backup on my laptop. Also surprised at how infrequent software updates have become on 10.8.x


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

2013 rates at The Wilderness have been posted


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

Software updates on my Win7 machine are flying left and right, but that’s the only thing that flies


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

Today’s big meeting was cancelled and I’m actually a little bit sad – was ready and wanted to check it off the list


DK @kingsbury • November 28, 2012

Could it be? Looks like there might be some progress on the home front


DK @kingsbury • November 29, 2012

Google play is now crashing multiple times a time, or should I say Flash crashes in Chrome multiple times per day


DK @kingsbury • November 29, 2012

Slow 10K run on the treadmill while watching Survivor and Modern Family (along with a little 40# cable cross and biking)


DK @kingsbury • November 29, 2012

Finally finished number three for the week, so I guess I better start looking for more


DK @kingsbury • November 29, 2012

One more afternoon meeting, then heading south for the weekend


DK @kingsbury • November 29, 2012

And here comes iTunes 11 – fingers crossed for (any) improvements


DK @kingsbury • November 29, 2012

Are you kidding me? Another cracked windshield on the Honda Fit


DK @kingsbury • November 30, 2012

Safely back to an empty house – time for some lapzilla system updates (and backups)


DK @kingsbury • November 30, 2012

That was more teen drama in 60 minutes than I needed all weekend


DK @kingsbury • November 30, 2012

The Hoth levels of Angry Birds Star Wars came out, so yes, I’m still awake


DK @kingsbury • November 30, 2012

Not really warm here yet – rather brisk loop around the Lebanon Hills single track with frozen fingers and toes


DK @kingsbury • December 1, 2012

Sort of a weird day – lots of laundry and watched kid one at the state debate tournament before watching the end of Entourage again


DK @kingsbury • December 1, 2012

Kid one dropped off for day two of state, car washed, more laundry and cleaning, kid two swim meet and first Christmas party tonight


DK @kingsbury • December 1, 2012

The print CD functionality on the new Epson printer is ten times better than the old one – so fast and easy


DK @kingsbury • December 2, 2012

Dropped off kid two at the swim meet and I think I’ve seen enough Vikings game already, so off to run soon


DK @kingsbury • December 2, 2012

The best discovery yet at the new aquatic center


DK @kingsbury • December 2, 2012

Better late than never – very pleasant 10 mile run around Harriet, Calhoun and Isles in the dark


DK @kingsbury • December 3, 2012

Safely back on Vermilion, where the snow is melting, rain is in the forecast and temps will be in the mid-40s


DK @kingsbury • December 3, 2012

Quick post office trip – if this rain were snow, we’d be buried


DK @kingsbury • December 4, 2012

Ate so poorly tonight and Angry Birds Seasons and MNF tried their best to keep me from the exercise room, but it’s time


DK @kingsbury • December 4, 2012

5K bike, 5K treadmill and 40# cable cross – take that, junk food


DK @kingsbury • December 4, 2012

Hit snooze like 15 times, but had to eventually get up for two morning meetings


DK @kingsbury • December 4, 2012

Is it really only Tuesday? Seems like I’ve been working forever already this week


DK @kingsbury • December 5, 2012

Guess I shouldn’t be surprised with how many dead bodies there were in the Boardwalk Empire finale, but damn


DK @kingsbury • December 5, 2012

Totally had the blahs this morning, but finding interesting projects to keep me distracted this afternoon


DK @kingsbury • December 5, 2012

Well that was a total nightmare – service failure on our new web site that took several months to discover


DK @kingsbury • December 5, 2012

And in case anyone was wondering, an OS update killed the email service on the web server, breaking the contact us form


DK @kingsbury • December 5, 2012

Seems a little ironic that I’m drinking more water now because it’s closer than the soda fountain and I’m lazy


DK @kingsbury • December 6, 2012

Same as Monday: 5K bike and treadmill, upped cable cross to 50#


DK @kingsbury • December 6, 2012

Hmm, Babel or Blunderbuss?


DK @kingsbury • December 6, 2012

The Minnesota Beatle Project is pretty great


DK @kingsbury • December 6, 2012

On my way from Vermilion to Eat Street Social


DK @kingsbury • December 7, 2012

Still like Marvel and Prohibition best, but Nick Kosevich’s fall cocktail list was good too – tried the Cobblestone Court & Fall Sangria


DK @kingsbury • December 7, 2012

I hope to someday visit the hill the NHL died on and pay my respects


DK @kingsbury • December 7, 2012

Kid one to early appointment, credit union, Cheapos, Keys on Raymond and a few other errands before cleaning the basement


DK @kingsbury • December 7, 2012

Headache (hangover?) diverted me from cleaning the basement, but still working on a Christmas project this afternoon


DK @kingsbury • December 7, 2012

Funny how calming snow falling can be when you’re under a blanket at home vs. driving through it at rush hour


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

It makes me happy that both my kids like Trampled By Turtles


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

Hello from Google – starting today, no more sign-ups for the free version of Google Apps


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

I need a big Christmas bonus: Dessa live at Papa Charlie’s on my birthday


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

Roads were slippery, but picked up everyone and watched the BAAs at the Walker tonight. Christmas lights in Uptown were very festive


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

Watching the fish swim in Apple Valley, but thinking I should run outside this afternoon before the next snow hits


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

Despite the sun, just can’t bring myself to run outside today – looks like another winter treadmill day


DK @kingsbury • December 8, 2012

Still no closer to the treadmill, but I am almost caught up on the current season of The Office


DK @kingsbury • December 9, 2012

Thought shoveling would be my exercise for the weekend, but the snowblower finally started


DK @kingsbury • December 9, 2012

My new favorite registrar is helping support the Tapemark


DK @kingsbury • December 9, 2012

Well done, Vikings – didn’t think you had it in you


DK @kingsbury • December 10, 2012

So no running this weekend, but lots of basement cleaning and snow removal. Packers-Lions up next


DK @kingsbury • December 10, 2012

How come a “championship belt” and Lambeau Leap isn’t a 15-yard excessive celebration penalty?


DK @kingsbury • December 10, 2012

I-35 from St. Paul to Hinckley was terrible – stopped at Tobies to let my knuckles rest


DK @kingsbury • December 10, 2012

Not as much snow on the Iron Range, but still slippery and very cold (phone said -8F in Tower)


DK @kingsbury • December 10, 2012

My experiment with the standing desk setup has come to an end (for now) – want to see if it’s causing the heel pain


DK @kingsbury • December 11, 2012

Another night surrendered to headaches


DK @kingsbury • December 11, 2012

Looks like this will be my afternoon


DK @kingsbury • December 11, 2012

WordPress 3.5 testing, backup, upgrading and re-testing complete on all sites with no issues


DK @kingsbury • December 11, 2012

As far as birthdays go, this would be even better than Dessa at Papa Charlie’s


DK @kingsbury • December 12, 2012

Wow, almost 9pm already? Better quit working and get down to the long-forgotten treadmill


DK @kingsbury • December 12, 2012

Actually managed to stay on the treadmill for a 10K – watching Vegas for the first time helped


DK @kingsbury • December 12, 2012

French Meadow to open near my old junior high on Grand in St. Paul


DK @kingsbury • December 12, 2012

Trying to bring the Fortune Bay YouTube channel back from the dead


DK @kingsbury • December 12, 2012

Another quick lunch trip to Tower: post office, Tower Cafe and the Thrift Store


DK @kingsbury • December 13, 2012

Survivor, 5K bike and treadmill during Modern Family and now a little CSI


DK @kingsbury • December 13, 2012

Uh-oh: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is not the worst film of the year, but…”


DK @kingsbury • December 13, 2012

Heading to two shows tonight: kid two band concert, followed by Freedy Johnston at the Aster Cafe


DK @kingsbury • December 13, 2012

Proudest achievement of the day: playing “whisky” in Letterpress against @doubleasterisk


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

Spiced cider at the Aster


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

Freedy is doing Cruel to be Kind on the ukulele – awesome


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

Windshield replacement bright and early in Bloomington


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

21 years ago today in downtown Saint Paul


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

Sub-$3 gas is back in Eagan


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

Nice lunch and visit at the Eagan Smashburger with Mr. Miller, co-star of the best Christmas photo ever


DK @kingsbury • December 14, 2012

A little tropical swim time for the fish before anniversary dinner at TBF


DK @kingsbury • December 15, 2012

Totally digging the Glogg


DK @kingsbury • December 15, 2012

Another great dinner at The Bachelor Farmer, but a liiittle too much to drink (not driving home)


DK @kingsbury • December 15, 2012

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia marathon and laundry while it continues to rain outside


DK @kingsbury • December 16, 2012

Sweet – the Nirvana reunion tour continues


DK @kingsbury • December 16, 2012

Wish I was there RT @SchweitzerID: 100″ of snow & 100% open – another amazing winter so far in North Idaho!


DK @kingsbury • December 16, 2012

Nice job, Vikes – you’ve already far exceeded my expectations for this season


DK @kingsbury • December 16, 2012

Parents who let their under-13 kids open Facebook accounts aren’t really helping the cause


DK @kingsbury • December 16, 2012

Almost time to take three girls to @FirstAvenue for @DOOMTREE Blowout 8 (all ages)


DK @kingsbury • December 17, 2012

Fun music night, followed by a quick visit to the Depot (and a stomachache from the tots). Commute in T-minus 4 hours


DK @kingsbury • December 17, 2012

Can’t believe how dark it was at 7AM this morning – maybe it really is the end of the world


DK @kingsbury • December 17, 2012

Safely back in the Northland, where it is dark, cold and snowy


DK @kingsbury • December 18, 2012

Checked out the competition at Black Bear and walked out with free dinner and all my cash


DK @kingsbury • December 18, 2012

Treadmill 5K before work – pretty sure that’s a first


DK @kingsbury • December 18, 2012

I wish one of the newspapers would do some actual investigative reporting on electronic pull tab companies in Minnesota


DK @kingsbury • December 18, 2012

Lots of meetings today, but they were all pretty fun, so I’ll let the “meetings suck” rule slide for now


DK @kingsbury • December 18, 2012

Laptop SSD not big enough – had to pull out OmniDiskSweeper for some pruning today


DK @kingsbury • December 19, 2012

Time to head back to the resort exercise room for part two


DK @kingsbury • December 19, 2012

Somehow managed another treadmill 5K, along with an hour on the bike and a few 50# cable cross reps


DK @kingsbury • December 19, 2012

I think today feels like a video poker day – off to take notes


DK @kingsbury • December 19, 2012

1and1 Internet is one of the most frustrating vendors I have ever worked with – thank goodness for Hover


DK @kingsbury • December 19, 2012

Two and a half hours until pizza at the VC, but I’m ready to leave right now


DK @kingsbury • December 20, 2012

Almost ate an entire VC pizza by myself and just want to sleep, but I’m trying to talk myself into a late run


DK @kingsbury • December 20, 2012

No run last night or this morning – basically passed out from 9pm to 10am (and I wasn’t even drinking)


DK @kingsbury • December 20, 2012

So the Suzy Favor Hamilton Twitter account wasn’t hacked? I am completely speechless


DK @kingsbury • December 21, 2012

All done helping Jason get the heavy stuff in the UHaul – looks like a slow, snowy drive south tonight


DK @kingsbury • December 21, 2012

It’s not showing up on radar much, but it snowed all the way from Tower to Cloquet


DK @kingsbury • December 21, 2012

What’s with all the software offices in the north metro now? Adobe, Symantec, VMware


DK @kingsbury • December 21, 2012

Nice to see Mr. Skoglund at Carbone’s (as always)


DK @kingsbury • December 21, 2012

First visit to Fifth Element in Uptown


DK @kingsbury • December 22, 2012

Not sure if I should feel happy or sad that Purple Rain is $4.99 at Electric Fetus


DK @kingsbury • December 22, 2012

Starting to feel that iTunes 11 might be the worst one yet – wonder what else I can use


DK @kingsbury • December 22, 2012

Yes! Social 2.7 seems to have fixed the WP-Cron issue with Twitter Tools


DK @kingsbury • December 22, 2012

A few Christmas errands in Saint Paul, then a long(er) lakes run in Minneapolis


DK @kingsbury • December 22, 2012

Just like riding a bike – ran 17 LSD miles along Nokomis, Minnehaha, Harriet and Calhoun (sunny and 28F)


DK @kingsbury • December 23, 2012

Loads of last minutes errands – Woodbury, St. Paul and Minneapolis


DK @kingsbury • December 24, 2012

Broke down and bought the latest season of SoA on AppleTV


DK @kingsbury • December 24, 2012

Must be time to take a shower and get dressed


DK @kingsbury • December 25, 2012

Mother-in-law birthday/Christmas eve dinner


DK @kingsbury • December 25, 2012

Mini Christmas turned out just fine


DK @kingsbury • December 26, 2012

And Christmas 2012 ends with my twelfth hour of Sons of Anarchy


DK @kingsbury • December 26, 2012

Two extra passengers on the drive north today


DK @kingsbury • December 26, 2012

Safely back at the resort, just in time for lunch with the girls at the Tamarack


DK @kingsbury • December 26, 2012

Never knew the road from the Y Store to the resort is also known as Angus Road


DK @kingsbury • December 26, 2012

I’m not a trained designer or Photoshop expert, but the graphics I get from casino companies are often barely usable


DK @kingsbury • December 27, 2012

The fish waited 60 minutes after pizza, so it’s off to the pool


DK @kingsbury • December 27, 2012

While the swimmers swam, I did 5K treadmill, 5K bike and 50# cable cross


DK @kingsbury • December 27, 2012

So close and yet so far…


DK @kingsbury • December 27, 2012

Heading to Tower with the girls to pop some tags and have lunch at the Tower Cafe


DK @kingsbury • December 27, 2012

That’s what she said


DK @kingsbury • December 27, 2012

A place called “Windy Corner” is not my idea of a January vacation


DK @kingsbury • December 28, 2012

Oh Current, why do you even bother playing an edited version of Thrift Shop? That’s sort of like watching the Sopranos on network TV


DK @kingsbury • December 28, 2012

Same workout as last night while the girls sat in the whirlpool


DK @kingsbury • December 28, 2012

Payroll printed, invoices submitted, emails sent, kids sleeping in until checkout, then hitting the road


DK @kingsbury • December 28, 2012

Lunch with the girls at Grandma’s in Virginia


DK @kingsbury • December 28, 2012

Decent (but not totally clear) drive down I-35 and a couple of inches to shovel in the driveway


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

All of those new Christmas smartphones must be overloading the WwF servers


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

I’m going to try real hard to make it to the end of all three sets at First Ave tonight, but this will be a late one


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

Great opening set by @deadmanwinter at First Ave, but wish they played longer


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

And now the Honeydogs


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

Hello, Dave


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

After a short break, Soul Asylum *just* started Grave Dancer’s Union now – can probably only do the first three songs and that’s it


DK @kingsbury • December 29, 2012

Kid two tried the sore throat excuse to get out of swim practice, but we’re here to give it a go anyway


DK @kingsbury • December 30, 2012

Totally intended to run outside today (even had the winter clothes on), but felt weird, laid down and woke up 5 hours later


DK @kingsbury • December 30, 2012

Christmas iTunes gift card -> Dexter season six


DK @kingsbury • December 30, 2012

Well, have the winter running gear on again to start the day – hopefully I’ll get something in this time


DK @kingsbury • December 30, 2012

Worst. Winter. Runner. Ever. Megan and Chili canceled, while cold weather, football and Angry Birds kept me on the couch


DK @kingsbury • December 30, 2012

Minor redemption – ran a quick 5K on the basement treadmill before the Vikings game (maybe more tonight)


DK @kingsbury • December 30, 2012

Can’t watch this any more – good thing I have 6 o’clock dinner reservations in Saint Paul


DK @kingsbury • December 31, 2012

Kid one doctor appointment, then packing and heading to work for NYE


DK @kingsbury • December 31, 2012

Change of plans: house full of sick people and a massive headache = no work tonight


DK @kingsbury • December 31, 2012

Since I’m home sick, that means no more runs for 2012, making the final tally 1133.4 miles (new PR)
