brrrrrrr...

picture this...
we have had such a lovely fall and winter
thus far, it's actually crazy that it's nearly
the middle of january and i'm just beginning
to mention cold weather...single digits for
lows this weekend! yikes!

really not much to report here today other
than the wine and cheese at ron & diane's
tonight for all the volunteers of the "Minnesota
Miracle" event this past new years eve.
we're all getting together tonight to discuss
how it all went this year and what we should
change and what went well...that sort of stuff.

oh, that reminds me, i have a client (friend) that
is hosting a foreign exchange student from
germany and his favorite english word is "stuff"!
see how many time YOU use that word today
and how many different meanings it has....
it's pretty funny really! thanks carston for the
eye opening observation!

tomorrow is the big boxing rematch against
tony bonsante and matt vanda at the target
center! anne, pete, gary and i are going!
tony is the guy from shakopee that was on the
reality show "the contender" with sylvester stalone....
hey, does anyone ever name their kids sylvester
anymore???? a rather odd name, don't you think?
say it like 20 times....it's really weird then. :)

i'm hooking up a thing called "skype" on my laptop
so that i can make calls from anywhere in the world
for next to nothing. anne & pete used it when they
were in australia and figi this past summer.
they'd just use this voice over internet thing and it
was like they were in the next room..no delays
at all, it was really great so i thought i'd get it
ready for mexico.

i'm trying to hook up a couple of weddings while
i'm there...i just love that! working vacations!
nice way to pay for all the don julio! (kidding!)

anne, this is for you......hope it gets you through
the cold weekend! 3 & 1/2 months or so and you'll
be opening your "ool"
