Gotta love USPS these days...
Imagine you’re taking a trip. Somewhere nice, somewhere warm, somewhere you can sit on a beach and drink out of a coconut with a big frilly straw and a plastic monkey hanging off the side that stares back at you with every sip. Now imagine that when you land in said destination, the airplane refuels and heads right back to Minneapolis, only to land at MSP refuel, head back to your beach...

It’s been a busy, busy couple months and it’s all coming to a head when Erin & I hop on a plane and head to New Zealand in just over 2 weeks. We’ve got a one way ticket and are likely going to be there until May.

So, I had all four wisdom teeth out on Monday, and while I’ve avoided the Vidocin after the fact, there were a few fun moments while the anesthesia wore off. Other than the first one, I vaguely remember all of these. From what I recall, I intended all of them to be jokes, but honestly, who knows. 1) When asked if I wanted to keep the teeth, I sad yes because “I wanted to make earrings...

Wow. If only the health care act began immediately. Instead, millions of people will have to take extreme action like this or wait it out. Hopefully the changes get upheld and they’re not waiting for nothing.

“Kong’s Unholy Dance” is the second of 4 videos being released by Exotik-A-GoGo over the next couple weeks (I posted about the first video last week). It’s definitely getting me in the mood to check them out this weekend when they’ll be playing outdoors as part of Psycho Suzi’s Half-Assed Patio Party during Art-A-Whirl.

We arrived at the pool located at Building 164 and stripped down to our UDT swim shorts. An instructor said, “You are going to love this. Drown-proofing is one of my favorites. Sink or swim, sweet peas.” I tied my feet together, and my swim partner tied my hands behind my back. “When I give the command, the bound men will hop into the deep end of the pool,” Instructor Stoneclam said. “You must...
