I had a harder time focusing on work today which happens sometime. No particular reason why that I can point to. Aldi has stopped carrying interesting cheese. My girlfriend Chris found the last of some of it when she was out yesterday at a different Aldi. I emailed Aldi customer service and they claim the … Read more
Mostly worked today. I was able to set up a meeting for next week with someone I reached out to yesterday. I don’t think I mentioned that we heard local reports of a rise in the number of coyote sightings around here. The rabbit population continues to grow as I saw last summer and at … Read more
Today my girlfriend Chris and I went to the funeral for one of the members of her Son’s of Norway lodge. We visited with some people after and also met someone to pick up sone Norwegian artifacts left by another recently deceased member. They will be of interest to some of the members who study … Read more
I took a good walk in the morning, the weather is still just a bit warm and not humid. I recall last Summer was a lot generally warmer. I spent most of the time working. I started catching up on marketing emails I needed to send out this week. I had nothing pre-written for this … Read more

We all got up relatively early to go over to the Eagan, MN 4th of July parade. It wasn’t early for Chris and I but Catherine thought it was a bit early. The parade started at 10am. Unlike last year, there was not a torrential rain storm. The parade was fun to see and we … Read more
Tired today due to being up late last night picking up my daughter Catherine. After breakfast I took Catherine over to the Caponi Art Park and we walked around a bit. It’s beautiful this time of year though a little warm. Then some grocery shopping. Catherine agreed to make a cake for the 4th tomorrow … Read more
