Three Things

1. Friday Night = Best Night of Local Musical Entertainment EVAR.

First, to St. Paul's Black Dog Cafe for Spaghetti Western String Company with the unparalleled Wars of 1812. Second, off to Stasiu's for some Jason Shannon and Kentucky Air and Conver Watts action. I can't say anything more about what kind of a night this will be, or I'll shed tears of joy. And no one gets to see me cry. It would prove to everyone that I do, in fact, have a soul, and that's a conflict of interest when you edit stuff for a living...KIDDING. But really, you should come. Both of you that read this.



2. I randomly found myself in White Bear Lake today.

I've lived in Minnesota for 16 years, and I can't say with certainty that I've been to White Bear before. I don't know that I'll ever have a reason to go there again. But, as I chatted with the lady I went there to meet, I heard the sounds of water lapping the shore. The breeze was warm. I was wearing business professional attire. The water was cold. When our interview concluded, I sat on a dock, removed my shoes, and soaked my feet. Submitting to that urge was a compromise I negotiated with my subconscious, which was trying to convince me that no one would look at me strangely if I showed up for my 1:00 meeting in a sopping wet suit.



3. If they look this old, am I old, too?
The reunion tour has been a bit of a joke (okay, HUGE NEWS) at the office lately. A couple of weeks back, I had a high school kid in job shadowing me, and a coworker came in to giggle about the latest NKOTB news. The high school kid proceeded to ask us who those guys were!

That's the first time in my life I felt really, truly old. It was tantamount to my mother raving about Donny Osmond. Wow. I'm turning into my mom.

BTW, Jonathan...wash off that makeup. You look like a streetwalker.

...see?

Jonathan is my fave! I'll speak to him about his make-up.
