Thursday's walk and a new movie!

So on Thursday I took off for my walk sans camera. I didn't even realize this until I was about a mile into the walk.

I did take one pic with my cell phone.

Who knew the milkweed that fed the caterpillars of my childhood had blossoms? Not me. I'm just sayin. . .

As I was walking back over the Wabasha Bridge, I discovered the Taste of Minnesota on Harriet Island. I wandered through the booths, and one thing became crystal clear: There is a corndog in my near future. . .

Dina's sister Bonnie created this video for Mad and I. I can't quite figure out how to put it in as a link, so you'll just have to go and come back. It's hilarious!

Today is a cross training day. My original plan was to golf with an old friend. However (and this is why you shouldn't be friends with law enforcement types) he had to cancel because there was a shooting in Duluth. Seriously. He CLAIMS he will make it up to me next week. I am dubious.

Instead of golf, I'm gardening today. And don't roll your eyes at me. I have plenty of heavy lifting which should qualify for cross training - starting with gathering wood chips from piles in the Mpls parks. Which I am off to do RIGHT! NOW!
