At today’s MNteractive PowerLunch I received the following fortune cookie message:

“Explore the backroads of the north with a new friend.”

It seemed fantastically relevant to last weekend’s journey.

If you haven’t been to the Sawatadee in St. Paul, the service is fantastic. I haven’t been there for months and the waitress recognized me, remembered what I ordered last time (pad thai chicken), and how spicy I liked it (5). Rock on.
