“Targetron” – I’m guessing the dress code doesn’t help this stereotype.

GodTube: Baby got Bible. I’m stunned. More stunned than I was all the way through Borat. Um, ‘thanks’ Rex.

1. First, a reminder – that when you sit down to do something, and focus on it the results are impressive.
   A little back story – this last week all I did was add things to the To Do index card stack. Rarely, did I have the celebratory crumple-up-and-toss-in-the-recycling-bin.

Yesterday’s travels dropped me in the middle of the snow storm expected in Mpls tomorrow or Friday. It’s a heavy, steady snowfall. A couple inches so far this morning.
