in the midst of a walkathon

this week was superb. it was a glorious week in the land of minneapolis...i brought my work with me and worked here for the week, with some creative brainstorming sessions at night with a good friend on some business adventures we are brewing...more on that later...

I was able to make it to the porch's gathering sunday night...it was so good to sit on the couch, see so many familiar faces and catch up with a community i miss so much. it snowed and was cold, but then i realized that i missed the FIRST BIG SNOW IN PORTLAND...i wish i could have been there. i bet it was beautiful with all the evergreens!!!

i got up early for my flight this morning, but didn't make it. whoops. i'll catch another one at 2 this afternoon. i guess i won't make it to the community dinner tonight!!

what to do with several hours before my next flight...so i decided i would come to MOA so i could go to my beloved H&M, i thought i could hang out in a coffee shop until the stores open up, i know, i'm whacked...so i take the light rail, enter the doors to a huge crowd of people. (mind you, it is 7:45 in the morning and the mall doesn't open until 10) and i can't get away from the mobs...they are everywhere...all wearing different walk for diabetes tshirts...

and now people are walking laps around all the levels of the mall (quite slowly, i might add.) i guess that's what you do to pass time in minnesota...you walk laps in the mall of america. so much for a quiet morning at the coffee shop. owell, it is entertaining!!

so hopefully i'll be home sweet home by midnight tonigt!
