Eats Shoots and Leaves


Punctuation is important for meaning, grammatically speaking.
Susan and Jacob were invited to a media frenzy around the
University of Minnesota football program and were given
field passes and Golden Gopher swag, including this shirt.

It says "No More Minnesota Nice" to let the opponents know
that their football team would not afford them the level of
hospitality for which this state is well known.

At our house, we think it really says:
"No More Minnesota. Nice!"

(with no offense to the very nice people of Minnesota, of course)

Come home soon.



The Gophers came out swinging in this one.
MarQueis Gray threw for two TDs and ran for two TDs, before halftime.
Ultimately it was a 44-7 romp for U Minnesota, probably because of Susan and Jacob.

Blue Skies Ahead

Sunday afternoon
Jacob is finally discharged from Amplatz
We charge the front door
It cannot contain us
Blue skies ahead
Blue skies await

And so we stroll
the University of Minnesota campus
the home of the Golden Gophers




The light pours down from heaven
and brings joy toys all




We cruise down
Pleasant Street


Where are we?
Dinkytown?



We rest for a while in Dinkytown



The grass was soft and cool
Their eyes were clear and bright
Gentle breezes and well placed shade
Allowed maximum comfort in the
Brightness of the sun's radiance





Then came bagels (baked fresh)
and soft drinks (perfectly chilled)



Good afternoon
Very good
