The colors are beautiful here in town, so I know they'll be even more beautiful in Brainerd.

I did SIX loads of laundry yesterday. SIX. I will pause a moment, to allow you to be dutifully impressed by the sheer number and scope of that task.

Ragazz' turned the sprinklers on in the front yard, and I'm watching the bird convention out there. I'm Snow White. Or maybe I'm Dr. Doolittle.

Now all that's left to do is to pack up the car and head north. Andiamo!
