- Saturday morning I got up and went down to stand in line for Trey tickets. I got there an hour or so early and just sat on the floor and read the paper and talked with the other dudes in line. Approximately 2 minutes after tickets went on sale, I was back on my scooter heading home. Here are some adjectives I could use to describe the tickets I got: "front row", "center", and "yeehaw".
- Saturday evening was the Morningside 100th anniversary street party celebration down at 44th and France. The local business association sponsored a jazz band and there were cheap hot dogs and free root beer and they had balloons and hay bales to sit on and everything. There were lots of people. It was quite a scene.
- Sunday morning was the marathon. We went down to Harriet and cheered and beat on drums and shook maracas and yelled out the runners names if they had them printed on their shirts. The marathon remains one of the few things in life I refuse to get cynical about. I saw an old lady crying as she watched the people run by - no way I'm making fun of that.
- The Vikings messed themselves and ruined my afternoon. Kudos to them.
