• Riding the scooter to soccer @ Augsburg on Saturday morning and not hitting a single light the entire time except for the right turn onto 28th from Hennepin which was red but there was nobody coming so I turned without slowing down too much and I still say that counts. Crazy record breaking time. Zoooooooommeepmeep.
• Artwise: the Turman opening thing that had free guacamole and some new prints for sale was cool. I also really liked these velum pieces by someone named Lee Langer (?). And then there was this set of crazygreat paintings - that were all sold by early Saturday afternoon (?!) - by a guy that I think was named Chris Shultz, though I probably have that name wrong and he's not in NEEMA so I can't find him to verify. Basement of the keg building. Loved it.
• The polish - and especially the kraut - served out of the parking lot of the PNA. The lady put a polish in a bun, then she dropped like a pound of sauerkraut on top, and *then* she asked "how much sauerkraut would you like?", as though a pound would be the absolute minimum anyone would ever want. So I say "uhh, twice as much as that?" and she dug in for more and I think I maybe squealed a little bit as I calmly reached for an extra napkin. Hope she didn't notice.
• Finding a front row spot at the Mpls farmers market on a Sunday morning. Herbs, eggs, a smoked trout, some strawberries, a huge caramel roll, some sunshine, and 4000 people buying bedding plants. Worth it for the energy alone. In related news: how pumped am I for strawberry season? Superduperpumped. Jam on. Shamone. Jamone? I like it.
• More or less 5 straight hours of up-to-your-elbows gardening. And I only planted 4 things. It turns out I had a lot of prep work to do. And that I'm easily distracted. By weeds. And kids. And lawnchairs. And shade. And Wilco reruns on Prairie Home Companion. And check it out, doesn't that cloud kinda look like a bunny? Oh hi bunny.
• The Huna40 party. He had mini cream puffs, meatballs, and beer. And a band in his garage and about 100 people milling around. You know how this ends.

I think that's everything. Yay for spring. No yay for my camera still being broken. Boo.
