JSP and I have enjoyed the past few weeks. Work has been going well for both of us and we spent our last two weekends out of town. Last weekend we went to the beautiful town of Bayfield, Wisconsin, and went sailing with our friends Rod and Georgianne on Lake Superior. Sailing in and out of the apostle islands in a luxurious sailing vessel was fantastic. JSP and I are now big fans of sailboats.

This weekend we went to a beautiful piece of land outside of Finlayson, Minnesota. Although the insects were not so friendly, everyone else was. We enjoyed nature walks, a bonfire, games of boccie ball and Catan, yummy food and and good times with Cosmic Monkey, Emma, and a whole gang of fun, friendly people. I especially enjoyed seeing the Digging In garden that Cosmic Monkey and Emma started been writing about. A special thanks to Hilty clan for their hospitality.

Elsewhere, from their South Minneapolis home, my friends Patrick and Morgon Mae have begun documenting their participation in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) on their blog CSAte. The photos they share illustrate the bounty of tasty food they write about. CSA's are a great way of supporting local farmers while receiving copious amounts of fantastic food.

On a completely unrelated note, my sister published a book review on a Web site called Donne Tempo. Her review, Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin. is compelling and well written. If you are looking for a new book to read, check out Julie's review.

Thanks for the tip on the book! I'll definitely check that out.

I forgot to tell you before that, as a true FH, I saw Margaret Cho a while back. I am convinced I am the Caucasian version of that women- mostly due to the inappropriate conversation part. Bobby and I went with another couple and we all LOVED the show, but the best part was the crowd. Very rowdy and into it. Like a gay Nascar. Awesome! Also, we saw Eddie Izzard here recently, and if you haven't seen him live, I highly recommend it. Anyway, I'm rambling now. Glad to hear you're enjoying your weekends and I think about you all the time. Take care!

I love it: Margaret Cho as a NASCAR event for gays and FH! That cracks me up.

Yeah I have been feeling good lately, eating well, and loving the summer.

Thinking about maybe doing another round of tumor removals with my plastic surgeon, but not sure on how the cost/benefit of that shakes out.

I am glad that you are following my blog, because I certainly enjoy reading yours.

Can I tell you I cried big ol' tears when I read your comment. You are too kind, my friend, and I am sure I am not worthy of such praise. Nonetheless, I want to give you sincere thanks and tell you that your brightened my day. Knowing you has made a difference in my life. Thanks for being you.
