It is gorgeous outside, and in the spirit of nice weather, I am going outside to grill dinner.

29. I should have explained from the beginning. My bad.
Anyway, I'm no longer there. I'm now in Düsseldorf, getting
ready to run down to München for the weekend. The weather
still sucks.

6. It made it to 40 degrees F here in Sauk Centre.
I had my sliding glass doors open for a while there.

I guess only we Minnesotans would be crazy enough to do that. :P

14. I've never read them, sorry to say...I moved here for college and
have been here ever since. I was totally unfamiliar with them, not sure why...I was a bookworm from Day 1 and read a lot of the 'standard' stuff - Nancy Drew, Bobbsey Twins, all that kind of thing, but I must have been gone on Betsy-Tacy day *lol*

19. I walked from Linden Hills to 50th and France
because I had to deposit a check, and then I had lunch at the Edina Grill, just so I could order a side of their sweet potato French fries with a spicy dipping sauce. Then I walked back a different way! :bounce:

We Minnesotan go crazy the first day we can go around without our parkas on.
