Happy birthday, Calli! They say you learn something new every day, but mine are usually not as big as this. Edited because I should summarize a bit...I wrote about "Grace", which is a Midwestern art staple, and, indeed, State Photo of Minnesota, but not in the way you might expect. Or at least, I didn't, and I'm sure Grandma wouldn't. [link]
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Happy Birthday Calli!
Today was my dad's birthday, so it's always a bit of a bittersweet occasion for me now.
I finally assembled the string trimmer I bought last Christmas yesterday. The battery was in a plastic bag that was oily inside, so I'm letting it dry out for a few days before hooking it up to the charger and live current. Assuming said battery doesn't melt, I should be able to tell if I can use trim a couple of overgrown shrubs or if need to make other arrangements.
