Hmmmm. Hmmm.
Trying to plot out if I can sneak away and see Nilly in SF. Well, we'll see what's going on when the dates are set.
Hmmmm.
Oh, and I'd like to share Z's brain-dump of a list of MSP's attractions:
huge theater scene - both small and large, scuplture garden, orchestra hall, minneapolis institute of the arts, walker art center, the james J. hill house, the gangster tours of the wabasha street caves, fort snelling, swedish american institute, mall of america, stillwater, valleyfair, canterbury downs, casinos, taylor's falls, rockin' downtown scene, stone arch bridge, mill city museum, mn science museum, 4 major sports teams, about 50 historic houses, the artist formally known as someone other than what he'd like to call himself other than prince, the franconia scupture garden, southdale (the first enclosed mall in the usa), miracle mile (the first shopping "mall" in the usa), the MN zoo - (which f'ing rocks), the state capitol (a site to behold unto itself), a ton of grand ass theater (did i mention that?), a fantabulous downtown scene, some rocking theater (i may be repeating), great food, the best asian restaurants anywhere, and juliana.
I love that man.
I love the new house, too, and I haven't given up on the idea of a trip CA ward in August. I just feel kind of unsettled-not knowing whether it's feasible to even dream of it, you know?

juliana! Didn't your play open last weekend? Oh, and isn't anything in the bride's before-the-wedding rights that says she can sneak to meet invisible friends from across the world?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Wrod. I need some round-trip tickets to LA and one to NYC, please. Oh, and about 3 more weeks vacation. Lovely, thanks.
JohnSw, It would be a total treat to have you out here. How's things up in the Great White North? Keep your tuk on, eh?

Nilly!! Hi, sweetie! We did indeed open last weekend, and have been playing to record houses. Apparently the humor stylings of Steve Martin (the playwright and comedian) are a big draw. And there bloody well should be a clause saying I can sneak away and meet you.
Sean, I'd love to come visit. There's that time and money permitting thing. Depending on the timing, I may have to try to catch Nilly at the NY end of her trip.
It's the Great Wet North today, after yesterday being one of those low 70s, sunny, light breeze-days that I'd like to bottle.
You'll love this: the word is "toque", from the French, natch (we would have had hours of fun with "Fool of a Toque!" when I was a kid). I've never been a good wearer of toques, even as a young'un. But then, I don't wear a jacket when I should either.
Take off, to the Great White North...
