Well, the weekend didn’t turn out to be a total loss, but once again, I entered the weekend with grand plans, and find myself on a Monday morning with quite a to-do list remaining. It’s not all bad, though. A couple of the things I left un-done are normal administrivia tasks that I generally do on Monday mornings, anyhow. There’s just a little more than usual on today’s list.
- Yesterday, Scott McGerik wrote about seeing a Northern Flicker. That’s the bird I saw last week that I didn’t know what it was. Cool! I post something here, and the web answers my question. [scott mcgerik]
- The Idiot Villager talks about Bush’s God vice and how it hurts his politics. That’s part of the problem I have wiith GWB, but his free-spending ways don’t help, either. Aaron suggests we vote for Mr. Jackson Kirk Grimes.
- Wales House is a home for visiting scholars in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood. Wales House is one of the places that I recommend people check into if they’re going to be visiting Minneapolis and want to be near the U. It’s a nice place, convenient to the U and downtown, and relatively cheap. [daily]
- Jim has some notes on Synchronicity and the 1934 Teamsters Strike, and tells where there are some photos commemorating one of the more brutal strikes in Minneapolis history. [jim]
- Reed pointed to the coverage of Nascar Ballet, in which a Roanoke ballet company has adapted the nation’s most popular racing series to the stage. It’s some strange stuff, but I like this piece which says it Feels like April Fool’s Month. My interest in NASCAR Ballet? None whatsoever, but Reed pointed it out, and there you are. [reed]
