Off Sunday for eight days in lovely Chihuahua, Mexico. Before you start getting jealous that I'm escaping winter for warmer climes, keep in mind that we're not talking Cancun or Mazatlan here. The highs in Chihuahua this time of year are usually in the low sixties (today the high was forty six) and in the evening it dips into the thirties. Of course we're coming off a week of subzero temps followed by over a foot of snow here in the Twin Cities, so by comparison forty six will feel downright balmy.
While we're there, we will be making a trek out to the orphanage to make arrangements for the purchase and delivery of medical supplies. Thanks again to all those who donated to the Northern Alliance Fundraiser. Combined with the money we raised at my workplace, we now have a decent chunk of change (over $1200).
The other gents will have to hold down the Fraters fort in my stead and I trust that they will not let me down (the liquor cabinet is locked and for the last time NO you can't have any friends over). Look for big things from Atomizer. God knows he's due.
Tonight I'll be attending an invitation only NHL All Star gala for the media in Minneapolis. I'm not exactly sure how or why I was invited, but when the note says free beer you don't ask questions.
Tomorrow I'm participating in the fifth annual Willmar vs. the World all star hockey game in South Minneapolis. I'm not from Willmar myself, and to be honest, I'm not even sure where it is, but when the note says come play hockey you don't ask questions.
Last but certainly not least, Brad Jones of Infinite Monkeys fame (infamy?) teaches at Providence Classical School. The school is non-denominational and is devoted to teaching a classical/Christian education. It's only been around for a couple of years and could really use your support. Drop by the site and, if you're able, drop a couple of bucks into the Pay Pal basket.
