Are you afraid someone will think you're American if you speak openly?

Oh, so funny. It's a quote from Downton Abbey.

This break we've managed to remove more of the planter structure in the basement. I ran 5 miles, biked a bit, did some lunges and went out for NYE with Mary, went for a long and happy Happy Hour and played Settlers of Cataan with Kassi.

Now it's all over--the 4 days of Vacation. This is the longest Dan and I have had off from work in our house in Minneapolis without having to travel somewhere. It's really quite peaceful to have uninterrupted time together.


We found McCoys in St Louis Park today, almost in Minneapolis. Felt just like home. :)
The Iowan Caucuses are coming up tomorrow and I'm hoping that Ron Paul wins. He should be easy for Obama to beat.
