Great Minnesota Get Together – Take 2

I was supposed to go to the State Fair yesterday, but the weather was horrible. I drove back from Decorah and arrived home around 5am went to sleep and awoke to find pouring rain. Damn….

So today is my second attempt. I actually went this morning with Micah before 8am. We did Fair stuff till 11am, then he was called in by his job. We left at the same time and I came home, where I am now writing this, and am picking up my sister Bessie before going back. It will be fun to see the animals with her—I love the Minnesota State Fair!

Long commute

So...Twenty one days from my last post and I find myself in the exact same place--On the air at KWLC. Tonight is an interesting night:

1) I drove from Minneapolis and arrived in Decorah at around 20:30, plenty of time for a 22:00 show.

2) The Union is half inaccessible due to the race to finish the renovations before class starts on the 30th. The only way to get to the KWLC studios in the subbasement was to take the freight/service elevator from the catering department on the third floor because the stairway is torn apart.

3) I will be leaving from the studios, picking up my (with any luck charged) mobile and then hopping back into the Volvo to return to Minneapolis. Yea me!

On the plus side--I am going to The Great Minnesota Get Together tomorrow!

Radio isn't dead

...But I am deadly bored here at the radio station. Because of the absence of one of our team members I have spent an inordinate amount of time working here lately and I am going "slightly" crazy...Is that like being "a little pregnant"?

Anyway, I miss many people who won't be back at Luther this fall like Allison and Murph and am really not looking forward to being in school without them--they're good kids.

My other current frustrations are my difficulty with Res Life and being here in Iowa when Micah is up in Minneapolis visiting.

Well this was a fairly worthless post in terms of insight or good ideas.
