Duluth - The Edge

1) The waterpark was nice, walking the Canal Park was good, dinner at Hells Kitchen was good as well.
2) got a call - Cam Sensor in Durango might be all that's wrong. But we'll see. Took the car up there, stopped to get gas, and a car wash (which didn't work) and flipping back the mirror, it snapped off. Crap!
3) Call from the Accountant - Said I didn't withhold for Minn. from my 401k... Unbelieveable - Huge - Unfixable problem.
4) Went up to Split Rock and Twin Harbors, then drove home.
5) Sunday is Choir directing (C), Sunday School (K), get Logan, the Blue & Gold (All), Choir (D) & a Youth Group Wii Tourney...

This Week

1) Durango engine has died, took it to a shop this morning. Got halfway then needed to call AAA. Still seems cost effective to fix.

2) Pulled out the Camper, scratched it on the storage unit. Needed it because we needed 7 seats for our trip to the North shore this weekend. Then Bunga called and canceled - due to Nana's continued troubles. Still intending to go up to Duluth.

3) Spoke to the Connecticut Scout Council office - They have an opening for me! Many things would have to fall in to place, but if money was not an issue- it would be a neat opportunity.

4) Interview with Perot Systems tomorrow evening - short term contract.

Hope helps

So now I have a few leads. Had a second (short,screening) interview with another retailer (rhymes with holes). In the mixed emotions department, a friend from NASDAQ got the contract to work at Mayo - It will be nice to see her. It was strange that I didn't get an interview.

Nanna fell and broke her hip, and had surgery Tuesday. Lorance seemed to be in more pain as well.

The big boys and I went to Glenwood,MN., a Scout fishing Derby Saturday and Sunday. We caught nothing and slept in the High School- but it was fun.

News! News! (but not good news)

I was laid off today - But the Lord provides, we won't starve. But we have so much to decide. It was a great experience, and a good place to work.

This Weekend

C. and I went to the Annual Wood Badge Breakfast Saturday morning. It was ok - There must have been over 150 Scouters, with 400 knots . S. and D. went with the Church group to Afton Alps for a day of Skiing/Snowboarding. N. had a game at 8, another at 10 and photos at 12. He had yet another game this morning.

I took my class out to Perkins this morning - It was good but complicated by the fact that half were in choir and sang for the 9:30 and the 11:00. In the end we missed being back on time for the 11:00.

Bunga and Umpa booked their flights for the end of next month.

The CT house will be listed for sale shortly The Washington Agency will probably be the agent - They're going to look around this week.

Ice fishing next week - Lake Minnetonka with some guys from work, and possibly Green Lake on Sunday.

And I've given in and started maintaining the Twitter account I setup.

New Year...

Yesterday we an odd day - I woke to the Zunepacolypse. The solution was to run the battery dry and reboot it after 7am this morning. Started work on relisting the Torrington house, and getting the non-paying tenants out or on-board. When I walked out to the car in Garage B, it was broken into and the Garmin was gone.

Spent the evening with the K.'s (N. best friends family) It was nice we fondued things, did a little wii, and watched robbie knevel.

The M. (N. other best friends family) came over for dinner - Logan was underfoot. Food was good, and a good time was had by all.

Nanna and Lorance are moved in to their apt. in Winsted. Bunga and her posse did a masterful job - and we called the new number today. Boy - Lorance sounds good, on the phone.

Ice Fishing - Mille Lacs

A Good day - A nice ice house.

We Me, S., D. and a friend from church went up this morning, rented an underwater camera, picked up some bait and hunkered down. It was fun, we cooked lunch on the camp grill, setup the rattle wheels and tried jigging. But we only caught one little perch. These are my camera technicians. Jigging, no - Baiting, maybe - Watching a TV - YES!
