Show me the way to go home

I am very far behind on updating this blog. Sorry to all of you who check regularly, but, at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is compose any postings or wait for pics to upload.

However, after nearly eight months (7 months, 25 days to be exact, but who's counting?), I am finally being released from this Minnesota assignment. Apr 13 - Dec 8. I sort of don't know what to do with myself. I dreaded this assignment because of the rumors that I'd heard about working here, but this has actually been a very smooth experience (despite its length). I even like the Minneapolis - St. Paul area a lot.

I have a few last postings "in the queue" that I will put up soon. I am driving home on Sunday, and then I'll be making a trip out west for my brother and his family. I'll try to update the last MN postings in the days between that I'm home.
