Good sunny morning from Collegeville,

The kids are on fall break so it is a quiet morning on campus. We are going to have Charlie, who will be two years old next month, for the whole weekend. A first time for all of us. It should be interesting. His parents are going to Duluth for the weekend.

My buddy Bob is doing better. He will be in the hospital for quite a while but his wife and son are there to encourage him everyday. He is a huge fan of APHC which only goes to prove that Garrison’s humor has appeal to both sides of the aisle. Bob has been known to drive up from DesMoines to attend a show at The Fitz and to drive back the same night. One Saturday he flew two friends, who are nuns, to Holmen Field so that they could experience the show live for themselves.

Today in Sauk Centre Dave is honoring Steve Jobs at his office. Dave was one of the first newspaper publishers to buy a Mac and it made producing a hometown newspaper a lot easier.
