Good morning from Collegeville,
This has been the coldest first two weeks of October on record in Minnesota. I guess the expectation for “weird weather” was correct. We had our summer in September and now November in October. We might see the sun this weekend and that will be nice.
My brother-in-law had an “episode” similar to what happened to Garrison. He did not drive himself to the hospital, rather, he did have to go by ambulance from Willmar to St. Paul. He seems to be fine, but of course they will keep him there until they can figure out what actually happened. He and my sister had already packed the van for their exodus to Arizona for the winter. I sure hope that they can make the trip soon.
We really do have to take stock of what is really important. Family and friendships are what it is all about. Barby and I are planning to go to The Local Blend in “vibrant” downtown St. Joseph tonight to listen to a musical genius, George Maurer. He has a new CD coming out, “Songs From The Wayward Journey”. Go to www.georgemaurer.com to get the latest on George and his friends.
St. Thomas, ranked number 15, is coming to campus tomorrow to play football against The Johnnies, ranked number 6 in Division 3. Kickoff is at 1 PM. The two teams are archrivals. Come out and enjoy the sunshine. Come early and eat at the “Refrectory” the food is awesome.
The show this week is another live broadcast from The Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul. Bob Andrews drove up from DesMoines to attend the show with me last Saturday. It was a wonderful show. The whistle you heard when Garrison mentioned Bobby Bell and the Gopher Football team was myself. Special guests this week include Rosanne Cash, THE Rosanne Cash and singer-songwriter Heather Masse. Enjoy the show.
