A friend of ours has lost her dog in the Richfield/South Mpls area. Please take a quick look and pass this along to anyone you know who lives in this area. Especially anywhere near Minnehaha Creek.

Nothing but good karma comes from your help.

Thank you.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was drunk and talking on his cell phone at the time of his fatal accident, and marijuana was found in the sport utility vehicle he was driving.

huh.

apparently no word yet on whether the car contained a jug of trans fats, a pamphlet on the benefits of white slavery, or the corpses of several critically endangered lemurs.

I feel as though I’ve cut my last tie to immaturity.

That’s right, this week marks the close of another chapter of my life. I finally paid off the last of my student loans. Obviously, this is of overall benefit to me. It’s quite a bit like getting a significant pay raise, for one, since that money is now mine on a monthly basis instead of being earmarked for payment to a lending company. I suppose it will also help my credit score, not that I really had much of a problem in that arena.

It also means other things. I was on a ten year repayment plan, which means… wow, it’s been ten years already. That’s kind of a punch in the gut. It almost makes me feel old.

Still, I plan to celebrate tonight. Who wants to join me?
