Barrett, I can second the tri-tip as a good cut. If I remember right it’s part of the tenderloin?!? Regardless it makes a great meal. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Super cool.You know, I’ve never had tri-tip. Hadn’t even heard of it before we lived in Arizona. I should give it a go sometime.
Music in my head “ these are a few of my favorite things”…awesome photo.
Jack, I have been known to be a prankster of the keyboard “challenged”TM: "Oh, I don't do commas!"
JB: "You just have to press a key on your keyboard."
TM: "Yeah, but I can't cope with them."
JB: "The key is on the bottom row of your keyboard, just above the right side of your 'space' bar."
TM: "Yeah, but you know about these things!"
JB: "That's why I'm telling you it needs a comma."
TM: "Yeah, but you have to use 'cap lock' and that."
JB: "No, you don't, you just have to touch the key!"
Thank you Pete.Music in my head “ these are a few of my favorite things”…awesome photo.
Fine collection of antlers, Pete.Hello Guardianship.
Handsome!
Hilarious Pete!Jack, I have been known to be a prankster of the keyboard “challenged”
I will reveal my favorite prank.
If you get a chance, go to tool man’s house for a visit. Go to his keyboard. Use your HHB to pop off his “m” key and his “n” key. Proceed to place “n” key on his m key keyboard spot. Then place his “m” key on his n key keyboard spot.
Chaos will ensue. Please share his response for posterity.
Cool pic
LOL!
Eleanor's cute face shows what Christmas is all about....happiness and joy. Thanks for sharing.Good looking tree, Todd!
I’ll do that if it’s just a touch up (i.e., I shaved yesterday but am going somewhere and want to look freshly shaven), but if it’s been a couple days, I use shaving cream. That said, I couldn’t grow a respectable beard to save my life, so I’ve long since learned not to compare my shaving habits to others.
It’s better than nothing. (I speak from experience.)
That’s great, Jack!Nice photo.
Every year I try to convince Eleanor that Santa would rather have beer or whiskey instead of milk with his cookies, but she isn’t buying it.
This just started playing in my head when I saw your photo.
I hope your holiday isn’t affected, Jack. At least you aren’t flying in or out of Heathrow!
You know, I’ve never had tri-tip. Hadn’t even heard of it before we lived in Arizona. I should give it a go sometime.
That looks like quite a meal, Jack!
It’s warmed up a bit here in Minnesota, all the way to 34°, which is actually unfortunate, as it rained most of the day yesterday, then snowed a few inches overnight. I woke up earlier than I would have liked, and since I couldn’t fall back asleep and the snow seemed to be done (at least for now), I went out and shoveled the driveway before my wife left for work. Heavy, wet, nasty snow. I wish it would’ve stayed 10 or 20 degrees colder and just snowed, rather than rained then snowed.
Last night I took Eleanor to a live production of A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theater in downtown Minneapolis. The production was surprisingly good, and we had great seats in the third row. Eleanor got a bit scared by Marley’s ghost, who appeared with a boom of thunder and flashing lights, and the Ghost of Christmas Future, whose impressive costume looked more like some sort of zombie-Krampus than the usual hooded figure.

I could tell you it’s the lighting making her face look a bit crazy there, but “crazy” is kind of her go-to face for pictures.(Note the guy at the end of our row, who was wearing a velvety purple suit that nearly matched the seats.)

Before the show started, we walked out to the end (?) of the Guthrie’s 178-foot cantilevered “Endless Bridge,” which has a nice view of the Stone Arch Bridge on the Mississippi River at Saint Anthony Falls.

We also found a window that look right out on the Mill City Museum, built in the ruins of the second Washburn A Mill. The orignal Washburn A Mill, built in 1874, was destroyed in a massive explosion in 1878.

Eleanor’s school is starting two hours late today because of the road conditions, so that combined all the French toast talk a couple pages back made breakfast this morning an easy choice.

Hmmmm....a poster pic for "drown your sorrows" Jack?
