I'm Mad for Madtown

It's a winter wonderland.

We'll Always Have Minneapolis

Home Sweet Home.

The front desk attendant at the hotel suggested, with a great deal of condescension, that I use the skyways, given the frigid temperature and my California driver's license.

I told her not to worry about it.  I grew up here.

My Bro Aaron

My other beloved baby brother, Aaron.

Or, as I like to refer to him, Red Beard.

Baby Rachel, Sarah and Aaron

Me and my beloved peeps.

My big sis Rachel and my little bro Aaron.

Memories

Don't ever not let someone take your picture.

When you are gone, your loved ones will cherish those pictures as their most prized possessions.

I will always love you, Jacob.

I Left My Heart in Detroit Lakes, MN

I spent two weeks in Detroit Lakes, MN with my other beloved baby brother, Aaron.

It was time well spent.

I was very happy to discover that DL is a station stop on Amtrak's Empire Builder.

I was not quite so happy to rediscover the wintry weather.  Brrrrr.

I left my heart in Detroit Lakes -- both Aaron and Jacob, my bros.

We will always love you, Jacob.
