Pat Boone – Love Letters In The Sand

I woke up with this stuck in my head. I'm dreaming of a warm beach vacation (it's only going to be in the 70s today, burrrrrrrrrrrrrrr).
November 30, 2014: Seriously
I coughed for nearly all of November. It's time for this to stop.
Happy Birthday–November 30

Mordecai Davidson was the owner of the Louisville Colonels in the late 1880s. Under financial pressure, he tried to save money in a variety of ways, including fining players each time the team lost. As a result, he is credited with inspiring the first baseball players' strike.
Frost Bite Falls
Did the Moustache Run this morning - a balmy half-marathon that starts and ends by the Nicollet Island Pavillion. There was a good turnout today and it sounds like good weather (compared to what they've had around here for a while).
My time wasn't great (really struggled with the last two miles, had to walk a couple of times), but I was able to keep moving enough to not have my sweat freeze on me.
It was a different (hillier) coarse than last year, going over to run along the UofM for a ways, then back over to the River road.
The riverfront area is very nice - they've done a lot of improvements/parks, walkways, especially by the new Guthrie. Nice view of St. Anthony falls at the beginning of the race.
There was a dude in the moustache competition who dressed up as, and had the same stache as Rollie Fingers. First place winner was a guy who invented a new moustache - called it the long-horn.
We went over to The Bulldog, N.E. afterwards for burgers+Surly's. This place has become our Minny version of Plan B.
November 29, 2014: Whoa
Yesterday I went the entire day without checking email. I'll bet it's been months to years since I've done that.
Happy Birthday–November 29
