What's this about finally catching Jack the Ripper, now? I noticed too late to start reading.

The “Cup of Coffee” is the daily post where the Citizens are free to chat about whatever they want. Topics that prove sufficiently popular often migrate to their own, dedicated post.
September 8, 2014: “Home”
We're back in Arizona after a great trip that saw Beau winning a game of Fall, Caesar, an illuminating conversation about my brother's marriage that fell apart last year, a lovely wedding for my other brother who isn't prone to falling apart and generally agreeable weather that doesn't constantly suck my will to live. It was hard to leave this time, but as a bonus, Skim didn't want to leave either, and has come to realize that Minnesota is where she belongs, too.
Anyone for Green Tea?
I used to love my daily cup of green tea. That's one habit I wouldn't mind starting up again.
September 6, 2014: Big Day Arrives
My youngest brother gets married today. From there, Arizona is way too close.
September 5, 2014: Micro Manager
My brother's bride is a real concrete sequential, and as such, the next couple of days are scheduled to the second. I hope there's time for fun, and honestly, I mean for her more than anyone.
September 4, 2014: Black Sheep
Down to see the side of the family I have nothing in common with today. That's always a gas.
The gathering was a good time last night. Beau beat us all in Fall, Caesar because DG wasn't there.
September 3, 2014: MOA
We'll see if today's fun is better than the late loss last night.
September 2, 2014: State Fair & Labor Day…
...have Come and Gone. Does that mean the summer's over for you? What else is coming faster than you'd expected?
September 1, 2014: Temporarily Home
I arrived in Minnesota yesterday and hung out with my high school best friend/Spookymilk Survivor frequent nonsub threat Leif Bierly. Today's the State Fair followed by the Twins the next night and an in-person CdL/WGOM thing the night after that. I wish I had a better time than midweek, but that's not how this trip's going to work.
Still taking suggestions for a place in the Apple Valley/Eagan area, as many said this works just fine for them.
Sunday, Aug. 31: Why not?
Jose Berrios was just promoted to AAA Rochester to make an important start in their final desperate push for a playoff spot. Danny Santana was promoted to the majors after about a month at AAA. Kennys Vargas was promoted straight from AA. Berrios has always been considered the superior prospect. Why shouldn't he be a rotation candidate next spring for the Twins?
