Passions and Phish Food
I had a pretty good day today. It was Veterans Day today (Happy Veterans Day!) so I had the day off. Really I'm a slacker who doesn't do any work, so ever day is a "day off," but today I took a day off from watching daytime soaps while I consume a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.

I went over to a coffee shop in St. Paul, then took a little walk around Lake Harriet. It was a really nice day today. I think the high was 63 (a new record), which, for reference is no the sort of thing we are used to in Minnesota in mid-November.

Then this evening I went to a bar I went down to a bar that my roommate described as "not divey enough." I tried to prove that it was divey by getting into a fight with one of the other patrons, but after I insulted him, he apologized and bought me a wine cooler.

Yet despite the pleasant day I grow restless. I think tomorrow I pack it all up and move, to say... France. Or maybe Tibet. I hear Antarctica is nice this time of year (it's spring there donchaknow). Maybe not. Maybe one of my faithful readers will have a better suggestion for me.

Oh, also there's something pretty cool at www.matthewjhanson.com, the official website of Matthew J. Hanson. You might want to check it out if you haven't yet.
