It's been a great weekend here, but we are preparing to say goodbye to the Blue-in-laws, Mary, Lou, Ted, and all the locals and depart the lovely twin cities area later today. If you are as carnivorous as I am, and are ever in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I can't more highly recommend where we ate last night, Manny's Steak House, unless of course, you are picking up the tab, in which case I can't more highly recommend peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but as I say, Manny's is first rate. Just remember that the drinks tend to be large, something I didn't take into account when having a second one with dinner, which was enough to make the computer spin when I was trying to do this update upon returning, which forestalled the process until this morning, as I finally find myself returning to sobriety.
