I made it to thirty five. Not that I view this as any sort of milestone.
Oddly, I don’t get too retrospective during birthdays – leaving it to New Years – probably because I like the company.
But courtesy of the global market chaos, I’m spending significant chunks of today in my zen place. I took this picture during my last visit to North Dakota and I turn to it for calm. There's so much of me that stems from the prairie - I love the sense of space - there's nothing interrupting your view of the sky - exposed to the sun, and the constant wind - god is embracing you so fully because there aren't other distractions - that's what I feel in this picture.
An old friend treated me to lunch at this new crepes place in downtown Minneapolis (http://www.labellecrepe.com/) that used to be an old popcorn/cigarettes counter next to Zelo. It was delicious and we were able to find seating outside in the sun. As we pass quickly through fall, I’m trying to take advantage of lunches outside.

A final aside, I have the biggest crush on Donna Brazile – make a point to watch this video:

Happy, happy day! Ahhh, the picture is gorgeous and expansive. I, too, have great fondness for the prairie since I spent so much time in ND as a kid. There's nothing more lonely and aching and beautiful as a prairie. Sigh ... hope this 35th year is a sparkling, lovely year for you!
