I'm back in Mpls for the holidays, and while I love to be home, it's -9. That's just wrong and gross. That's January weather, not December weather. :(

I had my "fake 30th birthday" celebration last night, since I will be in NYC for the real thing. It was perfect, small and relaxed. Angela and I went to dinner at 112 Eatery (highly recommend this if you're in Mpls). Excellent meal, I loved the butternut squash with Gorgonzola and Maple Syrup. Then it was onto JJ's with Anna, Jason and Susie. It was wonderful to just hang out, have some beers and laugh. A lot. No fuss, no pretense. My kind of people, my kind of event.
