Whew. Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind day: worked a half-day (really more like a full shift, ugh) then ran quickly to the Lagoon and saw "Adaptation" (in itself quite a ride! odd, intense, quirky, great acting by Cage, Streep and Cooper, coherent even though the story line is all over the place) and then ran back home only to leave right away to go to a party over in St. Paul (see people I have seen in many months, always nice) and then rush over to the north-west Minneapolis area before midnight to show up at another party. Traffic was very light all night, a bonus, and nobody I was around was really drinking too much -- is that all passe now? If so, fine by me.
