Caribou sells its Caribou Blend coffee for 8.99/lb on Mondays. Plus if you are needing an immediate fix, you can get a medium cup of coffee for a buck! I wasn’t sure if I would like the Blend or not, fearing that it would not be bold enough. After making a pot this morning in the Cusinart, I can recommend it.
The End of the Season
As one of our coaches for Hunter’s baseball team said on Saturday, the end of the season is ‘bittersweet’! It is a long season with games and practice consuming most evenings and an occasional Saturday.

I love this article. I started apprenticing for my dad repairing typewriters at his store, New Ulm Office Machines, at the age of twelve.

Review: Hacker Backpack Notebook Computer Bag by Timbuk2
I like computer bags! No, I mean really like computer bags. My problem is that I never seem to find the right bag for my needs. Once upon a time, I had a Timbuk2 bag, Commute, for my Mac Powerbook 12″. I really liked that bag and it met all of my needs.

A Wonderful Get-away to a Wonderful Place
Earlier this week, Carrie and I were able to get away for a few days to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We chose an interesting Bed and Breakfast in an equally interesting small town in southeastern Minnesota. The B & B is the Historic Scanlon House and the town is Lanesboro. We stayed in a beautiful and spacious suite known as the Steeple Suite complete with whirlpool tub, full bathroom, queen size bed, multiple sitting chairs, a comfortable love seat sofa, and a modest TV with VCR and DVD player.
