wow, packed a lot into the long weekend. it was longer than usual because i took this past friday off. played some golf with dad, took the whole family to the twins game on friday night. went to our friend sue's place for an outdoor party on saturday, checked out the new light rail systems on sunday. now, it's back to work. it feels like i've been gone for about a week with all the stuff i had waiting for me. anyway, just wanted to post a brief update as we wind down june. it will be busy for the next couple of weeks, & then it's vacation time. looking forward to the independence day festivities this coming weekend. more later...
