Great Weekend

Dean Reinke
Deans' Stroke Musing
Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Flew to Minneapolis/St. Paul for the weekend.

Used my new wheeled luggage cart to carry my bag and briefcase from the airport, using light rail, a bus and a five block walk for $1.75 to get to my friends house instead of the $35 taxi ride I used last time.

A wonderful walleye sandwich at Tavern on Grand in St. Paul before we headed over to another friends' house as he was preparing for a bonsai showing the next day. We succeeded in interrupting his progress to join us for beer, wine and cigars around the backyard fire.

Breakfast at an outdoor patio next to a Koi pond Sat. morning. Sat around most of the day in the backyard acting like we knew something, 'Yeah, if you want to know what that plant is and how he built the planter, Bruce is over there in the straw hat.'. But we were quite entertaining for those not part of the bonsai club.

Sunday, took a short walk around a pond with geese ready to chase us. A thrift store for books, I only bought 8.

Went to Harriet Island in St. Paul for the Irish Fair, listened to two great bands on the main stage;

Belfast Cowboys, trombone, trumpet and 2 sax players plus other assorted players.

Gaelic Storm.

There should have been there all the stroke patients from the local hospitals for their sensation and music therapy. 

The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare: The Complete Works Annotated [Hardcover] 2364 pages



Its 5 inches thick and I had to leave it along with 3 other books to be mailed to me later. This will be used for boosting my brain.

Monday was a divorce mediation meeting, nonconfrontational and something my lawyer can get proposals out of to settle it prior to court.
