Vote! (another reason to hit the polls)

The Star Tribune endorses Coleman???
I thought I'd left MN in good hands, and could safely vote for things like the continued legalization of marriage for all in California. But, now I'm getting worried.
Please, please, please Minnesota,
go out on Tuesday stick it to the Strib and get that scum out of office.

soap box derby!

Alena and I met up with some of my friends from work on Sunday for the RedBull Soap Box race in Dolores Park.
It was pretty exciting (and really funny).

Here's a video that somebody made of the racers:



This was our favorite part of the races:

so, we were googling "hollow chocolate baby"

and found this:

"All these newborns are nothing but candies. They are made of chocolate."

Thanks everybody for all the emails, cards, presents and well-wishes! I had a great 23rd!

Really?

Women's "health"?? I am terrified.

Obama-Rama!

So, I decided to make this giant picture of Obama for our window.
Now we fit in with the rest of the neighborhood -- Obama is kind of a big deal here.

The view from inside.

And then we decided to make shirts!

Lots of shirts.

I still have the screen, if anybody needs one.

We decided the sign wasn't big enough, so we made a super jumbo picture!
(And more shirts - new, improved color scheme.)

Big Sign!
(and doesn't our place look cute?)

It is kind of weird because it gets split by the window right at eye level, but whatevs.


OBAMA-RAMA!

(on a particularly foggy morning)
