That would be the song my family sings every yule: "Christmas Card To A Hooker In Minneapolis."

Tom Waits is currently touring, but nowhere near me. I would give Hans' left nut to see Tom Waits.

Hans in that top pic you look too young to even get a moped license.

Actually I think the song is "Christmas Card FROM A Hooker In Minneapolis."

drunken second guess: My Girl

Sixty-hour work week?? Oh man.

You could probably work 20 hours less and buy double the house if you were in Minneapolis. But then you wouldn't be in New York, so that's a trade-off.

Based entirely on your blog, though (in other words, words on a screen -- whatever that's worth), I think you'd really dig living in Minneapolis. Not that you said anything about actually considering it. But backyard BBQs in the city and trips to the lake, you bet.

No East Village though.

plus we have an indoor baseball field! and if you like being "indoors in the outdoors", ice fishing is for you. and if you stay long enough you will be driven to such a high level of boredom you might actually try something creative, like, well not to brag, but, like a 'prairie home companion.'

St. Paul is where Johnny Cash met her accidently. And where he couldn't stand it when she drawled her southern drawl.
