A co-worker convinced me to go swimming at Lake Nokomis today. I haven’t swam in awhile and never in open water. It was much better than a pool though a lot colder!

Lotsa Mulch
11 bags fit into the trunk of my Passat. Easily fit 20 bags in the car. Now have a nicely mulched side of the house and the 2010 landscaping is done. Now I just need to mow and work on the grass!
Bike Ride and Victory Memorial
Today I went for what turned out to be a 28 mile bike ride. I did the northern section of the Grand Rounds which includes the stretch of Victory Memorial Drive. Both the memorial and the drive are in honor of the 500+ servicemen from Hennepin County that died during WWI. I didn't plan it that way, but it seemed fitting since this is Memorial Day weekend.
Pa’s Hat: Liberian Legacy #pashat
An amazing show about the civil war in Liberia. Peace comes from forgiveness. Very thought provoking. A nice tie-in with Somalia’s war at the end.
The Hub
The Hub branded their bike racks with stickers. I couldn’t get a shot of the sticker with my Freewheel bottle to work out. We’ve got some great bike shops around!
