For those of you who have requested Kerry buttons and stickers, they are coming. This week has been tremendously busy and I haven’t been able to sit down and stuff envelopes. But I should be able to get them out next week.
Yesterday was a lot of fun. Saw The Bourne Supremacy, a good old-fashioned spy movie. I don’t think I saw one CGI shot in the whole film. Some may find the plot a bit labyrinthine, but I enjoy movies that require the audience to pay attention. Then we had dinner at The Local, an Irish pub on Nicollet Mall. The weather has been unseasonably dry and pleasant over the last few days, which meant that we could eat outside in comfort.
The Minneapolis City Council has passed a smoking ban for bars and restaurants that takes effect next March. And it’s about time. I’m looking forward to going out and not coming home smelling like an ashtray. The smokers will probably whine some nonsense about their civil rights, but I am of the opinion that public health trumps anyone’s right to suck on a noxious mixture of tar and tobacco and exhale the fumes in my vicinity.
