My day trip to Duluth was enjoyable. My colleague Beth and I delivered a good presentation on employment and disability issues for a mixed audience of social workers, service providers, and even a few students. We had lunch at Grandma’s, a Duluth landmark. I wish I had more time to check out the city, but I did get the opportunity to sit on the shores of Lake Superior before I headed back to Minneapolis. Here are a couple pictures from my excursion.

\nIt was good to get out of the office and see some of Greater Minnesota, something I need to do more of now that I’ve lived here almost ten years. We Minneapolitans tend to think of the rest of the state as a vast expanse of farmland sprinkled with resorts. That kind of attitude isn’t fair to the people who live outside the metro area. Maybe a place that doesn’t have a dozen Starbucks in a six-block radius should be commended rather than denigrated. Of course, I’m sure people in rural Minnesota have their opinions about us cityfolk, but that’s a topic for another entry.
\nNow I’m going to plop myself in front of the TV and watch the VP debate. The Republicans are acknowledging they got outspun last Thursday<\/a> and are preparing to play hardball. To which I say: Bring it, bee-otch. There’s always a chance that Cheney could outplay the newbie Edwards, so I’m hoping John-Boy has his Litigator’s A-Game ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
