Accordian Dude Encroaches on Michelle Bachman Songwriter's Territory

You know the dude in the skyway by Macy's who sings the hits of yesterday and today? And he writes his own songs about Michelle Bachman and Norm Coleman? Anyway, I've noticed that the accordion guy is there more and more frequently.

Thursday is my final trial for Trial Ad. I don't need any more jurors, but if any of you are looking for entertainment Thurs eve from 6-9 you are welcome to stop by the moot court room at my school to check out the scintillating proceedings. I feel strangely calm about the whole affair even though I have much to do to prepare and am trying the case by myself this time.

I am feeling a bit better, by the way, since my pathetic post of Friday. I have not gotten bent out of shape about anything for three whole days. Yay! I spent the weekend with my family in Perham and had a great time. Brother John and I invented a new game called "Lick the baby." We pass Natalie around in the circle and everyone licks her, and whoever is holding her when she starts to cry loses. Kate vehemently objected to this game so we did not actually play it. (Something about "germs"?) But we licked her every now and then when Kate wasn't looking...
