Pirates Ride the Stormy Minnetonka Seas

A bunch of us went pontooning, swimming, drinking, etc. etc. etc. on Lake Minnetonka this afternoon to celebrate Dave's birthday. We thought it would be hilarious to wear pirate hats and eye patches and plunder neighboring vessels. Or at least just nicely ask them to share their booze with us.



Things didn't really turn out that way. Things are so much cleaner in the concepting stage. Plus we had plenty of booze and plundering seemed like a lot of work.

Last night we ate at 112 Eatery. I've been hearing great things about this place forever; I can't believe it took us so long to try it out. Everything was perfect and delicious, one of the best meals we've had in a long time. My favorite was the steak tartare. And they have a fabulous and rich tres leches. Oh man, I am getting hungry again just thinking about it.

Friday night we headed down to a BBQ in South Minneapolis. The hosts had set up a movie screen in their backyard and at nightfall we watched One Crazy Summer and chowed on popcorn. Outdoor movies are the best. Great fun.

I'm about to go offline for a few days. I'm leaving Tuesday morning to visit my family, babysit The Adorable One, watch my sister Mary's volleyball game, and celebrate my Grandma's 80th birthday.

Here's a little video to help remind you that the future is bright. Have a great week!
