This post wouldn't exist if it weren't for Jen-o-rama.
I've just returned home from 7, yes SEVEN, days of traveling and I.am.pooped.
The first few days were work related travels to San Francisco then the weekend started early Wednesday with a trip to Grand Marais, MN with fellow bloggers from various states.
I saw Keri again and I met her fabulously funny friend Marge.
I was lucky enough to have dinner with Vicki and her husband and daughter.
And of course Jen and her honeymooning husband were there as well.
Last night at a rockabilly bar, Jenorama wrote the post below on a piece of paper and slid it across the table to me. Everything in [brackets] is a KathyHowe addition to what she wrote. Pictures will be posted to Flickr soon.

1. Met Jen, Keri & Vicki & Marvelous Marge & Dereck [and Vicki's husband and daughter].
2. Jen and Dereck were late for everything [guess who's getting a watch with an alarm for Christmas].
3. Went shopping. [Went shopping. Went shopping. Went shopping. And can you believe after that, we went shopping again.]
4. Walked 4 [long, hot, sweaty, OMG are we there yet] miles. [Uphill both ways donchyaknow.]
5. Played [and lost] putt putt golf [because we hadn't had enough walking yet we thought walking a golf course was a good idea.]
6. Drank many beers. [But I totally refused the gag me shot o'booze that Captain Cutler made for me.]
7. Jen offended the local band. "You guys were really great except your name sucks...oh...that isn't your name? I've always loved Aerosmith." [Good christ...I have no words. Classic moment.]
8. Went out in a canoe. [Getting blown by the wind to the far (read: WRONG) side of the lake rocks. Paddling back against the wind: even better.]

talks to the blog and work muses and asks for KathyHowe to visit Colorado
Captain Cutler made some mighty fine Pirate Punch, though... didn't he? I wanted me some of that! Did you have any of that the second eve you went there? I knew you kids would be back there on Friday night. I nearly called and told you to photo the feet while you were there... ;)
Is it just me, or do people who actually live near the Mall of America never go there?
When I lived in Minneapolis, I never set foot in as much as the parking lot.
'course, I hate to shop, and I especially loathe any kind of mall...
Go to bed, woman.
Sounds as though I missed some good stuff- walking too much, drinking too much, paddling too much. But I certainly would have enjoyed Jen offending the band...
What a pleasure meeting you all! I'm only sorry we didn't have more time in that lovely place with such fine company.
And excellent photos, too. You ladies sure were smitten with that john...
I try to avoid the Mall of America at all costs.
Sounds like a great time! I love it when bloggers hang out. :)
