Well, I'm from Minnesota, and concequently I refuse to discuss the weather. (for those who havn't been to MN in the last five years, the media has taken to 50% weather on all outlets. I can't belive anyone would belive them, they aren't even right when they tell me what I'd see if I looked out the window now more then half the time)

Minnesota is beatiful this time of the year. Just yesterday a flock of sky carp (canadian geese) flew right over our home at treetop level. Not to mention the trees, lakes and rivers.

As for music, people prefer it when I sing tenor (so miles away). Accually when I hit the right notes I have a great tenor voice, but I don't often hit the notes I want. I'm getting better though. I alway play a little keyboard, problem is the only keyboard I have to play is cheep enough that I out play it, and I'm a novice. So I'm thinking about taking up mandolin or something. Any suggestions?

Minnesota was mostly settled by germans, but a signficant number of swedish and norwigions settled here too. That would be fine, but the sweeds and norvigians mostly settled in the same remote village up north. If you know the sweds and norwigians, you can imangine how a norgian girl is gonna feel when she realsies that there is only one elliagble guy her age around, and he is swedish. It made for some interesting marriages, and the results have shaped our culture significantly.
