One Year Ago Today

Thanks to this whole “blogging the entire month of November” thing, I can confidently look back at where I was a year ago today. And that was returning from my trip to France to visit Katherine. Bordeaux and Paris were lovely and it’s making me all nostalgic just thinking about it. *sigh* I wish I…

Calhoun-Isles Community Band – In Concert!

Tonight was the much anticipated season debut for the Calhoun-Isles Community Band, as may possibly have been reported elsewhere. We played to a full (small) house at Edinborough Park in Edina. After a few small hiccups (probably only noticeable to us), we definitely put on a good show. My invited guests certainly seemed to enjoy…

A Day in the Life

For today’s blogging adventure, I thought it’d be fun to take pictures of my everyday going-to-work life. Fun for me, at least. And something to blog about on this, the 17th straight day of blogging. 🙂 So here they are, in non-chronological order. But in the most logical, at least to me. More photos on…

A New Day

The more I read about the victory of Barack Obama, the more convinced I am that we all have something to hope for. Yay! Today at work was a new, fantastic step in the right direction for business in Australia. Our old rep retired and today, the new rep came to town to absorb all…

Yes We Can

So unless you’ve been living under a rock (and even then), you know that tomorrow is the big election. The beloved roomie (know elsewhere as the Prairie Princess) and I have big plans to be at our polling place when it opens tomorrow at 7:00am. Everyone absolutely has to vote tomorrow. Participation is key and…

World Traveler

For those of you that don’t know (yeah, right), I just got back from a fun and exciting trip to beautiful Amsterdam (that sentence works better if you say it in a Price is Right announcer type voice). So, for a brief week at least, I was once again the world traveler. I even overcame…

Winter in April?

After much complaining by my fan base (read: mostly my mother), I decided it was time to give everyone an update on the status of me. So here it is, in list form, as I know how much everyone likes lists. KELSEY IS BACK FROM JAPAN!! Welcome to my long lost, world-traveling cousin. We are…

Miami Boat Show

I have just returned from beautiful, sunny Miami, FL. I was there for work, attending the Miami International Boat Show. For those of you not in the biz, it’s like the Detroit Car Show for the boating industry. A pretty big deal. I met with many of my key dealers, signed up a few new…

Update!

I know, an actual update that doesn’t involve video or photos of any kind! It’s almost unheard of! Although, I haven’t finished the post yet, so maybe there will be pictures. I doubt it, as I haven’t taken any new ones lately… Anyway, on with the update. The first few weeks of the new year…

The Adventures of Domo-kun

So Jill has this.. doll? Stuffed animal? Anyway, his name is Domo-kun and he is apparently quite popular in Japan. She recently got a new one and has asked everyone she knows to take pictures of him in random places. Last weekend he made the trip to Duluth with her, and today he came to…
