Friday, the 13th has always been a lucky day for me! That's a good thing since the odometer on my car read 6666 when I left Brenham on Wednesday and I arrived in Minneapolis this afternoon on the 13th:) Twelve hundred miles is a long way to drive, but I absolutely enjoyed the time to myself. I especially enjoyed my lunch today at a cafe along the lake in Albert Lea, Minnesota.

[livejournal.com profile] gotmoof gave me excellent directions to his house when I reached the city limits and was at the door to meet me when I drove up about 3:15pm. We did a bit of banking and grocery shopping before Tim hosted Sci-Fi Friday. He also made spaghetti and garlic bread for supper. Yum! Tonight was my introduction to Dr. Who, Battlesstar Gallactica and a very odd series called Dexter. The Gallactica series has come a long way since the one I remember from the 70s which featured Lorne Greene of Bonanza fame:) John, [livejournal.com profile] bearnight, Dave, [livejournal.com profile] rebisbear, and Dean, [livejournal.com profile] deansota were in attendance as well as two guys new to my acquaintance ... Eric, [livejournal.com profile] bookish_cub and Steve, [livejournal.com profile] caviecub. Such nice people!

Let the good times begin!

Surprisingly not:) At least not by the time I went upstairs (which was early). I'm beat:)

OMG - You had lunch in my hometown! :) I grew up just outside of Albert Lea ... how wild.


Hope you are doing well.

I'm doing better now that I'm away:) I've stopped in Albert Lea two or three times now. I had lunch at the Lakeside Cafe. I tried to take photos of the lake and the Mermaid, but gave up pretty quickly. There was a 40 mph wind blowing water and I was getting wet:)

I'm really happy to see a comment from you. Hope you are well too! HUGS!

Long drive, but I enjoyed it. I'll give Tim your hugs. He's a birthday boy today!

HUGS, Pat! I miss you!

Sound like you've had a wonderful trip thus far, and I can tell the opportunity to head to new vistas has done you a world of good.

For some reason, I have a very strong feeling you are about to head to something very good, and it will somehow be related to this trip. I'm glad you brought resumes along. *grin*

I'm really glad to see you decided to make this trip.

I'll be in the Twin Cities for another week. We'll have time to introduce ourselves, I'm sure:)

Well, odor 6666 in Brenham, and Friday 13th in MN, hmmm? Alright, you left all the (bad) evil that haunts you where it belongs to go meet the (good) evil that is Jason (yes, no use denying the Kabuki mask fetish!) in the land where sables are in full use at this time (pout) Biche!

There. Now I want my deeds done. Hear?

I'll head to the kitchen and see what wooden trivets can be used as a paddle:) *grin*

I told myself I shouldn't be superstitious since I had four 6s and not three:)

It was good to meet you! And I'm glad Dexter wasn't as gorey as I'd expected! Hope you have a great time while in town!
