Ho-ho-home

Mississippi River from the monument at Summit Avenue, Saint Paul, 12.20.07

Home for holiday R&R, and couldn't be happier about that. Trying to cram in as much St. Paul stuff as possible while I'm here. This morning that included a trip with my beloved to Mickey's Diner followed by a visit to Common Good, the best independent bookstore around these parts since Hungry Mind passed into the great beyond (RIP). Common Good is owned by some guy named G. Keillor -- no idea who he is, but his books are tall, good looking, and above average. And he's got even better signage, as you can see below.
