Great moments in my history

And they're not even made out of curtains.

I had shorts to match.

Who cares about the flower-print outfit, tell us about the fish. That's a pair of nice walleyes. Were they caught in the Rainy River/Lake of the Woods area or is this Lake Vermillion? Did you catch them? On what? The Melinda June blog needs more hook and bullet pictures and stories, and let's hope this is just the start!

I had an outfit like this, but I ripped the pants at work last month...

I swear we had the same wardrobe and it's kinda freaking me out.

Again, I would have to say I would wear this today. The outfits just aren't that hideous. And you have the cutest face too!

BAP: the Red Carpet Lodge outside of Baudette, guarantee they are Bob's and I'm merely eye-candy, and who knows...worms? I'll get right on that hook and bullet business.

Doug, I always knew you had good taste. What did Pat Benetar think of your outfit?

T, perhaps we are the same person?

Get one like it and take a picture, Tanya. I dare you!

This outfit stands out from the rest- it has a certain Marimekko quality to the design- I give it high marks! Personally, I would have lost the windbreaker but parents being what they are, I'm sure they made you keep it on.

Was it sleeveless? Now that would be fetching with a pair of little black china flats and a bit shorter hem on the pants, more gaucho.

LOVE the hair- very now, very then, very sleek.

By the way...would you please play with Doug. He's never going to stop until you mess up his blog with lots of goofy comments.

And Doug- I'm just trying to help because I love you.

MJ,

Thanks for the nfo on Baudette. I'm more of a Warroad guy, but what the hey.

You should write a post shaming T.C. for not getting a blogger account and commenting on your posts. The dumbass should be able to figure it out, don't you think?

I think I had that outfit, too — but in blue. You wore yours better, I think.

I love seeing the Twins cap. I was always told that Mindy was a Cubs fan, but she is more of a Minnesotan than she lets on.

Who knew so many of you ladies would rate the outfit highly??? Beth, I think Blue's more your color. You should have had my windbreaker.

Seems TC beat me to it, BAP. Hi Gomer. And I'll point out that hat is on my brother, not me. It's likely we stopped at a game on the way north and therefore the hat is new. Kids love new things.

Melinda June! Just to prove my love to you, look what I had made.

The inimitable Sans Pantaloons did it for me.

If you had all those clothes now you could sell them for a fortune. Or at least give them to the Smithsonian! Funky.

Melinda June, I know! Isn't it a riot?!

Ways other than Paul Blart and lipstick to combat economic depression

They say that, when the economy tanks and you can't see any way through your pile of bills and are wondering who you'll look wearing one of those barrels with shoulder straps, women buy lipstick and everyone goes to upbeat, escapist movies to take their minds off their troubles. But I'm here to tell you that any lipstick worth having is nigh 'bout $20 or more and you'll just end up regretting it, and Hollywood has not caught up with the times yet. Plus, it's Oscar season, so once you've seen Slumdog Millionaire your choices are sexy Nazis seducing children, attractive suburbanites mourning the death of their dreams, and nuns and priests talking about child abuse. (That said, I hear Gran Torino is a good diversion with a message, and if you don't hate Brad Pitt as much as I do you could probably sit through that Owen Meany movie where he ages like he's from Ork .) And while I'm as big a Kevin James fan as the next person, you can't ask him...

Planning Funerals

We've been picking out hymns and suits to wear at the visitation and crematory urns for the ashes and cemetery plots with a good view. My dad passed away at 1 PM on Father's Day. He'd been in excruciating pain, which progressed as the week went on. By Thursday night we had to up the morphine dose so that he slept all the time, but at least he wasn't writhing in pain. Metastasized bone cancer is an ugly, ugly thing. On Friday, I spent the day with him. I sat in the comfy chair in his room and read him my Managing Strategic Innovation prep work and case study. I guess I'm assuming it was the morphine that kept him sleeping, but we'll never really know. On Saturday, my mom and I played scrabble by his bed most of the day. There were some rousing plays, especially since she refused to let me play 'squab' and 'nori' because these were not familiar words to her and we didn't have an official scrabble dictionary handy. I called her a dirty cheater,...

Executive MBA 2006-07 Director's Prize

This prize is awarded to the Executive MBA student who is judged by his or her peers to have contributed most to the overall success of the programme. Awarded to: Me I'm really happy about this - I've been the stream rep between the administration and my fellow students, which is the primary reason I've won this...I've managed a lot of situations and helped sort out problems, and while it's been a bit of work it's also been quite fun. I've got all sorts of thoughts and feelings, and in about an hour I'm calling my mom to hear about Thanksgiving with my brother and to tell her the news, but the over-riding reflection I have is this. My dad would be very, very proud. This would have made his day.
