She has something new coming out (I didn't recognize the work).<BR/><BR/>* When I was in Helsinki a few weeks back, I came across a Finnish-subtitled version of "Jane Austen Bookclub" on one of the TV stations.<BR/><BR/>* Chicago has had over 1.6 inches of rain this weekend while we in Fargo had wet sidewalks Saturday morning.<BR/><BR/>* While Lyz is visiting her sister who is a twin, my wife is out of town visiting her sister who is a twin. Both Lyz and my wife leave behind a husband and two great kids in Fargo.<BR/><BR/>* I should be outside enjoying this beautiful summer day.
