Quick Catch-Up

a) From what we can tell, the Rapture did not happen. Or, if it did, at least it wasn't followed by the rolling earthquakes and world-wide destruction. And apparently none of my circle of friends were taken. At least from what we can tell so far.

b) Late last night, while ignoring the budget, jobs, and all sorts of actual major issues, the MN State House of Representatives approved a measure putting the state gay marriage ban amendment to a statewide vote on the 2012 election ballot. Proponents insist it's not about discrimination. I'm not sure how they rationalize that.

c) Minneapolis has had major rain the past couple of days, followed by storms today, which even spawned a tornado in northern Minneapolis. (Seriously - something like 3.5 miles worth of damage and destruction. It's kind of wild to see the images.)

d) Our yard - while luckily completely free of major storm damage - is waterlogged and really sad looking. Hopefully the sun will come out in a few days and everything will perk back up.

e) We found out, yesterday, that all of the work we've been doing with the pup's ears has been working. We were informed by our vet that her ears are "normal" - we were probably more excited by that than the vet expected.

I think that's all of the updates that you've all been waiting for. Let me know if I missed anything.
