Decorah, IA
A meeting with the sales reps was held tonight at McCaffrey's Dolce Vita, and after parking my BMW at Chris's and dropping Katie's bag off at Karate for her Black Belt testing. I sat with my parents after mingling and had an amazing steak and a wonderful night.

At 1300 hours, I acted my last performance as Sheriff of Nottingham from "Robin Hood" in Trollskogen park. The performances got better every day, and this one was my favorite of them all. Our cast party at Kay's was very fun, and we shared 4 liters of our Elderflower Champagne out of the ceramic insulated crock. We also took home Kay's grill, since she no longer wanted it.

Today's ride in brought me down to 29.3 degrees, an unexpected dip from 42 at my house. On the ride home, I will surpass 17000 miles on my BMW F800st, which is the goal I had for this year on the bike. I estimate 2000 more, since it is supposed to be a warm fall. Rehearsal tonight, followed by choir, though I'll likely skip bells. Then out with the cast and singers for a drink to celebrate Mark's birthday at the new Lion's Pub in town.

I should have ridden the F00st today, but I'm knee deep into Literature in the 16th Century by CS Lewis, and Thomas Moore is currently on his chopping block. It is so witty, informative, and I can't get enough. An hour a day is probably enough though. Tonight is Beer Choir at Giants, and Mark's birthday, then rehearsal for "The Book of Liz" at 7 PM. We will likely adopt a furry cat tonight. I want to name him Earl Grey, but haven't discussed that with Rachel or Mauser yet. We are mourning the loss of our little baby kitty that didn't make it past a month of life. I will never forget my beautiful kitten from Back to the Future.
