The cookies

By gregladen on December 26, 2008.

i-822e85aaebc80d87f462d290cf0243b2-walker_cherry.jpgWe went out to cross country ski this morning. Never got to ski because it got to warm and rainy, so we went instead downtown and eventually to the Walker to appreciate some modern art.

People do not go to the Walker museum of modern art in Minneapolis to appreciate the art as much as to affect the appearance of understanding the art. Which they don't. Because you can't, and the sooner you understand that, the quicker you will enjoy it and the less annoying of a person you will be. But I digress.

The point is that the cookies, I suspect under armed guard, arrived and were there on my front steps when we returned home. Many varieties, all hand made and home made, all excellent, lovingly packaged, and accompanied by a book to read and a DVD to watch!

Thank you for my favorite cookies from my favorite maker of cookies!

I walked into her tent, went immediately to her bed and turned over her pillow. And there, as plain as day, was a stack of hundred dollars bills, a US passport, and a first class plane ticket to New York. "How the hell did you do that?" she asked, astonished, hugging me, crying. "Just doing my…

I've been checking in on people's happiness quotients, and I have many things to report. Mostly good, so if you are looking for trouble or just feeling misanthropic, don't go below the fold. Let me start with my friend elle (that is her secret code name). She has been living on the South Pole…
