Another weekend has past in this "
Summer of Bobby". I look back on it now and this odd feeling of joy and contentment creeps up on me. The carefree weeks, revisiting old friends, comfort within
my solitude, the afternoon breezed. I'm slowly getting back to being
happy. As much as that line sounds like something from a menopause commercial, it's a
similar comparison. "Happy" was feeling that faded away due to work
being so...the only word I can equate the past 6 months of work was
"ridiculous".
New chapter, new story!
My
first MN friend, who later became a pretty good roommate, came back to
Minneapolis for the Aquatennial. The girl loves her some fireworks.
Though I wasn't able to see her too much, the time was spent laughing
and catching up.
I
drove up to Duluth for the day, today. The purpose was a bit more heavy
hearted, but turned into a beautiful send-off to a great man who was such an
important person to many people including being a terrific father to one of
my close friend.
As the ceremony concluded, I said
goodbye to my friends and took advantage of my solo drive to Duluth. The
weather was perfect. The sun pelted it's heat down but the continuous
breeze balanced it out. I didn't know where to start my journey into
Duluth, so I did what my dad always thought me if I were to ever get
lost, "follow the water". So I found Lake Superior and just walked
beside it. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Mr. O'neil than
to explore a part of his community.

| I do love a good statue... |

| Dinner on the coast of Lake Superior, couldn't have been better |
 |
| This bird was checking me and my sandwich out. |
 |
| I found the Queen of Heart's Rose Garden |
 |
| High Fives |

| Why not a meditating panda? No brainer |
Oh, and a unexpected trip to a gas station, led me to this gem of a landmark!
On the drive back to Minneapolis, the moon came out. Does it not look like the Death Star?! "IT'S A TRAP!"
