• Susan Kurth entertained around fifteen of her friends at Third Base on Monday, November 11th in celebration of her 29th Birthday.  We get several of those, don't we?  There were decorations as well as coffee and rolls for the guests.  According to the friend that shared this news, everyone had a wonderful time.  Happy Birthday Susan!
• I am out of news except for the ongoing excitement in my life.  I get mixed reviews on it so I'm never sure if I should report as much as I do.  I guess it's okay as long as the positive reviews out number the negative ones, right?  The chances of someone I know being in Bismarck when I am is quite rare, however, this past weekend not one but two of my friends were in town.  The one that arrived on Saturday enjoyed an incredibly delicious grilled steak prepared by Grill Master Don and the one that arrived on Sunday was served a spaghetti and meatball feast prepared by the master chefs at D & B Cookery (Don and I).  We had a great time.  Sundays' visitor stayed over and we were able to do a bit of shopping on Monday morning before I had to return her to the group she came with.
•  I hope you  had a great week.  Looks like harvest is almost complete.  I am still quite content with the thin layer of frost on everything in the morning but I do have a young friend that would rather see big piles of white fort building material on the ground.  I say the shipment of those materials can wait until at least March before they arrive!
