On to Mason City

Well, after two reallynice days of weather, we are having sprinkles. Still cool, but overcast. It is still a lot better than the blast furnace heat we have had over the past couple of weeks.

We are heading to Mason City to get some stuff of Ellen's father from her step-sister Susan. We haven't seen her for at least 8 years. While in Mason City we are planning a stop for dinner at the

Northwest Steak House, a fantastic Greek restaurant that serves the BEST filet I've ever had. When we are close to Mason City and it is close to eating time, we pig out there.

Yesterday I did some carving, some cleaning of the RV, and went over to Mike Zahm's house to help him get on to my Yahoo! Fantasy Football League. Struggling to get this thing off the ground, we now have 6 signed up, with another three verbally committed.

Ellen spent the afternoon with Charlton Pendry at Marsha Storbakken's, playing Bananagrams and Chinese Checkers. Later in the evening we watched the rest of an Inspector Lewis episode (nothing like a British Mystery), and then the mindless Bachelor Pad....perhaps for the last time.
