Kelly and I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed, thanks to Murphy’s tail wagging and hitting the side of the RV. It’s kind of like waking up to someone beating a drum… thump, thump, thump.

We made amazing breakfast sandwiches (bacon, sausage, egg and cheeses on croissants — thanks Emmy!), and Kelly left to do some family errands. I took the time to do some laundry and swim in the heated salt water pool. After a shower, I voyaged to Target to provision for the next guest of honor, my sister Whitney.

After chores, Murphy and I drove into Minneapolis to visit Kelly and his family at their home. I haven’t been to a city in while, so it was good to see lots of civilization.

I got to catch up with Heather (Kelly’s wife), and his kids, and Murphy met Kelly’s black lab, Beau. We got to converse, eat some great Asian take out, and laugh a lot.

After dark, Murphy and I piled back into Peggy and drove back to Crystal. I wasn’t feeling tired, and the internet connection was pretty good since we were in civilization, so I proceeded to dive head first into fantasy football preparation. Lots of reading, mock drafts, and strategy creation occurred. Look out fantasy competitors, I am coming in hot!

Off to Wisconsin tomorrow!
