The promise of a Coming Day...

Hmmm.... What to report today? We went out last night to the Historic Peacock Alley Restaurant and Bar in Downtown Bismarck, which has served as both a center for bootlegging and the State Capitol after the building burned down in 1910. Saw Eric "Pukehard" Icard, Brian "Diddy" Shawn, Stephen "Muffin" Ryan, Eric "EA" Anderson, my brother, and a guy working with Pukehard named Bailey who's doing a summer ND gig for the State Deparment of Commerce. Following that, we went to the Broken Oar, which may be the coolest bar in the area, as it has a large deck overlooking the beautiful Missouri River and at which boats can dock and pick up a tipple. At the Oar, we saw Lonnie "Lon Nol" Miller, an old friend from the UND days. So it was rather pleasant.
Mother has been making nice meals. The Twins have been pitching extremely well. Other than a rather vicious yet short-lived thunderstorm last night, the weather has been pleasant. All in all, this trip to North Dakota has been a very nice one. I have a fair bit of sorting and the like to do tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday, but it'll get done. Bangkok is coming, and that right soon. Hail progress!
