You know I’ll be wearing shorts!

So I’m going on a little trip. Way back in the planning stages, this trip was destined for the sunny skies and aqua blue beaches of the Caribbean. On a very large boat. With lots of adult beverages. And even more scantily clad women running around.

Alas, life doesn’t always work out the way you want it to. Sometimes life walks right up to your door, invites itself in and then proceeds to pants you in front of all your friends and family. If life is in a real saucy mood, it will point and laugh too. Point in case, somehow St. Thomas has gloriously metamorphized into Minneapolis.

No, not the Minneapolis in North Carolina. The true Minneapolis. The Minneapolis that houses the Twinkies, the Saints and that college with school colors that look an awful lot like USC. The Minneapolis where Northworst is based and rules the Midwest skies with an iron fist. The Minneapolis that is affectionately known as MSP, Minnie, the Twin Cities or if you’ve done a real tour of duty in the area, The Cities. Yes, the city that will freeze a little bit of your heart, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Connelly has informed me that the area is rolling out the red carpet treatment and dropping the temperatures to a “maybe I should bring pants just in case” level. I can’t wait to take that first breath of sub zero air and feel my nose hairs instantaneously freeze. It’s been too long!

  3. Yes, it is cold, but did you want extra sympathy by putting the temperatures in Celsius so it looks more cold?
    Hey, it ain’t Canada, just really really close!

  4. No, I’ve just always been one of the few Americans that actually embraced the metric system.

  5. I must say that I embrace it too. Granted I grew up on it so there may be a little bias there too.
