Oof.

Please tell me something nice in the world, here or on e-mail. My back has gone totally nuts. I swear C.J. was not beating me with a stick this afternoon, nor Mark or Timprov this evening now that I'm home, but that's about what it feels like. Beaten with a stick, vertebrae knocked out of kilter. No particular reason for it that I can see. So tell me something that's good in the world you live in. Please? Extra points if it's also the world I live in.

I have an incredibly cute cat asleep on the other end of the couch. Cute adorable cats make me smile.

There's a lot of music out there that makes me grin. Is there music that makes you grin?

Whatever you think of the weather, there's *green stuff* on the trees. And they'll have leaves in the near future!

There's chocolate. And soon there'll be fresh fruit and berries in the way that only happens in the summer. And Farmer's Markets.

Cute adorable cats make me smile, too, especially when they're at your house and not at my house where they would make me sneeze.

I've been listening to an album of Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby duets. This is something of a guilty pleasure for me, but Louis's voice just makes me grin, and when he sings with Der Bingle, it's pure clowning.

Do you know where the good Farmer's Markets are in the Cities? Or are most of them pretty good?

I've been to both the main Minneapolis one and the main St. Paul one (the latter is in Lowertown).

They're both cool, the Minneapolis one is bigger. The St. Paul one, however, has my favorite soap maker ever, and is much closer to me, so it usually wins out.

http://www.mplsfarmersmarket.com/ is the Minneapolis info - on Nicollet Mall Thursdays and Saturdays, and 312 E Lyndale Ave on the weekends.

There's a bunch of St. Paul locations - http://www.stpaulfarmersmarket.com/ lists them. The 5th and Wall St. is the Lowertown one, and the one I like most. May have to go on Sunday, actually.

The Strib had info on them just today, in a timely enough fashion. Sometimes they come through for me. Thanks for the links and the personal assessments.
