Love Feast Wednesday at Hillside Community Church 6-8 pm
Good food, good music, good company. No expectations, no pressure, no judgment, only love. I wouldn’t be telling you about it if I wasn’t planning on going myself. We meet in the Historic Shrine Auditorium across from the friendly Cozy Bar and the CJM memorial. Kids and big appetites welcome. Oh … and if you play your cards right you might even be able to get one of these snazzy bumper stickers. See you there.
Love, JP

In the shower this morning I was thinking about how the digital lifestyle is taking over my old analog self. I rarely play LP’s or CD’s anymore, Pandora and Podcasts are replacing radio, I read books on my iPhone, get recipes online and communicate with Facebook and Twitter. Many of these tools replace things I used to spend money on which is good for me but I wonder where this will all lead? Papers are going under, bands can’t sell nearly as many CD’s and I’m sure Publishers will see a loss in sales of books now that they are going digital.
I’m not sure what my point is but I am curious how others have adapted/adopted to the digital lifestyle. Is digital good for the human race?
Wacko Yard-art Photo Scavenger Hunt
While running errands today I came across this lovely piece of yard art. I’m posting it as a challenge, because I know you can do better. And because a piddly blizzard like today’s is no excuse to stay inside.

I got yer shovel-ready project right here
Ahhh spring. The time dog-owners dread. The snow melts, revealing the bounty of gifts Barfy has left for you in the backyard all winter long.
I found something that might be helpful for other dog people.
If you have one of these clamshell-type post hole diggers, it works quite well for extracting the poo from the snow and ice. And it’s better to get it now while it’s semi-frozen than in a few weeks when it’s almost liquid.
At that point, I recommend a pair of industrial-strength, chemical grade rubber gloves. Then you can just dig right in there and get ‘er done.
Trampled By Turtles, Bended Oak, Tangier 57 Play for the Lake
Local bands Trampled By Turtles, Bended Oak and Tangier 57 will play at the Rex on Friday, March 13 in a “Benefit for the Lake.” Proceeds from the concert will support Duluth’s McCabe Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America in its effort to protect Lake Superior from invasive species.

Donation: $8 Before 9 p.m., $10 after

Duluth’s Izaak Walton League is taking on the federal government (National Coast Guard and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) to prompt federal protection of our shared resource (visit www.duluthikes.org for more information about this effort). Minnesota and Wisconsin, have already begun taking steps to clean up ballast water, but varying regulations from state to state are likely to create headaches and confusion among the shipping industry. The current effort calls for a unified solution for this national problem. Come listen to some good music and help protect our Lake.

Sorry for PDD down time!
We are having some issues with our hosting provider and we are working on the issues. We may be moving to a new provider in the near future to insure more stability, better performance and hopefully leave me with a little hair. Thanks 🙂
