1,117,440 Minutes

As of today, I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for two years and 47 days.

Is a place home when you forget to mark the anniversaries of your arrival?

When I moved north for my first real job out of college I knew exactly two people in the whole state of Minnesota. And they don’t even live here anymore.

Sometimes when paging through my phone book or hanging out with friends, I think of that and it makes me smile.

And never want to move to an unknown city again.

Good, Mr. Aaron. You deserve many many friends.
So you're still a Wheat Things consumption machine, eh? Exactly how many packets have you downed?

A better question is "How many family-size boxes have you downed?"

We don't have wheat-thins in England - what am I missing out on?

Richard: I wouldn't be able to tell you because Aaron is hogging the US' total supply.

You think of us not living there anymore, and you smile? Thanks a lot.
