In Des Moines

1. First off, I'm writing this from the library on Franklin Avenue in Des Moines. Megan is at her IAMB audition / rehearsal at Roosevelt High School which is a brief 2.3 miles away, as shown here:
   
   
2. Next, while looking for something else on my phone, I came across this text message I sent to my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law:
   
   Wife with drinks check.
   Kids off to the pool check.
   Don't write back for awhile....
   
   
3. I am working on ripping CDs while I sit here. Number 6 is in the CD drive now.
