Minnesoexcited!

The Lady and the Significant Other recently took a road trip to the booming metropolis of Minneapolis, Minnesota, dontcha know? All the bags were packed, snacks were assembled and paper organized for a six-day-five-night, much deserved holiday. Admittedly, I slept almost the entire drive down, except for the occasional time I was pillaged for a wallet or the passports or a lip gloss. The Lady entertained the S.O. with endless games of Trivial Pursuit on her iPod and the S.O. stopped to, ahem, use the facilities at every opportunity. This meant, naturally, that I saw the inside of many powder rooms across North Dakota and Minnesota, including one that reminded the Lady so vividly of a scene from the cinematic masterpiece Zombieland that she did her business in record time for fear an unmentionable would grab her ankles under the stall door. Speaking of Zombies, the highlight of my Saturday was enjoying a drink or two at Donny Dirk’s Zombie Den in Northeast Minneapolis with the Lady and the S.O. In fact, hankering for a gin, the bartender created the Lady a special, one-of-a-kind cocktail. The S.O. called the sweet concoction “Zombie’s Kiss”, while the Lady dubbed it “Gin of the Dead”. No consensus was reached, although I lean toward the romanticism of kiss.
