cold & crazy.
this morning found me at 4:15. i joined it at 4:30 and after a leisurely half hour, made my way to the target here in maple grove.i liked driving so early in the morning. there were so few cars and the stars were out and the air was so crisp. it's been a long time. i miss it.
5:30 found me as the 11th in line to get the cities 97 sampler. brother ben asks for this every year for his birthday and i, his loving sister, stand in line to ensure i get one for him. this year, i went a bit earlier than usual, in an attempt to miss a bit less work. and i met three people i hope to see there again next year when i roll out of bed at 4:30 to join them. susie, julie & al helped the two and a half hours fly by like it was an hour. we held each other's spots while we made runs to mcdonald's for breakfast sandwiches & coffee. al offered me his boots when my shoes were proving to be ill chosen. i didn't take him up on it, but i was pretty grateful for the offer. these were definitely people i want to see again. even if it's not until next november.
you're crazy, julie, you say. well, perhaps. but consider this:
right behind me in line slept six people in various sleeping bags and tents that were waiting for the play station 3 coming out tomorrow. they've been there since early last night. one guy paid another guy $200 for the coveted and final sixth spot.
see, i'm not so crazy.

do you get to buy more than one cd? two maybe? five? What's the limit? For all that waiting I would want to have at least two cds - one to keep and one to give. that seems good.
