Memories of Brookings....

You’ll notice that there is no TV in the room. That’s because I didn’t know that I had to bring one with me. So I asked for one and volia! Look what ended up in my room:



With the AV cart and everything. Now that is fantastic and fits in perfectly with the rest of the décor.


I went for a little bit of walk and thought what life might be like to live in Brookings, SD.
I could live here and barbecue:






I have to say – everyone here makes me feel really interesting. They are so nice. Really nice. Nicer than Canadians. Seriously. I think this sign says it all:



Ah – ever heard of a flaming brick the window?

I went for some Chinese Food and ordered not one Tsing Tao but two. The waiter looked at me like I was some kind of alcoholic freak. Single girl, alone, at a Chinese Restaurant on a Tuesday night, ordering numerous beers. Wow that is sad.



Okay I need an art director.

Brookings, South Dakota.Town Motto: Why?

So I’m in Brookings for a week entertaining the new college students at the State University of South Dakota. Shelia E was right – we don’t need the Glamorous Life. Or at least we just don’t have it.

So, they told me that they would put me up in the dorms.



At a certain age you just can’t stay in bunk beds, and single bunk beds or not. Did I want this to be the room that I hang myself in? No I don’t. So I did some maneuvering, that I probably shouldn’t have and I made this:



Ha ha! Okay I'm losing my mind.
