Well, to recap the weekend

We spent it examining the wares at garage sales Up North. I bought a couple books, one on Lincoln called A Man for the Ages and one by Hermann Hesse, who wrote the existentialist classic (read: interminable naval-gazing while failing to take any positive action) Steppenwolf, called The Road to the East.

We also made a bunch of stuff we need for Rendezvous Reenactment camping. And, yes, that means we go around pretending to be Frenchmen, but of the braver sort, who had the wit to leave France. You can't walk very far in Minnesota without running into a reminder of the Voyageur Days.

So now we've got a bunch more junk in the house. Great.
