REASONS TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS

Early yesterday morning, my wife alerted me to this new book, released last month, which is currently #1 on amazon.com: REASONS TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS. It is easy to understand why. The mountains of angst being caused by the new Republican administration are impelling people all across this great country to search for guidance. This book has opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. Honestly, I feel as if I could have written this book myself.  Before the day was over yesterday, I heard the author interviewed on the Dennis Prager Radio Show. The author is a graduate of Yale University, so he is clearly a clever guy. I have considered sending this book to some of my friends and family - but I am sure that there is nothing in this book that they already don't know.

MALL OF AMERICA

Last night was my last night in Minneapolis for this trip.  After visiting my last customer yesterday, I returned to the New Hope YMCA for a 40 minute workout on their elliptical machine.  After a vigorous workout I showered up, grabbed a Jimmy John's Unwich and headed to the Mall of America.

The Mall of America is the biggest mall in the United States with over 500 stores.  My shopping list was still not complete as I was still looking for some brand-new white dress shirts.  The Mall of America is a four level mall and in order to walk once around a particular level one would traverse .6 mile.  I stayed at the Mall for around three hours and although I did a little shopping at Nordstrom Rack, most of the time I was just zipping around through all the levels and I figure that I probably walked nearly 5 miles during my visit.

Visiting the Mall of America might seem like an obvious thing to do while visiting Minneapolis.  In fact, I had been there twice in the past 20 years of visiting Minneapolis.  The 'old' Marc would have been far less interested in visiting a place that required so much walking, so much effort.  The 'new' Marc found this same requirement the exact reason for visiting.  I think that it is a great way to spend an evening in Minneapolis - it's a guaranteed multiple mile walk and therefore a calorie burning event It's a lot more challenging than spending three hours shopping on amazon.com and a far healthier way of spending an evening.
