Mini-Classes From Mpls Pub Library

This sounds like fun. I'm pretty sad that the ones I'd be primarily interested in ("Bio-ethics: Moral Challenges in a Biotech Era" and "Framing the World: Photography as Art") are on days that conflict with Tae Soo Do. Debating going to "Underground Minneapolis: Archaeology in the Mill City" or "A Year of Discovery: Understanding the Latest Space Science Result."

Despite Dreams of Glamor and Striking Beauty--

--and despite the occasional good photograph, I must admit that I am mostly what could be described as "funny-looking."

( The Evidence )

At least I'm endearingly funny-looking. Although I'll admit to being slightly worried by the glowing yellow ear.
