One of my all-time favorite movies is "Beautiful Girls". The cast is great, the plot entertaining, but more than anything, I love how it truly captures how cold winters are in Minnesota.

Rainy Days
Yesterday was a very rainy in Minneapolis and I spent the majority of the day trying to keep our laundry room from flooding.
