First off, Monte had the chance to compete in the inaugural Border Battle, race #9 in the 2008 Wisconsin Off Road Series (WORS) and race #8 of the 2008 Minnesota State Championship Series (MNSCS). It was held on Sunday. He had a great time, felt the best he's ever felt during a race, and placed 8th in his age group finishing at 1:11:36.6. Ani enjoyed watching Daddy too.
Secondly, Monte and I left the little one with Hagens last night to see the wonderful Brandi Carlile at the Fair. She played a free show at the Leinie Lodge Bandshell and like the other 2 times we've seen her, she was phenomenal. Her voice is so good live.
After the show, we see people lined up for autographs - so I get in line. Everyone else in line seemed to have an album, CD, or play list for her to sign....I have nothing! The only paper I could find in my purse was old receipts and it seemed cheesy for me to ask her to sign the back of my ATM receipt, so I thought - my shirt. I was wearing a Brandi Carlile shirt that Monte had bought me for Christmas last year.
So I get up to her and kind of clam up, not really sure what to say.... and Monte is going to make fun of me forever for this, because all I said to her was "Can you sign my shirt?" And she said "Sure." That's it. That was our conversation, if you can call it that. No "Hi Brandi." No "Love your music." No "Great show tonight." Just me asking her to sign my shirt and then she moved on to the person behind me. Nice work!

Who would have thought anything would have topped "Are you a doctor?"
