Gopher Time

You should see the care package I just got from my sister Lisa.

Goldie Gopher hockey bobblehead? Check.
Gopher hockey trading cards? Check.
Gopher hockey souvenir poster? Check.
Gopher hockey t-shirt? Check.
(Are you picking up on the theme? My sister and her husband Dave are hockey nuts.)
Land o' Lakes coffee mug? Check.
Guide to the Twin Cities 50 best restaurants? Check.
Brief history of Robbinsdale, my hometown? Check.
Assorted pens, pencils and post-its? Check.
MInneapolis 2008 summer fun guide? Check.
Zippered bus fare pouch? Check.
Eddie Bauer backpack with Pirates of the Caribbean notebook & folder, actually a Christmas gift? Check.

All this, plus the occasional respite of her nearby condo in case I get dorm-weary.

I think I'm good to go. (Thanks, Lisa.)
