So I took Big Green to the AutoSpa for some love and attention before my next big monster drive on Friday (I will get some details and photos of all my travels on here soon) and what did MechanicBernie and I see when we looked at the mileage: 55,555.

Yes 5 FIVES!

You're either the kind of person who thinks that means something or you're not. But what? What does it mean? Play the lottery? Or good luck in general? I prefer my good luck to be highly specific...

Now my clever neighbor thought to look up what zip code that would be. It is Young America, Minnesota (looks like it recently merged to become Norwood Young America, but still...). What could be more perfect for a writer of children's books?

Also, funny: a friend from college had just written on Facebook "When are you coming to Minnesota?"

So, I don't mind a rumor starting that I'm coming to MN...but I've just been to MA, NYC, OH and now PA coming up this weekend. Then Boston the week after (only that one's for a family thing). Pretty soon here, folks, I need to sit perfectly still and stare into space, not to mention get some writing done.

But let's just say "What if" as writers like to do. What if I went to MN for a little visit...what do you recommend I go see? With kids or without? Restaurants? Nature? Art?

Ok, back to work. Trying to get some storylines sewn up before the kids get out of school for the summer.
