It's been awhile since Brownie has been on a trip, but he got the chance to go with Mike to Minneapolis, MN (technically he spent most of his time in St. Paul) earlier this week. Mike had a job interview with US Bank after some encouragement from his good friend Kevin. Brownie made sure Mike was well-groomed and had clean hands before heading in to meet people on his Big Day:
The interviews seemed to go well. Afterward, Kevin and Mike had dinner a Faces, a restaurant located in the building where Kevin lives. Mike had something called a
tagine. It was sorta like beef stew, but without all the broth and really tasty.
After dinner we went up to the second floor where Mike got his picture taken by an old supercomputer. This is the Cray 1 serial #12. It doesn't look at all like your computer, in fact, this one has a built-in bench that goes all the way around it. The colors are a little weird, but those are the school colors at the University of Minnesota where it was installed.
On his way out of town, Mike stopped by a shop in the airport so Brownie could get a picture with a big moose. The moose was so tall Mike had to stand on his tip toes to get Browie up on the antler.
Moose aren't usually that thick, but they really are that tall sometimes!
One last picture at the airport with
Snoopy and
Woodstock.
That's it for now, but Mike and Jeannette will be home this weekend to see everyone!
