Wear it Close to the Heartland

This just in: I'm buying a North Dakota one. These are too kitchy to pass up. You can buy one for yourself here.

Fargo, North Dakota is pretty cool. Don't knock it until you've tried it. Even NYC Broadway composer Andrew Lippa thinks so (of Broadway's The Addams Family fame with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth.)

You can find an article on his study abroad (tongue-in-cheek) here. I love how he says, "I thought, I need to go away, somewhere far away from New York."

I can't think of a better choice! Thank you to my sister Staci (a Fargo resident) for bringing this to my attention.

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather in NYC. Personally, I skipped to work today.

The Odd Couple : North Dakota and Dave Barry

North Dakotan's are funny. In 2002, humorist columnist Dave Barry of the Miami Herald, wrote a humorous article on North Dakota, which can be found here.

Grand Forks, North Dakota responded by naming a sewage pumping station after him and inviting him to the dedication. He attended. Prepare to laugh here.
