"a walking tour of one's own headache"

In an attempt to properly celebrate the end of one beautimous summer, I'll be roadtripping up to Minneapolis to see the folks today.

Free food, wine with my Dad, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, skyrides and hot dogs at the Minnesota State Fair. Hooray for Labor Day weekend.

For some company on the long drive, I just had to create a new playlist. Enjoy yourselves on this nice little break.
