The Namesake


This show was at Fitzgerald Theatre in St Paul, the original location of A Prairie Home Companion, and of course the origin of the name "slightly better than average." 

It was the annual joke show and our favorite was: How to the Amish hunt? They sneak up on a deer and build a barn around it. 

The show also got us reminiscing about an episode we heard last year that accurately depicted the Minnesotan's relationship with winter. I finally found the episode and here is the link to the audio is below. The relevant section is called Complaint Script and starts at minute 49.

Powder

Although we missed the snowy owl reportedly hanging out in Northfield, we consoled ourselves with some skiing in near-perfect conditions at Cleary Lake and Terrace Oaks.
