I enjoy visiting American cities.

On my short list are Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City and Miami. But next (after New York) I would like to go to Minneapolis-St. Paul.

I know what you’re thinking (all three of you) but Minneapolis is has cutting-edge art and architecture — not to mention the Mall of America and the statue of Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Richards.

So that’s where I want to go next. I love a road trip and it’s just a 15 hour drive.

The Graves 601 Hotel looks like the place to stay. That’s it — on the right — in the picture above. It’s not cheap but Minneapolis is worth it.

skull belt buckle
Today I wore one of my favourite belt buckles and I got three compliments. One from a consultant, another from a snappily-dressed colleague, and the last from — well, let’s just say he has the biggest office.

I realize that the skull and crossbones motif is over but I’m not one to let go of trends easily. I was the probably one of the last people wearing acid wash in Scarborough no less.
