"We Busted Out of Class. . ."

This is a blog about Mike's two great friends -- Paul and Tim. We've been friends forever. In Paul's case, it began circa 1967, when we both had morning paper routes and picked up our papers at the same place. I don't recall how we became friends, but we did, and we still are. We met Tim in 10th grade (1970). Tim was a kid who moved around a lot, and I think he had just turned up from El Paso, or some such place. Anyway, we all started hanging out, and just this evening -- February 17, 2009 -- we got together at The Local, a great Irish pub in downtown Minneapolis. Images follow . . . .



Here's The Local from the outside (obviously).

Here's an interior establishing shot.

Our wait person, Dolly, must have been drunk, because this is the best shot she could could take, given numerous opportunities. Paul is on the left, Tim on the right.

Here we are in 1989, although none of us can recall where this photo was taken.


And finally, our high school yearbook photos.
