Gen, mia_mcdavid‘s mother, arrived yesterday for a visit. She will be staying until next Saturday. This is good. I get along with her very well. last night she took us to a great dinner at a well known (to foodies) restaurant in St. Paul. A rare visit to the culinary stratosphere.

Gen is a political junkie, so we have had the Democratic presidential debate on for the last couple hours. Very low signal-to-noise ratio.
