My former colleague and friend, Karen, emailed me today. We used to work together in the MS Hardware design group, but she moved back to Minnesota a couple of years ago to work at General Mills. She's dating someone there now and they seem to be having a good time. From the pictures she sends me, it seems like they're big on outdoor activities. Those things sound fun to me, but I am too lazy to actually do them 99% of the time. Maybe someday I'll actually do outdoor stuff more often.
