Looking forward to the Midwest

Yesterday Andrew Sullivan published a picture of Lawrence, Kansas, in his "View from Your Window" series.

It's a typical light snow scene that looks very much like certain snowfalls I remember from Minnesota and made me very nostalgic for a good Minnesota winter.

Fortunately, I'll be in the Midwest for a full week. A few nights on Madeline Island in Lake Superior (for New Year's actually) and then a few days in Minnesota. Since the Iowa Caucus is on the 3rd this year, I'll actually be just a state away for the big day.

Maybe I should haul an Obama sign down there and wave it around for the day.
