Coleman concedes Senate race; Pawlenty to sign certificate | Minnesota Public Radio NewsQ - Coleman concedes! Woohoo! Finally, we can be fully represented. I may not think Franken will be a perfect senator (who could be, in this day an age?), but at least he is a senator.

Link dump for June 12th, 2009 through June 30th, 2009:

• Senate recount: After unanimous ruling for Franken, attention shifts to Pawlenty — and Coleman - Finally, a ruling. But no real resolution, since the supremes didn't actually tell Pawlenty to issue the certificate. Oh well… We've waited this long, right?
• Grilled Cheesecake: A Sweet Take on a Classic Sandwich - Or, as I'd like to think of it, a heart-attack sandwich. Of course, I'd also like to think of it as delicious. But I would never have more than one bite.
• Ten Movies to Watch Instead of Star Trek - "…check out some movies that tackled science fiction just as well as the new Trek (and often better)."
  A good list of flicks that I would definitely prefer to watch instead of the new Trek. I know I'm in the minority amongst my friends as far as that goes (and probably the only one who hasn't seen it so far). But there you go. At least it's snark you can laugh along to.

Here are a few shots I took before and after our work on the labyrinth on Saturday.

Eli took a couple of shots of what it looked like after we finished work on Sunday. We’ve got one full “line” done, so that it’s fully bricked all the way around the labyrinth, up through the priestess point and around the center. We have the inner lines left, the demarcate the pathways. And we’re super swamped so I’m not sure when they’ll get done. So for now we have a labyrinth that is half rope and half brick. But I love it, all the same!
