i began the day in Ankeny, Iowa, at my hotel, the days inn. i like how there isn't much to do on the final day in town. there is have breakfast, check out of the hotel, and get on the road. it is nice having a continental breakfast at the hotel, one less meal to find each day. i have this in mind when i choose hotels to stay at. i am thankful i didn't hit the road right after breakfast, though. the CBS morning news had a segment about actor-comedian martin short. i mainly knew him as the third of the 'three amigos', not as well-known as the other two. when i made it back to the twin cities in the mid-afternoon, i dropped off some things at home. then i went to Robbinsdale and first stopped at the dollar tree. a previous visit for a meetup event led me to finding out there was aim toothpaste there, it can be hard to find. i bought a tube of it there. then i went to the McDonald's and had some ice cream. i also went to the Aldi near me for groceries. i decided to use the rental car as long as i could and then returned it just minutes before it was due, in the evening. notable from the drive home was the music, as usual. i like having it on when i am in the car. there was a movie song, 'Flashdance, what a feeling'. i liked the line 'take your passion, make it happen'. i often speak of passion, it was absent from my life for a while, then i found it in performing. others i heard were 'angel' by shaggy, and 'memories' by maroon 5. both of those still work for me.
