A dozen friends and family gathered this morning for brunch at the Lowbrow on Nicollet near 43rd in Minneapolis to celebrate the 24th birthday of Maxwell Tong, our grandson and software developer at a world-famous micro-grid firm (We're so proud of his new job we had to slip that in). Aunts and friends, et al, were there, hoping the best in the years to come. Gifts were opened and well-wishes read. There's more party this afternoon. When you're young you're good for a full day.
