It’s snowing!
(Pardon my excitement, but it’s the first snow I’ve seen all year. I was in Green Bay when the Twin Cities received their first inch or two–all I got was rain.)

Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus
The Beatles can step aside; America’s largest Jesus is taking the stage. The 62-foot Jesus towers over Interstate 75 in Monroe, Ohio, a “beacon of hope and salvation” erected by the Solid Rock Church.
You never thought you’d see headlines like these:
Giant Jesus makes many stop
Most come to praise 62-foot Jesus sculpture on I-75
Six-story statue of Jesus greets drivers on I-75
And how about some others?
Biggest Jesus Ever
Volkswagen Crushed By Christ …
Now There’s a Headline!
Brains on Overdrive
I haven’t done much pondering lately. I’ve been rather busy. Writing a novel, listening to U2, eating turkey, posting things like this. It’s been hard to just sit down and think.
Skinny Tie Day
The Monkey Outta Nowhere world headquarters in St. Paul, Minn. had skinny tie day today. All employees were encouraged to wear a skinny tie in an effort to boost company-wide morale.
The gimmick proved to be popular with most employees and could see a return. It’s not clear if skinny tie day will spread to other businesses, but prospects are good.
Monkey Wrote a Novel
It’s with great honor and a bit of pride that congratulate our very own Head Monkey, Kevin D. Hendricks, for writing a novel. Kevin tackled the 50,000-word novel last month as part of National Novel Writing Month, joining almost 6,000 other winners from around the world.
Kevin managed to complete his first novel in a mere 20 days, thanks to an outpouring of support and lots of caffiene. He’s currently copyediting the novel for a quick and dirty self-publishing run (available soon from Cafepress), and plans to pursue a more thorough edit and possible publication in the future. For now the unedited version of the novel is available online.
