So instead of writing about where I've been, when, and with whom, I'll plug a movie I recently watched. 16 to Life replaced The Music Man as the movie I'd recommend as a introduction to Iowa. Bonus points include:
1) The main character kept making me think of ijenn.
2) Proof that Iowa has hills (yes, it was filmed in Iowa).
For the record --- "making me think of ijenn" does NOT equal "is exactly like ijenn." I think it was something about her facial expressions, but really, who knows.
A random photo from the summer is below. It makes me feel a little better about not following through on my resolution to post at least once a month.
