The big day is here!

The countdown is on to 12:01 and Lake Waconia is buzzing with energy as we prepare for the Governor's Opener.

The media are in town keeping me busy.

I spoke with KSTP 5's Rusty Gatenby this morning just after 6 am. Don't worry - I didn't give away my secret spot.

Check out my sunrise interview with Brian Piatt (around the 7:18 mark for those of you in a hurry).

And last but not least here's the one and only Travis Frank, my good friend who will be guiding Gov. Dayton, doing what he does second best. (Travis' Facebook is here.)
