Cycled downtown to pick up meds. Before cycling back, looked up at the Foshay Tower (1929) framed by buildings of the IDS Center (1972). The Foshay was the tallest building in Minneapolis at 447 ft (607 ft including the antenna mast) until the IDS Tower (792 ft) was built.

Angels Unawares
Reminded of our common humanity by this bronze, “Angels Unawares,” at the Minneapolis Basilica. “Be welcoming to strangers, many have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2. Too often, statues celebrate leaders who’ve trampled on the humanity of folk.
Phones on a Sound Barrier
“Discovered” several sights on a cycle ride, including guerrilla art on the back of a freeway sound barrier. Okay, so no one’s answeringWell, can’t you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longerOh, I’ll just sit tightIn shadows of the nightLet it ring for evermore, oh whoaYeah, yeah, yeah
Something I no Longer Take for Granted
Shared a room with the full Minnesota Orchestra, something I no longer take for granted.
Coffee with an Earworm
On a random cycle ride, a pitstop for coffee came with an earworm.
Normal Life Returning
It was good to see the Guthrie Theater coming back to life. We’ll order season tickets when they go on sale in August.

Cycled past places shaped by function in an industrial area of North Minneapolis.

One Year Later
On my cycle ride: one year later.
Nature’s Hand
I like to cycle through this yard in Northeast Minneapolis, behind the Casket Arts Building, and observe the creative process. The juxtaposition of works in process and abandoned always intrigues me, especially when Mother Nature adds serendipity in the form of a large puddle.
