Theater of the Absurd
For some unknown reason, which I will speculate about later in this post, fragments of an absurd dialog from a play have been floating around in my head.

Japanese Mural
On my cycle ride through Nordeast Minneapolis, stopped to enjoy this mural by Japanese artist Yuya Negishi.

On my walk through a University of Minnesota campus: three steel lattice beams set in concrete. I recall these were removed during a remodel, and the contractor got permission to create this installation. For some reason, it’s not included in the university’s list of public art.
Fresh Snow on I-Beams
Looked out at the Molecule sculpture in Gold Medal Park: bright red I-beams, detailed with a layer of fresh snow, lit by the rising morning sun.
Live Orchestra
Tonight we have front row seats for a live Minnesota Orchestra performance. In different times, we’d be at Orchestra Hall.
