Under the Gaze of a Playwright
Stocked up at the Mill City Farmers Market under the watchful eye of Anton Chekhov.
TOTO Demonstration Showroom
On my way to Haneda HND for my flight home, popped into TOTO’s Tokyo “demonstration showroom,” occupying two floors high up in a Tokyo tower. For good, practical reasons, most Japanese have TOTO’s washlets in their homes; we’re having them in our new home
Anglepoise Lamps
Welcomed UK-designed and built Anglepoise lamps into our home. They first came out in 1935. I studied with one in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. This is new, essentially the 1970’s model with a twist: a Mondrian/De Stihl-inspired paint job.
Sneak Peek at Our New Home
Took a sneak peek at our new home. We move in, mid January.
Fresh Ramen Noodles
The maneki-neko (beckoning cat) blessed my bicycle helmet while I waited for fresh ramen noodles at Tori 44 in North Minneapolis. I’ll cook some and freeze some.
20% Senior Discount on Seafood
Got my Tuesdays-only 20% senior discount at Coastal Seafoods. They have the freshest seafood: most of their business is wholesale to restaurants and supermarkets.
Wheel of Discounts
Dwight gave the wheel a spin, and we got a 15% discount at Rosenthal Furniture, downtown Minneapolis.
