Walked the skyways of downtown St. Paul. Ventured outside briefly to admire the Winter Carnival ice sculptures at Rice Park.

Sabino Canyon Recreation Area
Hiked in the Santa Catalina Mountains above Tucson to a height where fewer cacti roam. Sabino Canyon Recreation Area.
Tucson on Foot, Bike, and Streetcar
Explored Tucson on foot, bike, and streetcar.
Coffees by a Fire
Walked with a friend through the University of Minnesota East Bank campus. Warmed up with coffees in a cafe with an actual wood-burning fire.
The Antithesis of Fast Fashion
Wallked the Minneapolis Skyways to avoid frostbite. At a small tailoring business, Dwight dropped off a much-loved, 25-year-old shirt for a $6 repair: the antithesis of fast fashion.
Moody Mississippi
It warmed up sufficiently to comfortably walk outside. The reflection in the icy Mississippi reminded me of a moody Turner painting.
New Year’s Day Tradition
Our New Year’s Day tradition is a long walk and a bar lunch. With subzero weather all day we achieved one out of two. Maxwell’s is our local, a chilly two-block walk.
Socially Distanced Spin
It was -6°F outside when I went downstairs for a socially distanced spin.
Public Service Building
Included the Minneapolis Skyway in my walk to escape cold and ice. Finally got to see inside the new Minneapolis Public Service Building. I’ve previously admired the exterior, so it was good to walk through the beautifully designed interior, including this skyway section.
Icy Sidewalks
Abandoned my walk on icy sidewalks; docked my walking shoes for the rest of the day.
