It’s Slippery Out There
It is slippery out there: fell backwards, blanked out, got a concussion, felt really punk. I’m now back home, grateful for the lovely people at Methodist Hospital. This time next year we plan to be far away, in a Southern Hemisphere summer.
Three-Day Bone Broth
Walked home, avoiding puddles, with ingredients from an Asian supermarket. Most Americans would throw out some ingredients, but I’ll use them for three days of slow cooking a chicken bone broth, then carnitas, then a pork bone broth. We are not in a hurry.
Lake Walk
Snow accumulated as we walked around Lake of the Isles.
Trespassing on a Rail Bridge
Walked across the Mississippi from Nicollet Island on this 1893 Burlington Northern Santa Fe bridge, watching for freight trains, Northstar commuter trains, and cops. We then reversed course back across the bridge to avoid getting stuck in a narrow gap in a fence.

Keeping the Faith Through the Arts
During the last four years, while some in power denied basic, decent human values, the Arts have helped me keep the faith. Here’s some examples from my microblog.
Old-Postcards Walks
To add interest to winter walks, started to add pins, linked to old postcards, to an interactive map.
International Cuisine
Traveled to Japan via Hawaii with Spam musubi for lunch: sushi rice with rice vinegar, fried Spam with a shoyu/sherry glaze, nori, and sprinkles of furikake. The journey started in Austin, Minnesota, also known as “Spam Town USA,” home of Hormel
Short Presidency, Short Street
Included NE Harrison Street on today’s walk, named after the American President who spent the shortest time in office (31 days). Hoping a new record is established between now and noon on January 20.
