School’s out for the Holidays! Walked home from my Friday gig past a melting snowman with a face mask.

El Mesias
Tonight at Orchestra Hall: A “bilingual Spanish-English cross-cultural combination” of Handel’s Messiah and Navidad Nuestra, a cantata by Argentinian composer Ariel Ramírez. We’re reminded the Holy Family were refugees. “Pretty child don’t cry my love / we will arrive at a better land.”
Sensory Treat
Mailed Christmas cards: a good reason to walk through the lovely Art Deco lobby of the downtown Post Office.
The Usual
Every week or two we feel lazy, so we head over to our local for dinner. Rachael and Summit for him, Reuben and Surly Furious for me, both with cole-slaw. Then back home for the semifreddo I made for his birthday. It goes well on top of beer… I hope.
Today’s Workout
Let the festivities begin. Thanksgiving 2022.
Winter Preview
This morning’s wake-up view. Time to get out the mittens and down jacket.
SFO Arrival
Upon arrival at San Francisco SFO, an Easter bunny marshalled us through the gate area.
Ice Sauna
On my chilly Minneapolis North Loop walk, with temperatures hovering in the single digits (Fahrenheit), spotted a woman in a bikini walking outside. It took me a few moments to realize she was walking from a wood-fired sauna to an ice sauna.
Ice Elephant
Walked the skyways of downtown St. Paul. Ventured outside briefly to admire the Winter Carnival ice sculptures at Rice Park.
Twelfth Night
12th Night, time to put away our Christmas decorations.
