Took photos for an instruction manual for our (almost former) house for the new owners. A stone slab hides this irrigation valve box.

Experimented with lighting in our temporary home to help us figure out what we want in our next home.

Cycled in search of statuary. First stop: Goldy Gopher, mascot for the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities campus.

My bicycle appreciated this thoughtful gesture outside Diamonds Coffee Shoppe in Nordeast Minneapolis.

Faces stared when I walked into the DMV office in the basement of Midtown Exchange to update the address on my driver’s license.

Walked across Downtown through the skyway system, doing my errands, avoiding the rain.

Posted Poms Don’t Tub.

Installed a bike rack on our Fit.

View, first night in our temporary home for the next 18 months: all moved in.

Moved essential supplies to our new, temporary home in the Minneapolis Mill District. We move in tomorrow.

After a morning of manual labor, we revived ourselves with udon, bibimbap, and local brew Sweet Child of Vine.

Posted Minneapolis Bronze Statues.

Cycled with a friend in search of bronze statues. Spotted an appropriately ghostly Mary Tyler Moore, trapped indoors, still tossing her tam.

At the end of our cycle ride, picked up essential supplies at our local liquor store: first time on a Sunday, thanks to a change in the law.

Shades of “Groundhog Day”: it’s Boxing Day… again.

Today was Boxing Day (again).
