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).

Cycled across a bridge across a gorge near Hastings, Minnesota. Stopped to view a waterfall, an abandoned mill, and tinges of Fall colors.

Cycled past converging lines.

Posted The Consequences of Being Too Paperless.

Replaced our expensive-to-maintain 2003 BMW 3 Series with a cheaper, better car: a 2017 Honda Fit. Our 1996 Honda Civic still runs great.

Attacked my favorite cake with a knife. Marzipan, sponge, raspberry jam, whipped cream, almond flakes: life’s good.

Walked around three lakes with a friend. The little red tricycle was parked beside the trail, no child in sight.

Cycled to the State Fair where we watched a Princess Kay of the Milky Way contestant being sculpted in butter in a refrigerated booth.

Our furnace room has never looked lovelier.
