My walk today had a point: find mouse doors. I found three.

Looked at 24 bronze sculptures of old Marcy Holmes neighborhood buildings. We then found some of the buildings that are still standing.

Moved between moving images at the Walker Art Center’s extensive “Merce Cunningham: Common Time” exhibition.

Shoveled snow, maybe for the last time this season.

Walked home on fresh snow in daylight after a touching movie and dinner: the first day of Daylight Savings Time.

Photographed circuit breakers: if there’s heavy snow while we’re traveling, we’ll get these turned on to prevent ice dams on our old house.

Assembled ingredients from Scotland, Mexico, and Wisconsin for a fast cook/fast cleanup dinner: everything will roast on a baking tray.

Selected charging gear for my next trip:Type A: USA, Japan, Mainland ChinaType C: Mainland China, South Korea, NetherlandsType G: UAE, UK

The wind whipped up Lake of the Isles, ice was gone, as I ran.

Consumed a cake filled with cream and marzipan after exploring the Turnblad Mansion at the American Swedish Institute.

Our laundry dried at Giant Wash Coin Laundry while I bought groceries at nearby Wedge Co-op.

Completed Federal, Minnesota, and Oregon taxes: first time I’ve filed in two states. A technicality prevented me from filing electronically.

There was no replacement for a failed part in our 22-year-old washer/dryer. Today, we reluctantly bought stacked scratch-and-dent units.

Satisfied my craving for comfort food at moto-i, a sake brewery: bibimbab washed down with local beer, Fulton’s Sweet Child of Vine.

All but two of the fourteen counter stools were occupied when we walked into the tiny Ideal Diner for a mid-morning breakfast.
