Posted How to Dispose of Unwanted Money.

We’ve lived in the neighborhood for decades, finally we visited the Purcell-Cutts house (now owned by the Minneapolis Institute of Art).

Sorted foreign currencies, mainly coins, I’ve been saving for “the next time I go.” Eight currencies no longer exist.

Walked past the Lake of the Isles skating rink.

Google has decided I work at Methodist Hospital because I go there every weekday. Eight more days and I “retire” from radiation therapy.

Muffin Man at Methodist Hospital bakes the best muffins right on the premises. I succumbed to a frosted carrot cake muffin and a cappuccino.

Snow fell, I walked.

Posted Freakin’ Cheap: Almost Free Travel.

Walked on Lake of the Isles for the first time this winter.

My freezing walk took me past a railroad switch. A propane heater keeps it free of snow and ice.

It was a decidedly German day: lunch at the Black Forest Inn, then the Martin Luther exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Stored our minimalistic Christmas tree in a mailing tube. It’s made from naturally fallen Minnesota timber: see post.

Simple pleasure at Rustica. OK, I admit it, I also had one of their fancy pastries (a pain aux raisins).

Simplified my cyber life: transferred a bunch of Internet domains to Google Domains.

Walked to Uptown to escape to a guilty pleasure, “La La Land”.

Stood on our porch, watching the 2016 sun go down for the last time.
