My view for the next 12 hours, en route to Tokyo Haneda.

Posted Beyond the Narrow Road to the Deep North.

Used my senior stored value transit card for the first time.

We listened to Meryl Streep singing with gusto.

Today was a good day to Google “senior discounts.”

Walked by the Mississippi on a newly reopened trail. It took two years to stabilize this small section of bank.

I averted my eyes and looked towards Lake of the Isles whenever I saw tinges of Fall colors in the trees.

Peered between expensive homes as I tried to follow Minnehaha Creek through suburbs St. Louis Park and Edina.

Dinner at the Dakota with Jane Monheit and Nicholas Payton.

Posted Fictional Hokkaido.

Walked around the State Fair.

My distaste for long lines exceeds my taste for ice cream. I kept walking.

Walked down a street in our neighborhood I’ve never walked down before. It was a short street.

Took my new walking shoes on their inaugural urban hike.

Posted Tracing a Victorian Woman’s Hokkaido Journey. She used horses, I’ll use rail.

Walked past a stock exterior for a 1970’s sitcom shot in Los Angeles. The Mary Tyler Moore house, on sale yet again.
