Posted Inauguration Day 2017.

Toured the newly restored Minnesota State Capitol.

Stocked up for the last time on American-made tee shirts at American Apparel before they end US production.

It’s a drippy day……January thaw…My nose (a cold). Two reasons to stretch out on the couch, under my blankie.

Breaded eggplant awaiting hot oil. I’ve previously posted a method that ensures eggplant always turns out well.

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.
