Walked past bleachers for tonight’s Aquatennial Parade. I prefer to walk than to watch people walking.

Nephews ingested unnaturally colored dipped cones. Returned them to Mom covered in fake tattoos and cycling wounds.

Hot, humid day, so made a breeze by cycling from Fort Snelling to St. Paul. Explored Mendota Heights on the way back.

Breakfast at Bread and Pickle on Lake Harriet, then continued cycling past the receding floodwaters of Minnehaha Creek.

A run, gardening, lunch with a friend in our kitchen, a nap, reading, cycle to Victory 44 for good eats. A good day.

Fed my inner child: some Lego Technic pieces arrived in the mail. My nephews *might* get these in 2 or 3 years.

At the end of my cycle ride, bought some crap at Ax-Man Surplus, left a tip, then took the LRT back to Minneapolis.

Did my annual ride to the airport via Fort Snelling State Park. MSP is my favorite Minneapolis place in the winter.

Took the Luce Line from Minneapolis to Wayzata on Lake Minnetonka.

It was too early in the day for All Star hoopla when I cycled past Target Field today.

At Minnehaha Park, on our cycle ride this morning, we passed the annual Norway Day festival.

Visited a LEGO club in a former WW2 bombsight factory. Viewed complex models, and the nephews built vehicles to race.

We have them for two days. We started with them bouncing off the walls.

We resisted the temptation to cycle right up to the counter.

Life, Phase 3: On walk to downtown library, coffee in a real cup, muffin on a real plate, and time to Tweet about it.
