Explored Nordeast Minneapolis, caloric Central European lunch at Kramarczuk’s Sausage Company, then home for a nap.

Posted about trekking poles and the complications of traveling with them.

Tres leches cake at Midtown Global Market before a business meeting with Allina Health and one of their vendors.

Sunny a.m. = cycling southern Grand Rounds. Grey p.m. with rain in forecast = slow cooking (stock, and carnitas).

Replaced 2 shirts for upcoming trip. I’m hard on shirts: one on, one spare, nightly wash, dry by twisting in a towel.

Cycled, via Eden Prairie, to Normandale College’s Japanese Garden in Bloomington. Three Japanese gardens in one week!

Intermission reflections, Guthrie Theater: Mill City Museum, Mississippi, Stone Arch Bridge.

Pedal seized up, replaced both pedals. If I replace any more parts I won’t be able to claim my bike is 30-years-old.

Paused at origami cranes, Peace Garden, near Lake Harriet, Minneapolis.

Worked today in a former nursing home. It certainly retains many of the elements of its original use.

Cycled to Japanese Garden, Como Park, St. Paul, then posted about St. Paul’s sister city.

Beautiful sunny day. Spent half the day inside, planning flights, hotels, cars and trains in warm places this winter.

Easy to cycle past this at Uptown Art Fair knowing I’d be at #victory44 for dinner where they care about ingredients.

Lunch with a friend who is moving to Atlanta. I’ll miss her, and our regular free-flowing conversations over decades.

Stopped to peek inside the Excelsior Streetcar Line shed on our cycle ride back from Victoria to Hopkins.
