Today: The annual replacement of spices more than a year old. Total cost: $5.09.

Walked around three Minneapolis lakes.

Our New Year’s Eve tradition: dinner with friends at Signature Café.

Shoveled, then walked on fresh snow.

Walked past and through former industrial buildings.

Posted Immersion Blender.

Walked on fresh snow.

We enjoyed marzipan-topped, Armagnac-soaked fruit cake: Christmas cake made by a friend visiting from the UK.

Walked past a professionally decorated Christmas tree on my way to show my passport to prove I-9 work eligibility.

Walked past a sad Christmas tree, then peed in a cup as part of a background check.

I snarfed down a pasty from this food truck. The pasty was excellent, but not quite authentic: it was full of meat.

The car got fixed, I got a walletectomy.

Walked through the IDS Center’s Crystal Court, downtown Minneapolis, on the way to join a friend for a walk.

Rode seven buses going about my business today.

Defiantly bright on a drippy day: wet berries on our sycamore.
