Microblog

Spent most of the morning chatting over coffee and chocolate croissants.

Cycled the lakes and Mississippi this morning before the welcome rain on the skylight turned the world Impressionist.

My shopping cart today at #wedgecoop. The best time of year for produce: everything is local (Minnesota, Wisconsin).

One of my favorite sights on Lake Minnetonka, enjoyed during a late lunch/early dinner while out cycling today.

Crossed “clean the garage” off my to-do list.

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.
