My new favorite solo lunch spot: #taonaturalfoods. I feel virtuous after a delicious plate of veggies and brown rice.

Walked to Downtown Target to start and almost complete Christmas shopping: gift cards for mail carrier, etc.

Garlic carrots on coffee beans currently slow-cooking in the oven. Lynne, I’m trusting you. #splendidtable

Assembled 2 LEGO construction kits including instructions for the nephews. They helped design the car last weekend.

Good weather today for hanging lights outside. Replaced 19 bulbs. We’ll switch the lights on closer to the Holidays.

Black Friday: A good day to cycle over to #wedgecoop for groceries.

Cooked Thanksgiving dinner: braised turkey, stuffing, the works. Great company. Now the easy bit: washing dishes.

Walked round Lake Calhoun today. Watched geese ready to escape from encroaching ice.

Upgraded a tablet to KitKat (a breeze) and a desktop to Windows 8.1 (printer was a challenge).

Nodded to Minerva on my way into Minneapolis Central Library today.

This weekend I’ve been doing my best to be in loco parentis. We had a blast.

Deafened everybody with the crossing bell, rode a real caboose, played with model trains. So did the boys.

Willow on running route today. Heard otherworldy squeaks when the breeze shifted ice forming on Lake of the Isles.

6-legged walker, Ver. 1. (Ver. 2 = tuning, symmetry.) Thank you @isogawastudio sensei.

Foraged for essential ingredient for the holidays at Lunds, Uptown. Pie crust will be from scratch–thanks, Dwight.

Peeked at a demo cardiac catheterization lab after discussing some of the data that goes through a facility like this.
