Three months of bonus time today and I can legally drive again (in theory)

Visited my friends across the street this morning

At some point, your body must decide it would rather sleep than cough, right?

Not living in the 218 now, but really have to laugh at the 612ers talking about the “cold”

Some days, it’s the little things: washing the sicky bedsheets, vacuuming up the dust and germs, organizing the medicines

Duuuuuuuubs!

Full speed ahead, Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead!

Congrats to Jordan Wakely for setting a new Arrowhead 135 course record – 11:43:00 is amazing

This one looked iffy at first, but we got ‘em in the end

Still amazes me when Nevada casinos make more money off of baccarat than blackjack ($95 million in January)

Finally got to set up and test a bunch of things on the new(ish) laptop – still my best overall tech tool

Gotta love shuffle play: Kendrick into Christopher Cross into Regina Spektor

These screen time reports are shaming me back to the workout room

Thanks, Granny (and thanks @rstanzel for the last minute plans)

Nice job @Timberwolves on Prince Night – loved all the deep tracks

Just realized I don’t think I’ve seen a concert at First Avenue since before my hospital stay (Liz Phair on 9/15/18?)

And just like that, we have entered another Fake Spring

Always great to visit with my friends at Atlanta’s AMB Sports + Entertainment (even if they did break our WiFi record)

Love going to @efetusmpls and discovering new albums by groups I like that I didn’t know were out

Didn’t realize @RandolphCarbone reused the old wood paneling – love it

I can’t watch the 15th hole at Hazeltine without thinking of Redpath’s shot through the pilot’s window 🙂

New “silver” tees at Baker (to match my hair) – shot a 90 with one legit birdie

Happy last day of 49, CK ❤️

Guess who’s staging @SaintDinette tonight?

Nirvana closing out their MTV Unplugged album with that version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night is brilliant

Landmark occasion? Received my first senior discount :-/

Interesting changes at Wirth on the back nine – new 12th is weird; much better 18th

I was sure I could beat the storm home, but I was very, very wrong

The Twins had Jack White, but the Saints made the most of their walk-off grand slam opportunity ⚾️

PSA: the new updates to the iOS WordPress app have been wreaking havoc on my media library

Welcome to State Fair season in Minnesota

My North Shore playlist is heavy with Turtles/DMW, Charlie, Frankie, Koskinen, Pines and the Cactus Blossoms

This album artwork came up on my screen for Lutsen by Dead Man Winter and now I’m ready for snow

Fantastic interview and insight on the restaurant business in Minnesota (plus some handsome shots of the Nive Man)

Perfect weather for the first day of the fair

I love this picture so much: 15 whole cents!

Why is the @WordPress media library still so bad at image orientation when uploading?

Mood.

Treasure Island Passport Club has a new “X-Plus” tier for 400K+ points. One point = $5 slot play. Do the math…

Perfect early morning round down at Sand Creek (and I shot an 87)

Still a little bitter that Saint Paul lost the original 612 to Minneapolis

That would be our new GM Bill Guerin throwing out the first pitch in Lowertown tonight

You get a grand slam and *you* get a grand slam

Congratulations to your 2019 American Association Champions @StPaulSaints

Didn’t expect that outcome – better start picking out the games with kid one and two

I must be in the front row

Safely from Minnesota to Seattle – next, the Pacific

She made it safely for the big Hawaii 5-0 celebration

Remember when they had smoking sections on airplanes and two-engine jets across the Pacific was just crazy talk? #757-200

So it appears that Pineapple Crush has gone the way of the dodo bird

It’s so strange having “evening” games like this World Series matchup on TV here at 2pm

Mama’s Fish House was the most Hawaii thing ever – will write a full post later

Golf in Hawaii is overly expensive, humid and very, very pretty

Never up early enough for sunrise, but kept missing sunset (until tonight)

The Ritz-Carlton Burger Shack is also peak Hawaii

Last full day of vacation. Took a three mile walk along the beach and found my favorite flowers

World-famous Halloween party like five miles away and I’m perfectly fine right here

Good morning, Chicago

This week I learned about the 4am bars in Chicago

Big thanks to Tim and Moira for sharing their time and expertise this week

Two games in four days – who has Monday Night Football?

Why I still buy CDs: “You have already authorized five computers”

With Interlachen, Northland and WBYC, I thought Ross was my #1, but there is a strong case to be made for MacKenzie

Well, that was quite lovely (and good thing they added Minnesota theaters, since we got a shout-out for the St. Paul show)

The new Lapzilla is a great machine, but I’m forever spoiled by the Air

I’ve been fighting a cold and have been tied up with family and work issues, but I finally figured out some web stuff and it feels great

Watched Brittany Runs a Marathon yesterday and drove down Summit today, so I pretty much have the bug again

Wanted to love it, but to me Luke, Leia, Han, Darth and R2-D2 > Finn, Rey, Poe, Kylo and BB-8
