After 30 minutes in the cursed A-C line, registration table finally comes into view. It’s 10:43 and we aren’t starting “just yet,” we’re told. “The end is near.” And seating assignment on my badge is not consistent with the signs on chairs. Sergeant at Arms said to follow the badge. Minneapolis DFL

Back to work today, but we had an amazing 6 days in the BWCAW. The moose calf is just days old.

Look what showed up in my work email junk folder today! I have never given the DFL my work email. (I work for a 501(c)(3) so political emails are problematic.) So what mailing list did Conrad buy for his new #Minneapolis Park Board campaign? #Mpls

No. It’s open from Father Hennepin park to about 2/3 of the way across toward downtown. But it’s closed on the downtown end.

At long last, Nigel earned his NW2! One of only 10 dogs to qualify, and he earned a P in containers, which had a sub-50% pass rate. #NWAddicts #NACSWAddicts #DogsofBlueSky

Nigel showing off his signature sit. Like any respectable #Havanese, he prefers to have his butt up high. #dogsofbluesky #pets

Really? The “feels like” temperature can be warmer than the actual temperature? I understand if it’s warm enough you can get a convection oven effect. But since when can 10F feel like 13F? #weather #minnesota #winter

Nigel was not the most enthusiastic skijorer this morning but he enjoyed being out in the snow. We have two races coming up so we have to work on our training! #havanese #dogsofbluesky #skijor #sugarbush #tofte

A magical morning on the trails near Tofte MN. Tracks w/a light dusting of snow, light flakes coming down. Occasionally a breeze dislodged clumps from branches overhead, a lovely snow-globe. Nigel was a champ, except when he could no longer track his buddy, who had gone ahead for a longer ski.
