Michigan Wolverine in MN. Tsundoku master. Civil litigation & appeals, mostly insurance coverage related. Here for law, writing, books, Irish whiskey, Man City & Minnesota United, and cute dog and cat pics, not necessarily in that order.

Love the subdued palette of late autumn.

After almost 18 months without a dog, we’ve made the leap again.

Hard to pick what the best part of the Irish Fair was today but Border Collies make everything better.

Just us and the crows out enjoying the heat of the evening. Sorry to any recent transplants to Minnesota who may not have realized just how hot and humid Minnesota can get in the summer.

How is it only Wednesday?

This week (so far) calls for some self care in the form of Italian food, Amaro Manhattans, and Aperol spritzes.

We just received our copy of Lawless by @leahlitman.bsky.social and cannot wait to dive in.

It’s been a long year of a week so I’m trying a new gin to kick off the weekend.
An appropriately sized martini with a new-to-me gin and orange twist on a wooden end table next to a wooden framed window with wooden slat blinds looking out on a rainy, cool May Day in MN.

Nice turn out of the Minnesota bar for the National Law Day of Action in support of the rule of law. Thanks to the MSBA, HCBA, and RCBA for organizing and to retired Justice Chutich for leading us in retaking the attorney’s oath.

There is so much crazy right now. Jazz and a martini seem to be a good escape for the evening.

Today is full of disappointment. First mosquito of the season. At least I can smack a mosquito.
The first mosquito of 2025 on my wrist. Sadly, in my attempt to photograph it, I delayed brushing it away and it bit me. No one can say I don’t suffer for my art.

74 degrees in March in Minnesota calls for a beer on the patio. Being let down (again) by spineless Senate Dems means that whiskey is not far behind.
Screenshot of the Minneapolis temps, where we set a record high of 75 and were massively let down by Senate Democrats who bent the knee. An IPA and a brown ale in M22 glasses on a patio table on March 14 in Minnesota where the unwritten law is that you have to enjoy a 70-degree day in March in shorts with a beverage outside, especially if you got f-ed over by Senate Democrats who bent the knee. Fuck you Gary Peters and your spineless coward colleagues. Two cans of beer from Urban Growler, a woman-owned, inclusive brewery in St. Paul. The cans, specifically UG’s Tornado Drill IPA and Noble Knight English Ale, are on a kitchen island counter next to beer glasses filled with the amber and brown liquids. As one does in Minnesota, these beers will be enjoyed outside on the patio on a 74 degree afternoon in March.

Mother Nature really came through this evening.
A frozen Minnesota lake at sunset with the tree-surrounded shoreline mostly in shadow and the ice a darker blue shade with layers of gray/blue clouds over a sunset that ranges from purple to red to pink to orange and yellow.
