I have a batch of books to donate to a teacher...mostly around 4th grade level (Bad Guys, Dog Man, Wimpy Kid, Last Kids on Earth).

Contributing in honor of Naomi's work and because I believe Davis's empathetic ear is what Minneapolis needs most right now (I am currently Davis/Jazz/Fateh).

Outside of Mayor, I feel the Ward 7 council race will have the most impact on the future of Minneapolis.

Katie Cashman represents the future of DFL politics: young, pragmatic, and consistently present for her constituents.

Happy birthday, Katie! Join me in donating if you have the means.

Parking in crisis!
The West Fulton Neighborhood is receiving once in a century street improvements, so of course someone ilegally dropped a flier in my mailbox about the potential loss of some street parking spaces.

Gary seems to like the snow, but he hates having his paws wiped when he comes back in. Quite a dog dilemma.

Measured Gary today. Officially 2 cushions long.

Gary really dislikes having his feet wiped. We're in a standoff.

I got a neat sweatshirt in the mail today!

Gary decided he needs to be in my line of vision at all times.

Secured tickets to Dinner in America with director Adam Rehmeier. Absolutely my favorite movie discovery this year (also check out Snack Shack by the same director).

The (member free) Under the Rug show at the Entry might be my favorite concert of the year...

Listened to a lot of @idlesband.bsky.social early in the year and @undertherugmusic.bsky.social late with Lissie a constant throughout.
