City of Lakes. Rather nimble. Dabbler. Very handsome. Bus driver instructor, non-practicing librarian. God-damned socialist.
I’m pretty sure that the amount of alcohol it takes to relax my brain and my shoulders is an indication that I should talk to someone… yet, I’m 100% sure that if I lived in any other civilized place, I’d be totally fine

I'll be cheering for the Canadian team (though I might not watch much of the Series) in the hope that a Canadian citizen will see me doing so and adopt me.

I came to Bloomington to eat chilitos and water my mom’s plants… and I’m all out of chilitos

curmudgeon complaint of the day:

the phrase “on a dime,” a prepositional phrase (that works as an adverb) describing a tight space, very quickly, right on time… somehow became just the noun “dime,” a football thrown very well, or the throw itself

WTH, stoopid football talkers

I just spent around two hours with my (deceased) cousin’s children on Facetime. I used to love kids- went to school to be a teacher, was a camp counselor, etc.
One of them calls me sometimes, and I’m not the same guy I was, but I remember the joy of children. I’m glad they call.
They’re great kids

shit, listen…

I hate, really *do not like* talking on the phone

my nephew, 22, kept me on the line for over two hours this evening

the dude is solid; he doesn’t understand how forward-thinking he is (given the current state of… us)

he’s back in Duluth and they’re lucky to have him

Neither I, nor anyone who knows me, would tell you I’m good at being an adult. I am an adequate adult and I feel young until I go to my mailbox on days like this one.

ah, jeez... I just saw that it's NNO and I like my neighbors and the weather isn't insanely hot and... here I am with chicken in the oven and two loads of laundry in the washer downstairs so happy Same-as-it-(almost)-ever-was Night In for this kid, I guess

I spent the afternoon/evening with my mom and my ex-gf (obvsly, we’re cool). Mom had a gallstone blocking her bile duct and holy shit, does that cause a lot of trouble. Her liver function numbers need to improve, then she can go home. Fingers crossed.

why does the emergency announcement on the radio sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher in a bunker? Yes, I’m in a Lyft and the next song on KS95 was pure garbage

I’m @first-avenue.com for Big Star Quintet and it’s kind of a perfect night here… busy, but not packed to the point of… eh… I like my space

Big news!

I went to magical Mahtomedi this evening

jebus... I followed some kind of mass-follow account on this thing and I have to keep unfollowing those stupid one-line-of-unfunny accounts... (to be fair, did I have one too many pours of delicious rye this evening?)

it’s been a little while since I sang the praises of Lilac Vegetal… I just shaved and I smell fantastic

listen. I'm just going to go over there and resume re-watching Archer for the hundredth time (or whatever)

Dear Apple Music. I've long been aware that your algorithm is shittier than a woman I dated who had legit medical issues... and seriously... why in the hell did you think, based on my listening history, that I would ever want to hear Billy Joel, especially "Uptown Girl??????" Fix yourself!

So much U.S. history; never mind world history. I want to know everything. Every time I approach a new subject and look into it, it confirms my biases- the struggle of the working people, the poor...

at 56, I’m fully aware that my looks are/look is not for everyone… so when a lovely woman smiled and waved at me from two lanes over at a stop light this evening, it made me smile like I was 26 again… thx, pretty lady

I hope everyone had a great Pride weekend in Mpls (and elsewhere); too hot and humid for me to get out, so good on you if you can roll with that shit
