FYI if you're in the Twin Cities metro area, you should be able to use your library card to get two passes for this exhibit for free via smARTpass. That's a $40 value. Yay libraries!

Every time I see this photo I giggle at the thought that astronaut pulled the ultimate dad move and told the rest of his family that it was just a normal family portrait session and to wear regular clothes only to show up himself in a damn space suit.

Lifting up once more for the “have to sit at my desk all day but would rather read a blog post on proposed changes to the Saint Paul Admin Code than do my job because it’s a Friday and the sun is actually kind of out” crowd.

Talking about the Chicago Pope tonight and how we should’ve had a Minnesota Pope and they would’ve been constantly apologizing. And someone said “yeah, they’d be the Ope”

A year or so ago old friends tried to get the dudes back together after years of having kids and pulling away. It grew to folks beyond old college buds. But its really nice having a monthly night blocked out on my calendar for the boyz back in town

Went to Company Bar (in Petit Leon space) and it was top notch. Cocktails were $12-14.

If you're a close reader of Saint Paul City Council meeting agendas, as I know millions are, you'll have seen that our proposed ordinance adding training and reporting requirements related to our separation ordinance has gotten more controversial. I wrote about it here.
