After years of near constant urging and the occasional threat to duct tape me to a chair and force me, I finally started watching Ted Lasso tonight.

Hopefully, within a few more episodes I’ll be welcomed back into the human race again.

I’d worry about my kid at college but she’s spending her day off before classes hanging out in NYC seeing Little Shop of Horrors off-B’way 4th row center so…

My wife would like me to add “Day drinking with friends” to our Small Project Week list since, that’s what we did in the middle of various achievements today.

Baby’s first splurge.

How many of you have friends with full movie theaters in their basements? One’s that have a full concessions stand and arcade? One’s that just open up the claw machine when you fail on your umpteenth attempt. One’s that feed you and put you up for the night graciously?

We do.

And we are so blessed.

Here we are right before we left home. Car packed full.

Stopped in Madison, WI to see friends.

Next stop, Columbus, OH area to see more dear friends.

Tomorrow, SLC!

It’s all happening.

Today’s the day.

It’s all happening…

We’re packing up the car and Beatrix and I will begin our journey east. If you know anyone at Sarah Lawrence College, let them know that Beatrix is coming and she has… Thoughts.

College is a great place to have those.

Surprised how absolutely crushed I am by the passing of Dolly Parton. A true legend and beautiful soul. What a gift she gave us all, not just in music but how to handle fame with grace, humor, and humility.

It’d be kinda chic if someone would explain this most recent word meme to me and where it came from because it sure is everywhere and I feel kinda old for not having any idea why.

I just signed up to attend Camp Curious and will be proposing a session to lead there. MN area folks should consider coming. It’ll be fun.

I often wonder if anyone picks up on the many quotes from Almost Famous I sprinkle into most days.

Coffee and Kindness.

When I get my life back in order in a few weeks here I’d like to see if I can organize a Twin Cities/MN Micro.blog meetup. I’d like to put some IRL faces to the folks here.

A perfect pairing…

Full stack.

An absolutely gorgeous crescent moon tonight.

Question for the Mac Geeks: Is there any way to tell what flavor of Mac OS the M5 Air I just bought is running? I want to know exactly how soon I should bother opening the box.

My highly portable mini mobile setup.

So, I broke down and bought an M5 MacBook Air today. Here’s the deal:

Costco has the 10CPU/10GPU 16GB/1TB model for $1149 (price good until 7/12). They will be selling at that price until out of stock. I bought the last one at my location.

From Apple that model is $1599.

Seemed a no brainer.

Tonight’s culture…

Marched in a 4th of July Parade with The Mayor and then picked up some books at that neighborhood’s bookshop for a family book club situation we’re planning.

Cocktail, Cocktail, Mocktail.

I get to knock an item off my bucket list today. It’s not a huge one but I’m super excited about it.
