Painting Beatrix’s room.

Antique White is the color of her teenage rebellion.


In general this spring/summer, I’ve worn a polo shirt and shorts almost every day with few exceptions (generally if doing sweaty work I throw on t-shirt). After years of feeling like I should, I believe I’ve settled into a “personal uniform” for the summer at least.

My favorite head scratcher in a while…

My wife owns 50% of our business.

I own 50% of our business.

The city of Saint Paul has a Cert preference for Minority and Women majority owned businesses.

We can’t sign up because neither of us has the majority.
