Tammy and I went to A Real Pain tonight. I thought it was fine and a bit boring. The reviews say it is “powerfully funny” which I didn’t get at all. It also seemed odd that [Kieran Culkin](Kieran Culkin)’s character behavior seemed so similar to Roman Roy. 🤷♂️
Dig the cool display design for the Minnesota Tekne Awards stage. Fun to see the displays in a non-traditional layout that is connected to the imagery.
Wrapping up Growth Summit #TeamSPS did a Give Back event where we assembled 1,000 SolarBuddy lights. Impact 4 Good led the team through the exercise. The lights were pretty simple to assemble yet cool to see how they functioned.
Incredible morning building connections at SPS Growth Summit! Incredible keynote from Riaz Meghji! So much great energy and talent as we continue to grow the world’s retail network.#TeamSPS
Last night we finished watching Season 7 of Young Sheldon. We watched this show mostly as a family, except Mazie mostly being off to college. It didn’t warm to me right away, which is true for most TV shows. But over time I came to really like it. Will miss these characters!
Went out for a walk and claimed the Veterans Day Challenge badge in Apple Health.
We saw Tina Schlieske’s Birthday Show at The Dakota and it was incredible! She was joined by her sister Laura and they hit a ton of great songs and pulled in a bunch of covers too. It got so fired up by the end that people were standing up and dancing, at a jazz club, and she sang from a table! 🔥
