Recent concert that I most regret not going to — Bruce Springsteen.
We attempted to solve the Utopia room at Lock & Key Escape Rooms today — alas we didn’t quite get there. It is there hardest room, and we skipped hearing the solution so that we could make a return trip and try again with Mazie there too! 🔒 Room 56!
For fun I added my website to the IndieWeb Webring. 🕸💍 I also added an h-card microformat tucked away in the footer of my site. I styled it not to display but the validator picks it up fine.
My Morning
- Woke up around 5:30a to the chirps of a CO detector telling me the 9V backup battery is low.
- Let Lucky out and then realize a neighbor with two dogs is walking down the alley triggering Lucky to start barking and running around like a crazy animal.
- Get keys to run an errand and accidentally activate car alarm while putting shoes on.

Hard Miles
We saw Hard Miles at Edina 4. Based on a true story, it tells the story of a counselor taking four young men in a correctional school on a long bicycle ride to find themselves. Their destination is the Grand Canyon (which kept reminding me of a similar theme in the movie Grand Canyon. I have a soft spot for movies that prominently feature cycling. Plus Matthew Modine who I first remember from Vision Quest was great in it. His character goes through his own emotional journey in the trip as well. Recommended!
Happy Birthday to Tammy! 🎉 I took the afternoon off for Tammy’s birthday. Mazie wasn’t able to be at home so we drove to St. Olaf and took a nice walk through the Natural Lands with her. We then returned home and got Tyler from school, opened present, had a nice dinner at Pajarito and then a movie at the Edina 4 Theatre! 🎂
Playoff basketball tonight with Timberwolves v Phoenix. Aggressive ball! 🏀 50-51 at the half.
Blog Gardening Reflection
Today was a particularly fun session of blog gardening:
- Realized that we walked the High Line in New York exactly 11 years apart and didn’t know it, first in 2012 and then in 2013.
- Shared 1-year anniversary of a milestone with SPS team.
- Reminded of the Cherry Blossoms in Kyiv.
- Linked all five High Line blog posts together.
- Fixed three photos that had been lost in past blog migrations.
- Used Internet Archive to fill in missing information from a conference I attended in 2016.
- Added a photo from Lightroom that had never been on my blog because it was hard to do that back then.
- Added over a dozen hyperlinks to various posts making them and the web better.
- Fixed a handful of typos.
