Early Sunday morning. Fresh cup of delicious coffee. Fire started in fireplace. Everyone else still sleeping. Gratitude.

It was another delightful evening with The New Standards and friends at the 2022 Holiday Show. This is now one of the key traditions of our Christmas season.

Ticket to Paradise

Tammy and I went to Ticket to Paradise at the newly renovated Edina Theatre today. It was a funny movie, enjoyable, and very predictable. Pretty much exactly what you would expect, which is great if that is what you are looking for. We enjoyed it. 🍿

Tammy and I went to a movie at the newly remodeled Edina Theatre today. The Shining treatment to the 2nd floor bar area is awesome. I had to use the photo opportunity at the typewriter. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

Watched the recording of the USA v Netherlands World Cup game. Sad to see the USA leave the tournament but we played a tough game and had chances. Be back again in four years! βš½οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβš½οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβš½οΈ

Delicious coffee in St. Paul this morning at Yellowbird Coffee Bar.

I reserved three Ethereum Name Service (ENS) names for Minnestar: minnestar.eth, minnebar.eth, and minnedemo.eth. Minnestar doesn’t have a need for them today, but I think they will in the future. I’ll have them over in my thingelstad.eth ENS collection in the meantime. πŸ€“

Some coffee to start your day? β€œCoffee is for closers.” Love this. 🀩 #TeamSPS
