It was a fabulous Father’s Day 2021! Waffles with berries and whipped cream to start the day. Family walk around Lake Harriet. Visiting Family. Finished with dinner at Yum!

I am so lucky for these two kids, and my amazing wife Tammy who took the picture. 🥰

We watched Raya and the Last Dragon tonight. It was a fun movie, great animation, and a classic storyline. The five quests reminded us of Trolls World Tour, but with more complications. 🍿

Drinks at Lake & Irving on the patio. fig & rye (fig infused templeton rye, orange bitters, sugar) and bee’s knees (gin, strega, honey, ginger, lemon). 🥃

Two cocktails on a wooden patio table: a dark amber old fashioned with an orange peel garnish and a pale yellow gin cocktail with a lemon garnish behind it.

I love when friends surprise you with the gift of a good book! I’m looking forward to reading Tiny Habits. Thanks Nick! 📚

My book club met in person for the first time since Jan 30 2020. It was great to see everyone “IRL” and discuss Ishiguro’s “Klara and the Sun”. Great book, great conversation, and a great group of people to be with.

Makes me very happy to see people back in the park listening to music at the Lake Harriet Bandshell.
