Another visit to the Backyard Pandemic Barbershop! Learned tonight that the leaf blower works really well to get the hair off of you at the end. πŸ’ˆ

Hit a new 30-minute PR this morning on my Peloton Bike! Felt great too! #FitByFifty

Minnesota State Fair is officially cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19. That seemed like the only possible outcome, but feels notable nonetheless.

2020 Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony

It was great to attend the Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony tonight held online. The accomplishments of these young women are incredibly impressive. It is an honor that SPS Commerce is one of the sponsors of the program, and we are hosting multiple interns this summer from the program, as we have for multiple years before. A big shout out to Amy Patton of #TeamSPS who has put so much into this program, as well as many others! “Photos” of Erin Mitchell (Keynote), John Bartucz (Educator Honoree), Afiya Ward (State Winner), Amy Patton (Intern Program), Stuti Arora (Intern Speaker), and Russell Fraenkel (Committee Member).

See Aspirations Awards events from 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2024.

Solid climbing intervals in this morning’s 30-minute spin workout. I like how the charts look. πŸ“ˆ #FitByFifty

Who do I want to be during Covid-19?

From Post Corona: The Cosmic Opportunity.

Super excited to be watching live Bundesliga play with Union Berlin v Bayern! While there are no fans in the stadium, it turns out I can yell at the TV just as loud as ever when VAR calls back a Bayern goal! It was awesome to see Bayern take the win 2-0. We enjoyed some takeout cheeseburgers from Tap Society too! ⚽️

Had to go out and raise the Sea Legs up a foot and adjust the pontoon cover poles in the middle of gale force winds and heavy rain. How did you start your Sunday morning? 😬

We enjoyed a nice short hike to the Hidden Falls at Nerstrand Big Woods State Park today. It was our first time to this state park but we will be back to explore some more!
