In which Minneapolis twitter is enthusing about “Spring,” but, having lived somewhere better, I can state unequivocally that what passes for spring here is a weak-ass attempt at what can be a glorious season. “Spring” here is brown and ugly. You can only tell it’s spring because of the slightly sweeter air, and the sudden […]
In which it’s warmed up to 48F and most of the snow is gone. I was eating tacos at 8 o’clock this morning. Scott kept waking me up (I can no longer sleep through anything and everything, a side effect of living five decades, I understand), and I stayed mostly awake after he left for […]
